I have been a part of three different data collection efforts that collected line geometry and infrastructure of recreational trails. One effort was the development of the Fish and Wildlife Services (FWS) Trails Inventory Program. This effort involved collecting trails data in FWS national wildlife refuges across the United States. The second was an effort […]
WordPress and Drupal are open source content management platforms powering millions of websites and applications. They allow you to easily organize, manage and publish your content, with an endless variety of customization. Both are written in the PHP programming language and depend on a MySQL database. Because WordPress and Drupal are Open Source projects, users […]
I am working on an application that show pictures with hidden objects in them and the user is supposed to find and click on them. It is very similar to some of the popular search-and-find games on Facebook. Here you can try it yourself. On the picture below, try to find the yellow submarine.
When setting up a website, one of the largest hurdles is deciding on a host site. Much time is spent deciding on pricing and the amount of resources that will be required, and this will be a quick walk through of the process. The first thing to take into consideration is any special needs your […]
Zekiah is pleased to announce the promotion of Eric Mahaffey to the position of Vice President. Mr. Mahaffey will be managing Zekiah’s new contract at the Department of Homeland Security in Arlington, VA.

The total value of the contract is $5,618,312.99 over a three-year period.
So nearly everything we have discussed so far is not really useful unless we can figure a way to get it to help with what we need to do with geospatial data. It’s sort of like having the world’s greatest bowling ball with no lanes. How do we make this help us with increasing productivity, […]
Much of the conceptual background and structure managing a geospatial data model using a platform-independent model (PIM) has been outlined in previous posts. And while it is useful to understand how the PIM is structured in the tables and views inside the PIM database, the critical knowledge relates to the way the PIM API retrieves […]
The PIM now contains sets of features (the pimFeature) grouped into sets (the pimConfiguration) with properties and referencing sets of attributes (the pimAttribute). For may GIS solutions, this is all that is required for collecting, validating, and displaying geospatial data. But the PIM also contains the ability to constrain attribute values in a variety of […]
