  disputed claim - Global Maritime Boundaries Database

The Global Maritime Boundaries Database (GMBD) CD-ROM brings together the claims, limits and boundaries of the world with detailed attribution and documentation so they can be queried and viewed using GIS software. Included in the GMBD are: territorial seas; contiguous, joint development, fishing, and economic zones; potential claim median line solutions, disputed areas, boundary status; and much more. It will be your standard reference for quick access to vital, specific boundary information. General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems had created an interactive CD-ROM that makes these global maritime boundaries data commercially available. General Dynamics started building and maintaining a global environmental GIS in the 1980s to address the research needs of its clients. Until now, graphical portrayal of the claims or agreed boundaries has not been readily available to those involved in marine activities. Third party publishers of claims and boundaries data do not include graphics, portray only one boundary per graphic, or limit their graphics to only the agreed boundaries. The database is key reference tool for manual or automated analyses and can be applied to a vast array of specialty areas including defense, hydrographic surveying, offshore oil and gas exploration, fisheries, telecommunications, marine minerals/mining, defense, salvage, shipping, construction, pollution, marine scientific research, marine archaeology, recreation, ocean law, academia, and journalism.
