The JMap Multimedia Extension gives JMap users the possibility to attach documents to graphical objects on a map. This is particularly important when professionals need to exchange photographs, sketches, permits, or other multimedia documents pertaining to an object that they can visualize on a map: a building, a pond, a segment of road. JMap becomes an entry point to their multimedia data warehouse.

The JMap Multimedia Extension has the following characteristics:

• Documents can be attached to an object or to an object attribute. When attached to an attribute, the document is accessible from any object whose attribute is matching the first object's attribute.

• Documents are listed in information reports about the object and can be opened directly on screen.
