PR Newswire (US)
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- (GEOINT, Booth
#256) - Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international
communications and information technology company, today introduced
the Geospatial Data Access Retrieval Translator (GeoDART(TM)), a
powerful new web-based search engine that enables geospatial
information users to perform multiple searches, in parallel and
across multiple data sources, using any service-oriented
architecture (SOA) platform. The commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)
product is designed for a wide range of government and commercial
applications, including intelligence, oil and gas, agriculture,
civil engineering, environmental protection and disaster response.
GeoDART is a new generation of the proven Harris data discovery,
management and translation software tools embedded within legacy
Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) being used by thousands of
government researchers and analysts. To provide greater flexibility
for users and expand the product's application to commercial
markets, GeoDART has been redesigned as a standardized COTS tool
that can be easily plugged into any SOA-based GIS. GeoDART can
query multiple libraries, catalogs and databases for geospatial and
textual data, and provide search results in a common set of
attributes for display via the user interface. It supports various
external web-service user interfaces, including the new Harris
Geo-STAR(TM) product, and provides external credential and identity
management. GeoDART allows users to customize their queries or
orders by size and format, and supports automatic ordering of
discovered products upon completion of a query. Queries can be
conducted on an ad hoc basis, executed automatically at a set time,
or saved and run on demand. GeoDART supports Boolean Query Syntax
(BQS), query validation, parameter validation, and status checks of
queries and orders. "GeoDART offers the proven benefits of Harris
geospatial discovery technology in a COTS product that can quickly
search and retrieve information from multiple libraries, data
content providers and third-party databases," said Sheldon Fox,
president of National Intelligence Programs for Harris Government
Communications Systems. "This new product is another example of our
