Want to Publish Data in the WDC Catalog....on Linux?

Tux is down with HIS...are you?
The CUAHSI staff have received multiple inquiries lately regarding the use of HIS software on Linux. While the majority of our applications have been developed in and for a Windows environment, these are not the only tools in our toolbox! Our primary data access tool (HydroDesktop) is still dependent on Windows, but if you are looking to publish data in the WDC Catalog from a Linux machine, HydroServer Lite is available and waiting for you!

HydroServer Lite is a lightweight version of HydroServer written in PHP. It can be deployed on any web hosting service that supports PHP and MySQL and is fully compatible with all of the other components of HIS. An existing example of HydroServer Lite being put to use in the WDC Catalog is out of Brigham Young University's Gil Ecosystem and Global Change Ecology Lab. The details of this data source can be seen here on the HIS Central website.

As always, if you have any questions or would like assistance in publishing your data, please email me!
