Geosoft DAP Server is able to efficiently catalog and deliver a broad range of data file types, including very large geospatial grids, 3D voxels, images and vector data.
ArcView File Sets |
.SHP, .SHX, .DBF will be catalogued as spatially registered documents. DAP will deliver selected documents to an Oasis client that will then display the data in a Geosoft map, or to an ArcGIS DAP client that can displays the SHP files directly. |
MapInfo File Sets |
.TAB,.MAP,.ID,.DAT will be catalogued as spatially registered documents. DAP will deliver selected document files to an Oasis client that will then display the data in a Geosoft map, or to an MapInfo DAP client that can displays the TAB files directly. |
acQuire databases |
Data stored in a corporate acQuire database can be cataloged and distributed to acQuire enabled client applications using the acQuire API. acQuire surface point campaigning datasets using SEL files are now supported. |
ESRI Geodatabase |
First level support for ESRI Geodatabases and ArcSDE by creating a data connector file. |
Grid Files |
All supported Geosoft grid types (Geosoft, ESRI, ER Mapper, and more than 30 others). Each grid file must be spatially located within a geographic or projected coordinate system. |
Image Files |
All Geosoft supported image file formats. Each image must be spatially located within a geographic or projected coordinate system. |
Geosoft Maps |
Geosoft maps will be supported as spatially referenced documents. |
Geosoft databases |
Geosoft GDB files will be support full windowing to selected area of interest. GDB files must contain a designated X, Y coordinate channel pair in a defined projected to geographic coordinate system. |
Geosoft HyperGrids |
Very large regional grids can be converted to Geosoft HyperMaps for more efficient windowing and delivery by DAP. Administrator tools are provided to support the creation of HyperGrids. |
Geosoft HyperXYZ |
Very large point attribute data (X, Y, attributes…) can be converted to Geosoft HyperXYZ format for efficient windowing and data delivery by DAP. Administrator tools are provided to support the creation of HyperXYZ data from Geosoft GDB files. |
Geosoft HyperMaps |
Specific large point and line GIS themes, such as drainage, political boundaries, claim boundaries can be converted to Geosoft HyperMaps for efficient windowing and distribution by DAP. Administrator tools are provided for the creation of HyperMaps from a selected Geosoft map group. |
Geosoft Voxel |
Three dimensional model and visualization data stored in a Geosoft 3D voxel format. |
Documents |
All document types (DOC, PDF) can be catalogued with spatial references for delivery of the document files to DAP clients. |
AutoCAD drawings |
AutoCAD drawings are not directly supported. AutoCAD drawings can be converted to Geosoft MAP files or to GIS themes and distributed in these formats. |
MS Access |
MS Access databases are not directly supported except as spatially located documents. Data contained in an MS Access database can be imported into a Geosoft GDB file and converted to Geosoft HyperXYZ file for distribution. |
