Dynamic Atlas is a suite of information publishing and access
tools developed by FAO-Environment, Climate Change and Bioenergy Division (NRC) and
SKE Inc., Canada. Dynamic Atlas allows organizations to
publish and access information from national to local scale by using technologies
"ready-to-go", which means easy to implement and use.
These generic technologies enable the publishing of maps, databases, and documents with
the click of a button. The diagram on the right outlines the architecture that is built
around the concept of a corporate warehouse(s) of related data. Development and maintenance
of systems based upon DA is very easy for organizations even in partnership
with other units.
Dynamic Atlas components are:
Dynamic Maps
It is the viewer of Dynamic Atlas. It displays "atlases" of data and
information and allows users the browsing of maps, which are used as
a "library" for related documents and web links. Dynamic Maps can easily
export maps in PowerPoint and perform related data analysis in Excel.
Integration with commercial databases is also supported.
