Add ability to work cleanly with non-spatial data (doc, table, PDF, videos, etc.) #36

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
We have a need to disseminate data that doesn't exist as a GIS file. For 
example, a Cape Cod aquaculture publication does have a spatial component, but 
it doesn't lend itself to exist as a standalone shapefile. The way we deal with 
this type of data now is to create a shapefile that matches the extent as 
closely as possible and provide a "live" URL in the attribute table. We 
envision a tool somewhat similar to Google Earth's balloons that would be 
symbolized in some way to differentiate between reports, videos, pictures, etc. 
The balloon would have a link to the online resource in question. Please do 
some creative thinking about this task and propose some options.
