Abstract: Collaborative environments in a geographic information system (GIS). Collaboration between multiple processors can be provided within the GIS. A first processor can stream to a server session list entry describing an edit conducted on an image by the first processor. The first processor can also stream a scenario describing geo-spatial analysis of the image conducted by the first processor. The first processor can also stream images along with an animated window. The server can stream the session list entry, the scenario, and/or the images along with animated window to a second processor. The image can include three dimensional data and streaming of data can occur across networks such as the Internet.

Abstract: Streaming data in a geographic information system (GIS). A request for an object is received for presentation of the object along with image data. The object is described by an attribute. A level of detail (LOD) is determined. The attribute can be compared to the LOD. The object can be selectively streamed based on a result of the comparison of the attribute with the LOD. The object can be received from a data storage and retrieval subsystem of the GIS system by a data manipulation and analysis subsystem. The streaming of requests and data between the data storage and retrieval subsystem and the data manipulation and analysis subsystem can take place over a network such as a local area network, a wide area network, and/or the Internet.
