Friends: Scientists and scholars who publish research papers in refereed journals and who submit research proposals to national and international donor agencies find commercial products such as EndNote, ProCite and Research Manager (all three of them sold by Thomson Group which also publishes Web of Science and Current Contents) very useful. I do not know of any open source product which can perform the same functions. Best wishes. Subbiah Arunachalam

"NASA World Wind" - Innovative, Interesting & very useful for people interested in GIS / Geographical Information
by Samdarshi Pali 11 Apr '05

11 Apr '05

Recently NASA has released "World Wind 1.3" as open source software. World Wind lets you zoom from satellite altitude into any place on Earth. Leveraging Landsat satellite imagery and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data, World Wind lets you experience Earth terrain in visually rich 3D, just as if you were really there. As of now US is well covered with up to one meter resolution, INDIA and many other parts of world have a resolution of 15 meters (its better than having nothing). For US we may even see our cars but for India only up to the nearby village, river and mountain. This is an innovative, really interesting and very useful software for everyone interested in GIS / Geographical information. Broadband connection is recommended to download, as the software is a big 171MB size file. This is freely downloadable from NASA site: http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/ http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/ Best wishes Samdarshi Pali Reliance Engineering Associates Pvt Ltd 4W21 - G Block, First Floor Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge City Koper Khairane, Navi Mumbai 400 709 Tel # Direct +91-22 - 303 85407
