ESRI International User Conference, SAN DIEGO, Aug. 7 // -- MetaCarta®, Inc., a leading provider of geographic intelligence solutions, today announced that they have signed an agreement to provide MetaCarta GeoTagger as a component of ESRI's ArcWeb Services. ArcWeb Services users will be able to geo-reference data found in unstructured documents such as articles, field service documents, internal reports, and Web pages and view the results in custom mapping applications.
ArcWeb Services allows users to access GIS content and capabilities over the Web, on-demand. Data storage, maintenance, and updates are handled by ESRI eliminating the overhead of purchasing and maintaining large data sets.
"MetaCarta and ESRI are working together closely to support ESRI's 'GIS for Everyone' efforts. This solution provides on-demand geospatial analysis of documents for business users and GIS professionals that need to bring unstructured content into the GIS world," said Claudine Bianchi, vice president of marketing for MetaCarta.
"ESRI's GIS technology is continually evolving, and we are excited to extend our capabilities to include on-the-fly processing of unstructured data typically found in articles, field service documents, and reports," said Jack Dangermond, president of ESRI. "MetaCarta's solutions help spatially enable data that was previous inaccessible. The data is served in a cost-effective manner that helps extend GIS to business applications."
The MetaCarta GeoTagger ArcWeb Services solution will be demonstrated in MetaCarta's booth #815 during the ESRI User Conference in San Diego August 8-10 2006. The solution will be available through ESRI's extensive developer and reseller channel. General product availability is expected in Q4 2006.
