CNI Briefing Session: OhioView and Remotely Sensed Imagery
John Millard, Digital Services Librarian from Miami University of Ohio, gave a project briefing on the collection of satellite imagery that has been created as part of the OhioView project. There is an explosion of interest in this satellite imagery due to growing awareness of the utility of the data in agriculture, cartography, education, forestry, geology, and urban planning.
OhioView is collaborating directly with research faculty at multiple institutions to build and manage a shared collection. The facilities of OhioLINK and the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland are used for storage and display of the vast amounts of data. This consortium has been active for about ten years. Mr. Millard explored the next steps, particularly as related to funding the ongoing project, and aspects of the project related to the aging of the LANDSAT satellites that collect the data.
