This abstract explains how earlier maps and catalogues of Venusian landforms can be brought into a shared database. The unified index lets users compare data from different researchers and explore them through an accessible map. Source

V-GIS brings maps and catalogues of Venusian surface features into a geographic information system. Comparing its different layers helps researchers understand the surface and plan observations for future spacecraft missions. Source

The researchers convert earlier catalogues of Venusian landforms into compatible map layers that can be overlaid and compared. This abstract presents the first year of development, including the cataloguing of spider-like and star-shaped volcanic-tectonic features. The data can support new research and spacecraft mission planning. Source
