SeaWEB: A Web portal for the CenSSIS SeaBED testbed

SeaBED is a facility developed at the NSF Center for Subsurface Sensing and Imaging Systems (CenSSIS) to study applications of hyperspectral imaging to aquatic subsurface sensing. This report describes SeaWEB, a web based client/server software project that emerged from the need to have a tool to organize, search and display data, metadata, field data and images generated by SeaBED. SeaWEB project provides researchers of CenSSIS with single entry point to those data sources, using a Web browser. The web server application based is on Java Servlet technology and the client on Macromedia Flash. These components are based on the Terrascope system, which is a Web-based Earth Science Database Middleware System, developed at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez.
