Van Demark" Cc: Dick Hoskins Message-id: <3E25B156.6020205@vdh.state.va.us> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X-Accept-Language: en-us, en Peter: I have just begun learning a bit about the SVG format which, as I understand it, supports some limited interactivity by an Internet user using a web browser, with map files and data sets as described in the web-based article at: http://www.geoplace.com/gw/2003/0301/0301svg.asp. I know Dick Hoskins has been doing some work to explore the use of the SVG format for public access to various health-related geographic data sets...although I don't know what success he may or may not have had. I know Caliper has Maptitude for the Web, but is there any product development work related to supporting SVG format going on with Maptitude, perhaps in the new 4.6 version? Look forward to hearing from you. Kevin Byrnes Va Dept for the Aging .
