What is TerraCatalog?
In addition to its exciting new-and-improved capabilities, the upcoming TerraBuilder Version 6.0, features an effective means of organizing and managing your data sources. The new TerraCatalog component indexes all imagery and elevation raster sources and TerraBuilder projects found on your local and network drives, providing an integrated and unified view of all your data sources. TerraCatalog can link to your organization database to support multiple users or use a personal database for single user mode.
TerraCatalog not only stores links to your source and project files, it stores all geospatial and attribution information it retrieves from your raster files, such as coordinate system and metadata, as well as TerraBuilder related information, such as cache files and polygons. You can even view a preview image of your raster data using the TerraCatalog plug-in system.
TerraCatalog’s sophisticated search engine uses advanced textual and spatial search mechanisms so that you can quickly find the geographical data you want. Advanced management tools allow you to keep your data as current as possible.
