Screen displays using WebSuMS to access the SuMS database. A, The WebSuMS search page (http://stp.wustl.edu/sums/sums.cgi) can be used to identify specification files in the SuMS database that meet whatever search criteria are entered by the user. This can be a partial or complete name of a particular volume or surface specification file (top rows) or a particular case from the currently selected species (macaque in this example) plus the option of adding criteria such as key words in the comment section of any data file or in the data fields of paint files, border files, and cell files contained in SuMS. B, The current listing of surface-based atlas specification files obtained by selecting the “View Atlases” menu button. C, The specification file obtained by selecting one of the macaque atlases (LEWIS_VE_ON_ATLAS.spec). The entire set of files can be downloaded as a group, then viewed in Caret after being uncompressed. For WebSuMS, the user interfaces with the SuMS Web Server via HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) using standard HTML forms and scripts based on CGI (Common Gateway Interface). For the SuMS Client, Remote Method Invocation (developed by Sun Microsystems) is used as the interface with a JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) driver. One Java application or applet (the SuMS client in this context) can call the methods of another Java application (the SuMS server) running on a different host machine.
