Environment(s)



• @Search Conditions@ Window (Section 3.2.4)

ExplainationThe Edit menu is used to edit an active browser window section 3.2.1 or the Warp Menu Edit window

section 3.2.5 . The menu items provide the standard editing functions of the OS used. Please be awarethat the target of each editing operation varies depending on the active window type.

The Copy Place Info menu item is only valid for the browser window (Section 3.2.1) . If this menuitem is selected in the browser window, the location currently displayed in the browser is copied to theclipboard as a warp point. In the Warp Menu Edit window (Section 3.2.5) , it is possible to insert thiswarp point as a menu item in the Warp menu with the Paste function. If you insert the warp point onthe clipboard into another application, it is inserted as an XML-formatted character string specifying theinformation of the warp point; thus, the information can easily be transferred between applications, sentvia email etc.

The Paste function becomes valid if the focus is on the map currently displayed in the browser window(Section 3.2.1) while a warp point is copied onto the clip board. If you select the Paste function at thispoint, the browser warps to the newly pasted warp point. Note that it is necessary to keep the focuson a map in order to perform this paste operation.

• Add Warp Point

• Set Home Position

• Edit Warp Point

• New Warp Group

• Warp destination names and place names

• Loading... [URL] ( a menu appearing in the list)

Environment(s)



• @Search Conditions@ Window (Section 3.2.4)

ExplainationThe Warp menu is used to add warp points and warp to the currently set warp points. Warp points

can be thought of as bookmarks of WWW browsers.It is possible to toggle between the Replace Mode and Insert Mode by selecting the corresponding

menu items; these modes determine how searching conditions are handled at warping. If the ReplaceMode is selected, all search conditions of the current map that do not match the search conditions set forthe warp position are ignored while warping. If the Insert Mode is selected, the search conditions of thecurrent map are maintained and new search conditions specified for the current warp point are added tothe existing list.

7

Use the Add Warp Point menu item to add the map position and search conditions currentlydisplayed in the browsing panel (Section 3.2.1) as a warp point in the Warp Point menu.

Use the Set Home Position menu item to set the location currently displayed as the ”home position,”which is displayed by default when the browser window is started up.

If you select the Edit Warp Point menu item, the Warp Menu Edit window (Section 3.2.5) appears.In this window, you can change titles of warp points, make detailed settings of positions and rotationangles and so on. Please refer to section 3.2.5 for more information.

The New Warp Group menu item is used to create new warp groups; it is only valid in the WarpMenu Edit (Section 3.2.5) window. In the menu, warp groups are arranged in sub-menus.

Select a warp destination name or location name to warp ( jump) to the warp point specifiedin the menu item. The list of warp destinations may be arranged hierarchically.

The Loading... [URL]” menu may appear in the list of warp menu items. If you select this menu,the browser accesses the URL specified in this menu item, downloads a new warp group and inserts it atthe selected position in the menu. Once a collection of warp points is inserted, it is stored in the settinginformation of each user. The next time COSMOS is started up, the latest collection of warp points isdownloaded automatically.

You can use the Warp Menu Edit window (Section 3.2.5) to stop downloading or change downloaddestinations.

Submenu(s)

• Keep Layers’ Show/Hide

• Mapping Information

Environment(s)


ExplainationIf you click the menu item, a check mark is placed in the menu and the function is enabled. The check

mark can be toggled on/off.Check the Keep Layers’ Show/Hide menu item to store the status of whether to show or hide each

layer in the Display Coordinates tab (Section 3.2.3) while browsing, together with the states of otherlayers at that point in time. The stored show/hide status of each layer is recovered the next time youstart the COSMOS browser and the displayed coordinate layer is set to the same status. This allows youto avoid the trouble of having to hide unnecessary layers every time you start browsing.

If you enable the Mapping Information menu item, information of the current mapping file ( .map)is displayed in the browser section. This function displays the name and position of mapping points onthe map.

Environment(s)



ExplainationThis menu is used to select a window from the currently active windows. Floating windows are not

displayed in the list, however. The menu items provide the standard window selection functions of theOS used. Thus, in case of Windows, for example, the active windows are added to the window menu listdisplayed at the bottom of the menu rather than within the actual menu.

tion.Browsing PanelWhen the Browsing panel is in focus, you can move the displayed map with the mouse. If you click

the Grab button ( colored), you can click and drag the mouse on the map to move the view up/down orleft/right. If you click the Rotate button, you can move the mouse to rotate the map.

Click the Zoom In button to view a smaller area on the map in greater detail. Click the Zoom Outbutton to view a larger area of the map in less detail. The left and right History buttons are used togo to map locations you have visited before. Click the left button to go back to previous map locationsvisited in the past. If you go too far back, you can click the right button to go forward.

Warp BoxUse the Warp box to jump to a desired URL, by entering the coordinates and clicking the Warp

button. At this point, the search conditions are not changed. You can also warp to coordinate URLsusing the Warp menu. Please refer to section 2.2.3 for more information.

Various convenient advanced features are available when entering URLs in the Warp box.

1. Entry Matching with URL Condition Settings

For example, enclose the last part with [] as follows.

xlp://gbs.ur-plaza.osaka-cu.ac.jp:8080/others/noaa/ [type2/image.crd]

This instructs the viewer to set the URL search conditions to the following character string:

xlp://gbs.ur-plaza.osaka-cu.ac.jp:8080/others/noaa/

and then warp to the following location:

xlp://gbs.ur-plaza.osaka-cu.ac.jp:8080/others/noaa/type2/image.crd

As a result, all coordinates under the /others/noaa/ directory are displayed.

Information Display PanelIf you place the mouse on the map, this panel displays the information at the mouse position. If you

want to display the information in a WWW browser, click the Launch W3 Browser button. A WWWbrowser starts up and displays the information.

3.2.6 Authentication Dialog

WindowWindow Parts(s)

Window Structure

1. Preamble Dialog Panel

2. Service Dialog Panel

Environment(s)Available Menus: None

ExplainationIf coordinate systems listed in the Displayed Coordinates tab (Section 3.2.3) as display targets con-

tain contents requiring authentication, an authentication icon appears at the line of the correspondingcoordinate system Fig.3.12 . Click this authentication icon to open the Authentication dialog Fig.3.11to perform authentication operation. If the authentication succeeeds, the authentication icon in theDisplayed Coordinates tab disappears and the target contents are displayed. This section explains thestructure of the Authentication dialog and how to authenticate contents.

Fig.3.13 shows each component of the Authentication dialog. The dialog is largely divided into thePreamble Dialog panel and the Service Dialog panel. The Preamble Dialog panel deals with overallauthentication and contains the Cancel and Authenticate buttons for deciding whether or not to authen-ticate all contents. Under the panel, one or more Service Dialog panels follow.

The Service Dialog panels are used to specify authentification settings for individual ”services” thatsend various contents once they are authenticated. Some coordinate systems combine content providedby multiple services and/or multiple contents provided by individual services. In such cases, there aremultiple services and multiple Service Dialog panels thus appear. In the case of Fig.3.13 , only one ServiceDialog panel is shown.

In the following, each part is explained in the order of authentication operation.

1. Title/Description ( Explanation)

This area provides the title or short description of the service in question. In Fig.3.13 , the title”Old Maps of Kyoto” is shown. You can confirm the service contents in this area.

2. Details Button

This button is enabled if a Website containing detailed information about the service contentsis available. Click this button to launch a WWW browser to jump to the page containing theexplanation.

3. Service Name

This is the code given to a service. The system identifies services by their codes. You can use it asan indication to check whether a given service is something you requested or not.

4. Authentication Type

This is a keyword indicating the authentication method. As of the current version, ver.B.b16, thefollowing two authentication methods are supported.

• fix-user-passwd

• localhost-root

Note that localhost-root does not allow normal users to view the contents provided by the service.Thus, in practice, only fix-user-passwd appears in this dialog. More authentication methods willbe implemented in the near future.

5. Status

The status indicates the current authentication condition.

• Required Some contents require authentication and the server requests authentication. Thisstatus may also indicate that no authentication operation has so far been performed.

• Failure This indicates that some contents require authentication and authentication has failedonce.

• Success This indicates that authentication succeeded and the contents are currently availablefor viewing.

Next to each of these states, a valid/invalid pull-down menu shows the current authentication statuson the client side. If Disable is shown in the menu, the client is not ready to send authenticationinformation to the server. If Enable is shown in the menu, on the other hand, the client is ready tosend information required for authentication to the server.

Select the Enable option to validate the service and authenticate the contents.

6. User Name/Password

The User Name/Password text boxes currently shown contain information required for fix-user-passwd authentication type services. Enter the user name and password information youobtained from the server administrator or similar in advance.

7. Cancel and Authenticate Buttons in the Preamble Dialog

Lastly, click the Authenticate button to start authentication. If the authentication succeeds, theAuthentication icon in Fig.3.12 disappears Fig.3.14 . If the authentication fails, however, the

25

Authentication icon appears again; you can click the Authentication icon to try to authenticateagain.

Click the Cancel button if authentication should not be performed.

Figure 3.14: Main Window after Authentication, the Authentication Icon Disappears

Even if several services are displayed, it is not required to select Enable for all the services. If servicesare provided at several levels, Enable should only be selected for required contents. It is risky to Enablecontents indiscriminately; the more contents are made valid, the more personal informationis sent to the server side.

Figure 4.3: Preferences Dialog/Home URL Tab (Home URL and Navigation Condition)


ExplainationIn this tab, it is defined how the initial map is displayed when the browser window (Section 3.2.1)

is opened. There are two basic settings, Using Warp and Using Home URL and Navigation Condition,which can be selected using the radio buttons in the @Define Home Position@ panel. The default at theinitial installation is Using Warp.

Using warpIn this method, one warp (Section 5.26) position is stored in advance, which is called up at the same

time as the browser window is launched, thus determining the map to be displayed at first. The defaultvalues are specified for the warp position at intallation. It is also possible to change the setting: Openthe browser window (Section 3.2.1) , place the focus on the map, and select the Set Home Position menuitem from the Warp menu (Section 2.2.3) displayed to store the current browser window display statusas the initial warp position. From then on, this status is reproduced every time a new browser windowis opened.

It is also possible to edit an already set warp point. Click the Editing Position button to open theWarp Menu Edit window (Section 3.2.5) where one warp menu is specified. Then edit the menu accordingto the instructions shown in the Warp Menu Edit window to customize the display method.

Using Home URL and Navigation ConditionUnlike Using Warp, in this mode the initially displayed map is determined by the specified Hom and

Navigation Condition settings. When you open the browser window, the map corresponding to the URL

30

set as the ”Home URL” is called up. Next, maps matching the ”Navigation Condition” in the vicinityare searched for and overlapped with the default map.

The Navigation Condition can be edited in the same way as for the browser window’s Search Condi-tions tab (Section 3.2.2) . Please refer to section 3.2.2 .

Explaination

33

This tab is used to define how displayed resources shall be cached. If you select Disable from thepull-down menu, the resources are not cached at all and all the required resources are acquired directlyfrom the network. Acquired resources are not saved in cache; all resources maintained in memory arelost when the application is terminated.

If you select Enable from the pull-down menu, all new resources are first acquired from the networkin the same way as for Disable. In this mode, however, the acquired resources are always stored in thecache. The Enable setting takes effect the next time the browser is launched.

If you select Enable, the cache is referenced first when resources are requested. If the resources havealready been stored in the cache, they are acquired from it rather than downloaded via the net. Thecontent is only kept in the cache for a certain period of time, after which it expires and must be acquiredby accessing the network if required at a later point. Resources not found in cache are also acquired fromthe network. Acquired resources are written to cache.

There are two basic types of resources, ”mapping paths” and other ”resources.” Mapping paths areresources that link other resources together through coordinate transformations. Other resources includeraster data, vector data, as well as resources of maps themselves, such as the coordinate systems in whichthey are placed. It is possible to specify a cache for each type of resource.

Explaination

35

The COSMOS viewer provides methods of accessing resources outside the local network via a proxyserver in cases where it is not possible to access external resources directly.

HTTP ProxyIf the Internet can only be accessed through a HTTP proxy server or a firewall that only allows

HTTP protocol communication to go through, this proxy setting should be enabled. This option allowsthe XL protocol unique to GLOBALBASE to be communicated via the HTTP protocol. Thus, if a firewallallows only HTTP traffic to go through, the HTTP protocol can be used to access GLOBALBASE serversdirectly. Refer to section 4.2.5 for the detailed information.

XL Native ProxyIn this method, if an XL native proxy server exists, access to GLOBALBASE is made through the

server. Refer to section 4.2.6 for the detailed information.GatewayIn this tab, it is possible to select a method for viewing via COSMOS using the HTTP gateway

[UNDEF REF (http-gateway)], which may come in handy for PCs with low processing power. Pleasenote that this option is deprecated. We are considering to delete the function in the future. The HTTPgateway can be viewed via a Web browser.

ExplainationIf the Internet can only be accessed through a HTTP proxy server or a firewall that only allows HTTP

protocol communication to go through, this proxy setting should be enabled. This option allows the XLprotocol, which is unique to GLOBALBASE, to be communicated via the HTTP protocol. Thus, if afirewall that allows only HTTP traffic to go through exists, the HTTP protocol can be used to accessGLOBALBASE servers directly.

If such a firewall exists, simply select the XL over HTTP radio button. In this case, there is no needto set any other information. The XL protocol is embedded in HTTP packets to allow the traffic to gothrough the firewall.

If it is necessary to access servers via the HTTP proxy, select the Enable Proxy radio button andset the proxy server name and port No. If an internal server exists and GLOBALBASE servers must beaccessed directly, enter the information of the servers to be accessed directly and click the Add button.The servers to be accessed directly appear in the Data list below. If you want to delete a server from thislist, select the server to be deleted and click the Delete button.


BugsThe server is not compatible with all proxy servers and there are pending problems regarding the

communication speed. To alleviate this, we are in the process of developing light-weight, high-speedstreaming [UNDEF REF (xl-stream-routing)]methods. We intend to shift to proxy servers that utilizesuch methods in the future. COSMOS does not support such methods yet.

Glossary of Computer Terms

5.1 Words: OS

ExplainOperating System. Refers to a system that controls various resources (Section 5.2) of a computer.

Resources include files on the hard disk, CPU usage, display output, mouse and keyboard input and soon. An application (Section 5.3) requests the OS a permission to use such resources. Sometimes, thesame resource is used by multiple applications. In such cases, the operating systems coordinate the usageof the resources such that no data is lost in the process.

5.2 Words: Resource

ExplainSubjects used by computer systems. There are many different kinds of resources, including files on

the hard disk, CPU usage, display output, mouse and keyboard input and so on.

5.3 Words: Application

ExplainApplication programs. Programs designed for particular purposes. COSMOS is an example of such

programs. The opposite concept of applications is known as basic software (Section 5.4) .

5.4 Words: Basic Software

ExplainBasic software (Section 5.6) is required when executing operating systems (Section 5.1) and other

applications (Section 5.3) . In addition to the operating system itself, basic software includes databasesoftware, Windows system, network protocols and so on. LANDSCAPE [2]can be considered basicsoftware. WWW browsers are also considered basic software sometimes.

The boundary between basic software and applications is vague. It is necessary to judge whichprograms shall be considered basic software on a case by case basis, and may sometimes even changefrom one discussion to the next.

5.5 Words: Installation

ExplainThe task of copying and setting up software (Section 5.6) such that it can be used.

As shown in Fig.5.1 and Fig.5.2 , a window system is a graphical interface (Section 5.12) that displaysinformation etc. in rectangular graphical objects called windows on a computer screen or similar. Fig.5.2shows an example one such window.

There are basically two types of window systems, overlapping and non-overlapping ones. Overlappingwindows can be placed ’on top of each other’ as shown in Fig.5.1 . The overlapping processing placesa high computational load on the computers, however. Non-overlapping windows, on the other hand,are always arranged horizontally or vertically, and never overlap. As the windows do not overlap, thecomputational burden is much lighter. For this reason, the former type is primarily used in PCs where thedemands for advanced interface functions are high while the latter type is often used in mobile phones,car navigation systems and other embedded systems that require user interfaces but are limited in termsof processing power.

5.19 Words: Close Box

ExplainA button for closing a window. Fig.5.2

ExplainA rectangular graphical object used for displaying information, as shown in Fig.5.1 and Fig.5.2 . Note

that windows are not necessarily rectangular; some systems allow round windows as well.

5.26 Words: Warp

ExplainTo warp refers to an operation in GLOBALBASE where the display is changed to a certain map

position.

5.27 Words: Warp Point

ExplainIn GLOBALBASE, a Warp point refers to the destination of a warp (Section 5.26) operation.

5.28 Words: Cut and Paste

ExplainCut and Paste refers to a means of copying and moving information to be used in GUI (Section 5.12)

applications, when it is desired to use information available at a certain location in another location aswell or when it is desired to use particular information of a certain application in another application.Under normal circumstances, these functions are placed in the Edit menu.

An ( invisible) storage area commonly called a clipboard (Section 6.8) is prepared by the operatingsystem, in which the copied information is stored temporarily. In this way it becomes possible to moveinformation visible in a window to the clipboard and move temporarily stored information from theclipboard back to a window. Specifically, the following operations are possible.

• Cut

Information selected in a window is moved to the clipboard and the information selected in thewindow is deleted.

• Copy

Information selected in a window is copied to the clipboard. The information in the window is notdeleted.

• @Delete@

Information selected in a window is deleted. The information is not moved to the clipboard.

45

• Paste

Information on the clipboard is copied to the position selected in a window. The information onthe clipboard is not deleted.

There are various types of information. For example, in addition to character strings and images,warp points and search conditions can be moved and/or copied via cut and paste operations in COSMOS.Which information that can be copied on to the clipboard or which information that can be pasted dependson the type of currently active window. Please refer to the manual for each window.

5.29 Words: Clipboard

ExplainAn area in the memory where information is temporarily stored for Cut and Paste (Section 6.7)

operations.

Glossary of GLOBALBASE Terms

6.1 Words: GLOBALBASE

ExplainA generic term for technologies and software for linking geographical information throughout the

world using distributed technologies ( P2P networks etc.) to create a seamless virtual space, as wellas initiatives to create such data. Please refer to (http://www.globalbase.org/). This project originallybegan in 1999as a project about archiving old maps in the International Research Center for JapaneseStudies (http://www.nichibun.ac.jp/).

Recently, similar technologies such as Google Maps, Google Earth and various other Earth Browsersare appearing. They are similar to GLOBALBASE in the sense that it is possible to display the entireEarth and place various search information there. GLOBALBASE is different from those initiatives inseveral aspects, however. First of all, one major difference is that other architectures prepare one singlecoordinate system that is used as the basis, and embed all other data in that coordinate system.

6.2 Words: GLOBALBASE PROJECT

ExplainGLOBALBASE (Section 6.1) Project

6.3 Words: GLOBALBASE Architecture

ExplainA network system based on P2P and distributed technologies developed in GLOBALBASE (Section

6.1) .

6.4 Words: Coordinate System

ExplainA specification of a particular space of finite size in GLOBALBASE. In such a space, a position can be

identified via coordinate values. It is possible to place various data, including images, in such a space. Acoordinate system is expressed as files with the extension crd on a GLOBALBASE server and publishedcoordinate systems are given URLs, through which they can be referenced.

6.5 Words: Reference System

ExplainA reference system is a coordinate system (Section 6.4) that is used as reference when mapping from

one coordinate system to another or overlapping maps. It is also referred to as public coordinate system,

47

world geodetic system etc. Note that images etc. are not allowed to be placed in the reference coordinatesystem.

6.6 Words: Mapping

ExplainData that acts as a link between two coordinate systems (Section 6.4) or between a coordinate system

and images pasted on it. It holds information about coordinate transformation such as where in thecurrent coordinate system another system is fixed.

6.7 Words: Matrix

ExplainData format used for distributing huge image data at high speeds. Data represented as matrix entries

is arranged in patterns according to the resolution of individual images. Matrices are for instance usedto manage raster data and vector data. Matrices are not limited to 2-dimensionaldata; they can easilybe expanded to contain data with 3or more dimensions.

6.8 Words: Node (Matrix)
