Extractions: NASAMITZPE Center for Interactive Knowledge of the Middle East Goals of the Center The Information Center , which is known as Tzomet -NASA for short, was formed in order to provide access to the scientific community and the general public to earth science databases in Israel and abroad, via the Internet. The Isra eli database is part of a network of databases that are partnered with NASA's Earth Observing System Data Information System (EOSDIS). Earth Observing System (EOS) program NASAs Earth Observing System is comprised of a series of satellites that are planned to provide comprehensive measurements on Earth for a period of 15 years. By 2002, these observation databases are expected to hold more than 260 informational products, containing more than 3 petabytes of information (a petabyte is 10 megabytes). NASA has already established nine EOSDIS regions outside the United States that link Canada Japan Great Britain Russia and Europe to the eight information centers in the USA . The Isra eli center is part of this network of information centers.

Extractions: (last updated: NOTE: I am in the process of pruning the dead links. This should be finished sometime in July. The following compilation of Internet/WWW sites is intended to be an introductory guide to some of the map and reference resources available via the World Wide Web. Consider using one of the WWW search engines if you are looking for a specific type of map or reference. The maps which are listed here have been selected because they are thought to be reasonably useful and/or interesting. They are categorized by geographical region although there are a couple of thematic categories such as Interactive Maps which both highlights the potential of the WWW and are also fun to use. Note that there is some overlap in geographic coverage between these categories. The emphasis is on displayable maps (e.g. images) rather than digital cartographic (GIS) and satellite data which can be found in the separate compilation Geodata Information Sources . There is also another listing which includes Weather Maps and Imagery This list has been compiled for use by faculty members and students of the Center for Global and Regional Environmental Research . Suggested additions and corrections to this list are welcome and can be sent to the CGRER webmaster Note: These various Internet links may not be accessible at all times.

Extractions: ECAI ePublications Program TimeMap The ECAI ePublication Series provides stable, long-term access to peer reviewed, map-based digital scholarship in history and the humanities. The first series (September 2002) includes: A Sasanian Seal Collection in Context ECAI publications include a text component, a web-based map, and a fully interactive downloadable map. The text provides a prefatory explanation of the research methods, intellectual context, and presumed value of the work. It is recommended that readers begin by exploring the text for general orientation, and then browse to the multi-media materials. A Sasanian Seal Collection in Context: Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative Publication of the Edward Gans Collection at University of California, Berkeley Guitty Azarpay and Jeanette Zerneke The study offers a comprehensive analysis of some 370 sealstones attributed to the Persian Sasanian empire (AD 224-641) in Western Asia during the period of Late Antiquity. The database for the present publication contains information about the seal's pictorial theme and motifs, shape, material of manufacture, iconography and inscription. It is hoped that this database of Sasanian seals may be enriched by the future addition to it of other Sasanian seal collections that may be cataloged according to the relatively simple format adopted for the present study. Electronic publication of the Seal Collection enhances the value of the collection in the following ways. It provides global access to enlarged images of the objects and of their impressions and it enables users to search the collection with multiple criteria. The user may quickly compare seals not only within this publication but also with seals from other collections. Detailed information on the history of the collection, its content, and cataloging methodology is included.

Extractions: Interactive Mapping and Data Analysis ... Welcome to the interactive mapping and geoscience data analysis home page. To provide direct access to our digital data sets, we have developed the following web-based application tool. Although our main goal is to develop an information system for the entire globe, currently, there are regions of special interest, such as the Middle East, North Africa, and the United States, where more detailed data sets can be found. If you are unfamiliar with some abbreviations we used in the data sets sections, you can either check a short list of abbreviations we set up or read more details in the metadata section. Please visit our projects pages to obtain more detailed information about our current research activities at the Institute for the Study of the Continents (INSTOC) and the Department of Geological Sciences at Cornell University. The following Java applet requires and/or Internet Explorer (version 4.0 or later) . It has unprecedented ability to dynamically interact with large volumes of organized digital data sets. It allows you to map and display any parts of the data sets according to your purposes. Using this applet you can make your own maps in any region on earth and display available data sets, identify features, and download maps. In addition, you can register your own data sets and use them along with the data sets provided in our server. It is strongly recommended that first time users read the entire
