[29] The most important result of the "Electronic Earth'' project is the fact that for the first time we could turn from GIS to a multi-user distributed geographical information analytical environment.
[30] The most significant results for users are the following:
(1) the integral information field was developed for carrying out research and solution of tasks;
(2) the technology of complex analysis was elaborated, available for an outsider in the field of IT.
[31] Significance of the project results is confirmed by the fact that remote access, search, exchange and integration of the interdisciplinary distributed resources of the Earth sciences and their complex analysis have become the basis of such projects and the Electronic Geophysical Year (eGY) and the global system of Earth monitoring (GEOSS) etc.
[32] To date the main directions of the future work on the project are: development of a universal storage of geodata, development of analytical methods of geodata processing in GRID environment and encouraging scientists to active application of the system "Electronic Earth''.
