Abstract :
Spatial database servers allow for the storage and access of 3D geospatial data using open geospatial consortium standards. The Geospatial Database Online Visualization Environment (GeoDOVE) is a prototype 3D Web-based geographic information system that demonstrates how Java3D can reduce bandwidth and allow direct connectivity to spatially enabled database systems. We´ve developed GeoDOVE, a Java3D-based prototype system that retrieves geospatial data from conventional spatial database servers, allows modification of the visualization during runtime, and lets users remotely modify attributes using the structured query language (SQL)
