The Arctic Research Mapping Application (ARMAP) is a suite of online services to provide support of Arctic
science. These services include: a text based online search utility, 2D Internet Map Server (IMS); 3D globes and
Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Map Services (WMS). With ARMAP's 2D maps and 3D globes, users
can navigate to areas of interest, view a variety of map layers, and explore U.S. Federally funded research
projects. Projects can be queried by location, year, funding program, discipline, and keyword. Links take you to
specific information and other web sites associated with a particular research project. The Arctic Research
Logistics Support Service (ARLSS) database is the foundation of ARMAP including US research funded by the
National Science Foundation, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, and the United States Geological Survey. Avoiding a duplication of effort has been a primary
objective of the ARMAP project which incorporates best practices (e.g. Spatial Data Infrastructure and OGC
standard web services and metadata) and off the shelf technologies where appropriate. The ARMAP suite
provides tools for users of various levels of technical ability to interact with the data by importing the web services
directly into their own GIS applications and virtual globes; performing advanced GIS queries; simply printing maps
from a set of predefined images in the map gallery; browsing the layers in an IMS; or by choosing to "fly to" sites
using a 3D globe. With special emphasis on the International Polar Year (IPY), ARMAP has targeted science
planners, scientists, educators, and the general public. In sum, ARMAP goes beyond a simple map display to
enable analysis, synthesis, and coordination of Arctic research. ARMAP may be accessed via the gateway web
site at http://www.armap.org.
