Feel free to use any MassGIS datasets served through GeoServer except NavTeq roads (MassGIS isn’t allowed by license to
give out the whole dataset)
I’ve created a web page which has links to metadata pages.
http://lyceum.massgis.state.ma.us/wiki/doku.php?id=wms:layers
Or http://giswebservices.massgis.state.ma.us/geoserver/wms?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&version=1.1.1
I’m afraid we don’t have many datasets with links/height/time. Below is what I can think of.
Datasets with links:
The MEPA point datasets (e.g. massigs:DMARRIER.MEPA07_Q2) have an attribute “URL” with a link to a PDF
http://www.mass.gov/mgis/mepa.htm
Height: well, contours lines or bathymetry?
massgis:GISDATA.CONTOURS250K_ARC http://www.mass.gov/mgis/hp250k.htm
massgis:GISDATA.CONTOURS5K_ARC http://www.mass.gov/mgis/hp.htm (more detailed)
massgis:GISDATA.BATHYMGM_POLY http://www.mass.gov/mgis/bathymgm.htm
massgis:GISDATA.QRBATH_POLY http://www.mass.gov/mgis/qrbath.htm
Time:
There’s landuse over time, which you can get at by attributes in one dataset.
massgis:GISDATA.LANDUSE_POLY
attributes:
LU21_1971
21-category landuse code for 1971
LU21_1985
21-category landuse code for 1985
LU37_1985
37-category landuse code for 1985
LU21_1999
21-category landuse code for 1999
LU37_1999
37-category landuse code for 1999
Or there’s crime statistics by town over time, which are spread across different datasets (1981-2003)
e.g. massgis:EOPS.UCR_80_S_V, massgis:EOPS_UCR_81_S_V
