CGMA is generously supported by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Web Support Services MAGIS is delivered to the world using the Apache Web Server via an Apple XServe running Mac OS X Server. Development Environment The MAGIS system was implemented using MapServer, PHP, and MySQL open source technologies. Data One kilometer elevation data, downloaded from the United States Geological Survey EROS Data Center, were processed for use in MAGIS using the open source Geographic Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS). Modern Political Districts, National Capitals, and Modern Major Cities vector data layers were generated using ArcGIS™ and the "Countries 2004" and "Cities" data from the ArcGIS™, ESRI® Data & Maps Media Kit "World, Europe, Canada, and Mexico" CD. All other vector data layers were manually created using ArcGIS™. Ninety meter elevation data and vector water body data obtained by NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) were purchased on DVD from the United States Geological Survey and processed using ArcGIS™.
