 ICE-D is hosted in a MySQL server, and there are free desktop applications that one can download from the internet and set up to connect with the actual database itself. This section may eventually get archived, but for now, set up directions are linked below. ICE-D is hosted in a MySQL server, and there are free desktop applications that one can download from the internet and set up to connect with the actual database itself.

-At the moment, we are still working on how to figure this out, but we believe the best way to do this might be to set up a Web Feature Service (WFS) directly on the ICE-D webpage. The WFS would create one large file (probably something in a shapefile format or a geojson format) that can be essentially copied over into your GIS application. The link would be live, and continuously updated as the database updates so you would once again circumvent the need to download and store static copies of whatever subset you want to extract from the database. 
  
-For now, please see this example of what a WFS looks like on a webpage and how to open the {{ :applications:connect_through_wfs_in_qgis.pdf |WFS in QGIS here}}. +We have successfully set up a Web Feature Service for ICE-D Data! Briefly, this means that whenever there are updates to the data in ICE-D (e.g., users add new data to ICE-D), the WFS also gets updated and so as long as you have an internet connection, you will be viewing the latest and most up-to-date account of samples in ICE-D in your own personal desktop application!

-I am currently showing examples using QGIS but I know you can do it in ArcGIS as well. QGIS is a FREE alternative to ArcGIS that has a lot of the same functionality.+In the instructions page linked above, I am only showing examples using QGIS (free alternative with much of the same functionality) but WFS's are also functional in ArcGIS is you have a license for ArcGIS.
