Geology (42)High quality color maps that plot the location of and display analytical datasets, descriptions, images, or movies are difficult to publish in a format that facilitates their easy access, distribution and use. The need for them is clear: most professional geologic meetings start and end with map-based field trips, students are taught using them, and they form the backbone of many geologic research projects. With previous NSF funding, the PI developed a proof-of-concept solution on the Macintosh, called the Dynamic Digital Map. DDMs display data using several methods, including point-and-click at icons pin-pointing locations on maps, from lists of samples or sites, and by linked text. The data displayed by a DDM come from spreadsheets, or files created in CAD or GIS programs by any author who inserts or links it into a DDM Template, following instructions in a "DDM Cookbook". The finished DDM becomes a freely distributable "stand alone" program, running with no additional software. This project continues and accelerates the Macintosh-only DDM conversion to a cross-platform program (Win32, Macintosh, Linux) that is web enabled and allows information to be expressed at different user levels (e.g. from the professional to the junior high earth-science class) in one DDM, thus encompassing a wide audience. Dissemination is by WWW (including DLESE) and CD, with reviews and testing in several institutions. The first workshop on how to create and use DDMs is being held at the Geological Society of America Northeast Sectional meeting March 24, 2002.

地质（42）高质量的颜色地图绘制了分析数据集，描述，图像或电影的位置和显示的格式，以促进其易于访问，分发和使用。对他们的需求很明显：大多数专业的地质会议从基于地图的实地考察开始和结尾，使用它们教导学生，它们构成了许多地质研究项目的骨干。通过以前的NSF资助，PI在Macintosh上开发了概念验证解决方案，称为动态数字地图。 DDMS使用几种方法显示数据，包括从图像上的图标点点点击位置，从样本或站点列表中以及通过链接的文本显示。 DDM显示的数据来自电子表格，或者根据“ DDM食谱”中的说明，将其插入或链接到DDM模板中的任何作者在CAD或GIS程序中创建的文件。完成的DDM成为一个可以自由分发的“独立”程序，没有其他软件运行。该项目继续进行，并加速仅Macintosh的DDM转换为启用网络的跨平台程序（Win32，Macintosh，Linux），并允许在一个DDM中以不同的用户级别（例如，从专业级别到初级地球科学级别）在一个DDM中表达信息。传播是由www（包括DLESE）和CD进行的，在几个机构中进行了评论和测试。 2002年3月24日，美国地质学会东北部会议举行了有关如何创建和使用DDM的第一个研讨会。
