Full SEMMS

SEMMS - The Survey Engineering Monumentation Management System (SEMMS) was designed and developed for the archival, retrieval, and cataloging of survey monumentation. The Waterways Experiment Station (WES) functioned as a central coordination point for the development of this capability, with additional direction and assistance provided by members of the Tri-Service community. SEMMS provides capabilities for importing TEC-compressed NGS data, and monument data in ASCII, Excel, Dbase, and Access formats. Search capabilities include searching by criteria, radius, or bounding rectangle. Standardized Corps of Engineers geodetic conversions in both horizontal and vertical are provided by integral Corpscon source code within SEMMS. These capabilities provide flexibility for searching for monuments in one coordinate system and then generating output results in a specified second coordinate system or datum. SEMMS export capabilities include ASCII output and database export of selected monuments to Access. Fieldbook tracking capabilities are provided for maintaining fieldbook inventories.

 

SEMMS Lite

SEMMS Lite - This searching and viewing program provides a read-only window into the SEMMS monumentation database. It is intended for use in a networked environment where monumentation database is located on a central server and different client workstations access the database using either SEMMS, for inputting monumentation and making modifications, or SEMMS Lite for simply searching and viewing database records. SEMMs Lite provides all of the search and export capabilities of SEMMS but does not provide any import, manual input, or data record modification capabilities.

 

AE-SEMMS

AE SEMMS - This simple program provides a manual input, review, and modification capability for AE Contractors to provide electronic submittals of monumentation data in SEMMS format. In SEMMS, capabilities are provided for importing the submittal, reviewing it prior to merging it with the main monumentation database, making any necessary modifications to the submittal records, and merging electronic submittal data into the main database.
