Web Servers and Web Products

Riverside Technology, inc. (RTi) has designed both stand-alone and integrated web sites specifically to display data output from RTi software, including RTi's RiverTrak® and TSTool applications, the National Weather Service River Forecasting System (NWSRFS) software, and other software packages. The web sites primarily are data-driven and provide an interface for the user to access data products. Often the interface is a map, which allows the user to click on a particular location to view the data products specific for that location. The data products themselves vary depending on the system; common data products include plots, table data, and maps.

For web pages integrated with an existing web site for data display, RTi develops the web site to the client's requirements, incorporating the client's look-and-feel as well as web site standards. We also work with clients to create entirely new, stand-alone web sites that reflect the client's goals. Depending on client needs, a web site can be made either accessible only to the client's network or open to the World Wide Web.

Based on the web site requirements, the web server used, and the data available, the technologies we use in web site development include

• Active Server Pages (ASP) or PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP)
• JavaScript
• Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
• Internet Mapping
• Java Applets or Servlets
