Introduction As more and more information becomes available in increasing detail, it is evident that traditional data management and distribution techniques fail to provide an environment in which: a) large organizations can deliver tailored views of their databases to clients; and b) small organizations can afford to engage in data analysis efforts that thrive under real-world conditions, such as database updates, personnel turnover, and cross-agency collaboration. The Intelligent Middleware project prototypes and tests an approach for sharing data within a metropolitan area in a manner that is likely to be more effective, scalable, and sustainable than the traditional ‘data center’ approach. These tools and methods provide a mechanism for accumulating local
knowledge about neighborhood-scale land use, ownership, and market potential
and for using that knowledge to re-interpret administrative datasets
and develop customized analyses of neighborhood conditions and market
potential.
