The Object Modeling System
OMS is an integrated environmental modeling system developed by Agricultural Research Service of the department of Agriculture. USDA ARS defines OMS as “The OMS is a computer framework consisting of: a library of science, control, and database modules; a means to assemble the selected modules into a modeling package customized to the problem, data constraints, and scale of application; an automatic generation of a friendly user interface; and creation of a compiled, ready-to-run, version of the package. The framework is supported by utility modules such as data dictionary, data retrieval, GIS, graphical visualization, and statistical analysis. The framework employs the latest technology for all its components. The science modules are also quickly updated or replaced as new knowledge and data become available. The OMS will be supported from a central server for use by all ARS scientists, NRCS specialists, USGS, and other collaborators.”
