`
` The Microsoft TerraServer stores aerial and satellite images of the earth in
` a SQL Server Database served to the public via the Internet. It is the
` world's largest atlas, combining five terabytes of image data from the United
` States Geodetic Survey, Sovinformsputnik, and Encarta Virtual Globe.
` Internet browsers provide intuitive spatial and gazetteer interfaces to the
` data. The TerraServer is also an E-Commerce application. Users can buy
` the right to use the imagery using Microsoft Site Servers managed by the
` USGS and Aerial Images. This paper describes the TerraServer's design
` and implementation.
