Terra Directory

TerraDirectory

TerraDirectory allows online directed searching of directories (data resources), which contain geographically distributed objects or points of interest (POI).  LISAsoft obtains POI’s from several sources, including PSMA (major buildings, post offices & many others, Gazetteer (natural features, monuments etc), HWW (restaurants, pubs etc) and other commercial providers of directory data (businesses etc).  The TerraDirectory service allows POIs to be identified and searched from these specified directories, based on defining POI information such as name, feature type(s), and spatial location of those POI’s.  It is based on Part 1: Directory Service of the OGC OpenLS Specification (OGC 03006r3).

TerraDirectory is presently incorporated into BuddyFinder and Store Locator (individual stores being the POI’s).  LISAsoft plans to extend the product to operate in conjunction with our mobile SMS products, 197House and 1976Maps (see below). 

Further information on TerraDirectory is available at the Terrapages Directory page.
