<h2 id="capabilities">Capabilities</h2> <p>TMJava can be used to develop interactive maps for web sites, for intranet enquiry systems, for museum and visitor kiosks, and for standalone CD-ROM products. In addition to static datasets, TMJava can connect with databases which are being actively updated or with live data feeds. </p><p>TMJava has very strong legend and layer management capabilities, easily handling complex maps and large datasets, with incremental loading to deliver increasing levels of detail as one zooms in.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="applications">Applications</h2> <p><i>Time</i>Map's is used as the core technology to number of applications, including: </p> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Electronic_Cultural_Atlas_Initiative/Qy4Wm8KN">Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative</a> Clearinghouse Search</li></ul> <p>TMJava provides map-based spatial searching of the ECAI clearinghouse of cultural datasets and background geographic data.
