Data Viewer.

Once a user decides to view a map, following from his/her browsing or searching process and after being prompted with the list of metadata, the application will present the user with the appropriate interface. This interface will allow the user to access the maps and the related information according to the nature of the data that are being sought. Specifically, there are two possible interfaces that the user will get once he/she clicks to view a map: one is the interface to view a map and to do map manipulation such as overlaying of map layers from the different sources. The second is the interface that allows the user to view a map to perform further data searches associated to the location as presented by the map.
