Screenshot of HCM World Map on the Web showing the Identify button function Screenshot of HCM World Map on the Web http://healthcybermap.semanticweb.org/world_map/ webcite. Note the depressed (selected) Identify button in the toolbar on the left and the
pop-up message box displaying additional information on Canada after the latter was
clicked. Any other information, e.g., health related, could have been displayed instead
or additionally depending on what is available in the underlying table in ArcView
from which these attributes are "pulled" and associated with the hypermaps when they
are generated by WebView. Other buttons on the toolbar allow zooming in and out and
panning the map, and activating the HotLink function (instead of Identify), so that
clicking a country retrieves the bibliographic cards of resources associated with
it in a separate pop-up window. Unlike the dynamic, always up-to-date information
(database queries) associated with the HotLink button, information associated with
the Identify button is static (exported with the maps from ArcView and detached from
the latter) and can be only updated (if needed) by regenerating the maps using WebView.
