Zotero

Zotero

Zotero is an easy-to-use yet powerful research tool that helps you gather, organize, and analyze sources (citations, full texts, web pages, images, and other objects), and lets you share the results of your research in a variety of ways. An extension to the popular open-source web browser Firefox, Zotero includes the best parts of older reference manager software (like EndNote)—the ability to store author, title, and publication fields and to export that information as formatted references—and the best parts of modern software and web applications (like iTunes and del.icio.us), such as the ability to interact, tag, and search in advanced ways. Zotero integrates tightly with online resources; it can sense when users are viewing a book, article, or other object on the web, and—on many major research and library sites—find and automatically save the full reference information for the item in the correct fields. Since it lives in the web browser, it can effortlessly transmit information to, and receive information from, other web services and applications; since it runs on one’s personal computer, it can also communicate with software running there (such as Microsoft Word). And it can be used offline as well (e.g., on a plane, in an archive without WiFi).

Using MapManager 9.1 to Import OS MasterMap

Using MapManager 9.1 to Import OS MasterMap

original item

Overview

To use OS MasterMap data downloaded from Digimap in ArcGIS 9, it is necessary to import the GML data into a Geodatabase. For small datasets (under 2Gb) where multi-user editing is not required, this can be a Personal Geodatabase. For larger amounts of data or where multi-user editing is required, an ArcSDE Geodatabase is required.

Once data has been loaded into the Geodatabase the user has several options with what to do with the data:

1. Preview the data in ArcCatalog
2. View and edit the data using ArcMap
3. Export the data as Shapefiles or in other formats:
   • Using the MapManager 9 OS MasterMap Geodatabase Filter – user can speciofy regions of data to export using a polygon and select specific feature classes to export
   • Using ArcToolbox, export individual feature classes to: Shape, Arc coverages and CAD formats
