Abstract

Ongoing and completed planetary and Earth satellite missions have spawned large image data archives distributed all over the world. The searching for specific data suffers from lack of using international query and catalogue standards, slow network connections, no graphical user interface (GUI) and no platform independent client software. The proposed GDSS (Graz Distributed Server System) project outlines the system design, the setup of a high-speed ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) backbone and the prototype implementation. The GDSS prototype uses Java and JDBC (Java Data Base Connectivity) in order to access any ANSI SQL compatible relational database system with the same set of SQL statements. The client software provides remote access to search and retrieve data from a planetary meta-data set. The 500 GByte NASA Magellan data set from planet Venus was used as a first test dataset. However, the system is not restricted to the given dataset. We expect data management concepts, network technology, Java client software and database connectivity based on international standards illustrated within the GDSS project to also be applicable to Earth based remote sensing data.
