Minimum requirements for installation:

  • ArcGIS 9.2 (EDC will not work with v9.3**)

  • ArcGIS 9.2 Service Pack 3** (available for download at ESRI)

  • Java Run-Time Environment 6

  • .NET Framework 2.0 or 3.0

    The EDC is provided "as-is", with no support contract. Currently there are no plans (i.e. no funds) for immediate revisions or improvements. However with additional funding ASA is quite willing to make further modifications to the EDC, such as:

  • Compatability with ArcGIS 9.3

  • Adding in datasets served by ERD’s ERDDAP, a RESTful service that can access eight different protocols

  • OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) standards

  • If you are interested in funding further improvements to the EDC
