NITF for ArcGIS 9.3.1
July 21, 2010 11 Comments
Now you might be asking, why would some obscure ESRI extension supporting 9.3.1 be news? Well if you work with NITF data, it is important to you. Plus you are probably on a government computer and ArcGIS 10 is a distant dream.
Anyway NITF for ArcGIS now support 9.3.1 so if you are rolling with ArcGIS 9.3.1, you can now work with NITF again. Hold the line guys!

On some government systems 9.3.1 is a distant dream! When I worked in that field I remember it taking 6-8 months before a service pack could get approved. Ahh, good times.
He speaks the truth!
The certification process seems a tad longer here. About over a year! Ugh!
This blog, while once original and unique has now just become a pseudo ESRI news service that comments on what ESRI does. Is there anything else you can write about than ESRI ?!?
And no, I’m not an ESRI hater – quite the opposite. I just don’t get the reason to continually regurgitate ESRI news.

Jack my man, this blog is me posting what I want to post. It isn’t a news blog or gis news aggregator.
Somehow Bing Maps showing Facebook junk doesn’t interest me, but NITF does.
Yea but that bing maps imagery rules!
Nit-iff. Now in Nine-Three-One. Oh, c’mon…really?
Nit-iff is the big boy’s industrial-strength image format. Baked into every single system and process that’s even remotely connected to a geo-whatever inside the military-industrial complex.
The fact that it’s now available is stunning…not because it’s such an advance or revelatory improvement, but because it took so farkin’ long to get this simple, basic, fundamental thing done.
Amazing a company can have such dominant market share and treat its customer base with such disdain. And it’s not like they developed a good case of ‘holier than thou’ as they grew, it’s always been this way. Really.
ArcGIS has supported NITF for a couple of years. This is just an update for 9.3.1. Certification takes time.
So they’re just in time to start working on Ten. Maybe have that done when Twelve is launched?
It’s been available for 9.3.1 for a long time. The “new” part is that it is now free for all ArcGIS users.
An ArcGIS 10 version will be out soon… if I had to guess, long before the people who care get access to 10 en-masse
