Overview

GeoMedia® SDI Portal from Intergraph® is a Web application that acts as a client for spatial data infrastructure (SDI) services. It is installed and configured on a Web application server so multiple users can access the site using Web browsers. It is used to find, view, and query geospatial data published with standard SDI Web services and to integrate multiple sources into a single map view that can be easily navigated.

GeoMedia SDI Portal simplifies the process of finding, connecting to, and displaying spatial data published through Web services. It ensures smooth browsing through intuitive navigation controls and technical advances, such as asynchronous communication that ensures panning and zooming are not interrupted by having to wait for servers to respond. The client’s utility is enhanced by additional tools such as measuring area and distance, controlling the appearance of individual map layers, and saving and recalling the current map context. GeoMedia SDI Portal supports all the Web services and open standards that a modern SDI client requires.

This document describes the functionality of GeoMedia SDI Portal used in everyday work and includes necessary procedures, concepts, and technical information.
