BPA would also like to acknowledge our mapping partners, Houston Endowment, Inc., the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Biological Information Infrastructure Program (NBII). As an NBII partner, BPA has been able to access cutting-edge internet mapping technologies. For example, BPA's applications have all been developed to utilize Open Geospatial Consortium web map services (WMS) technology. OGC WMS technology enables a user to access maps from multiple map servers (from many different vendors) in a single session using a simple web browser as the client. Thus, every web user's universe of readily accessible spatial data expands with every vendor's implementation of the OGC WMS specification that goes online. Hence, it is getting easier for users to get and make maps via the web.
