HISTORY OF GIS AND ESRIFirst Developed by Dr. Roger Tomlinson in Canada 1960 (CGIS – Canadian geographic system)

The system was designed to inventory land use and assist in the management of natural resources

Environmental Systems Research Institute was founded in 1969 .

PRIOR TO 2001

ARC/INFO- 1970’s a command line software product

ArcView a desktop developed in the 1990’s

In the summer of 2001-ESRIR introduced ArcGIS

ArcMap and ArcCatalog

ArcGIS 10.1 debuts, enabling users to deliver any GIS resource as a web service, putting geographic information in the hands of more people

2012 ArcGIS Online is introduced as an online cloud-based mapping system for organizations that offers collaborative tools for cataloging, visualizing, and sharing geospatial information.

.

WHAT IS GIS ?

• A geographic information system

(GIS)designed to manage and analyze

spatial data where spatial data can

be tied to places or geographic

coordinates.

The five components of a computer system

include:

1)hardware, 2)software, 3)data, 4)people, &

5) work flow procedure

WHAT IS GIS FOR? WHAT APPLICATIONS DOES

IT HAVE?A GIS is designed to

• capture

• store

• analyze

• manage

• and present

all types of geographical

data

Agriculture

Forestry

Mining

Petroleum

Pipeline

Environment and

Conservation

Military Defense

Fire/Emergency Medical

Services/Disaster

Health

Transportation

Bossiness an marketing

WHAT IS ARCGIS ONLINE ?

ArcGIS Online is a cloud-

based mapping system for

organizations that offers

collaboration tools for

cataloging, visualizing, and

sharing geospatial

information.

“Make maps by adding your

own data, or create mash-ups

with maps published by

others”

WHO RUNS THE SITE?

ESRI created and manages the site as it

stands today.

ESRI was founded as Environmental

Systems Research Institute in 1969 by

Jack and Laura Dangermond.

The headquartered is in Redlands,

California.

3 CONCEPTS FOR ARCGIS ONLINE

GIS + Crowd sourcing + Cloud Computing

CROWDSOURCING

In ArcGIS Online features from a feature service layer can be edited by anyone who has access to the map. This works well for crowdsourcing maps and applications where users want feedback from many people and want everyone to see all the edits.

For example: if we want to collect the graffiti around the USA – crowdsourcing is the only solution and ArcGIS Online provides a really nice service for that purpose.

“Crowdsourcing is the practice of obtaining needed services, ideas, or content

by soliciting contributions from a large group of people, and especially from an

online community.” www.dictionary.com

CLOUD COMPUTING or just THE CLOUD

Well-known examples:

• Amazon Web Services

(Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3)

• Google docs

• DropBox

• ICloud

The cloud is just a metaphor for the Internet.

Cloud computing means storing and

accessing data and programs over the

Internet instead of your computer's hard drive

THE ASPECTS OF ARCGIS ONLINE

Website

Maps– informative, customizable layers

Tools - includes basic GIS capabilities (drawing, rendering, symbolizing, etc…)

APPS – software applications for mobile devices

Data API (application programming interface) –allows users to create your own applications. If you know java script

DATA OFFERED DIRECTLY FROM ARCGIS ONLINE

SEARCH FUNCTIONArcGIS Online

• Basemaps

• Default maps provided by Esri

• Government agencies

• Landsat (not free unless for organizational accounts)

• Privately owned companies

• NaturalVue Satellite Imagery

• Users (crowd sourcing)

• Note that this isn’t always completely reliable due to lack

of liability and credibility

• Our team or organization

• ArcGIS Online gives all the possibilities for team work

BASEMAPS

ArcGIS Online

basemaps are the

reliable map source

which built with content

contributed by

organizations around

the world through the

Community Maps

Program.

ARCGIS WORLD IMAGERY WITH LABELS - THE

MOST POPULAR BASEMAP

• Provides natural color imagery

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER IMAGERIES ?

LANDSAT 8

The Landsat program is the longest running enterprise for acquisition of

satellite imagery of Earth.

• 1972 the Earth Resources Technology Satellite was launched.

• 02. 01.2013 the most recent, Landsat 8, was launched.

• ArcGIS Online contains Landsat data under the search function.

• Resolution includes 30m for true color and 15m for black and white

• Provides some of the most high resolution data and imagery

for an extra cost.

LANDSAT 8 WITHIN ARCGIS ONLINE

Landsat 8 PanSharpened

Landsat 8 Views

Landsat 8 Panchromatic

LANDSAT 8 VIEWS

Basic characteristics: 30m Multispectral 8 band scenes with visual renderings and

indices. Updated daily. ArcGIS Online subscription required.

NATURALVUE SATELLITE IMAGERY - PROVIDES A

USEFUL AND ATTRACTIVE MAP

This map presents NaturalVue 15m satellite

imagery of the world. NaturalVue is a natural

color worldwide seamless mosaic from over

8,600 Landsat-7 multispectral images. This

single consistent global dataset has a spatial

resolution of 0.5 arcseconds (~15 meters)

and a positional accuracy of better than 50

meters RMSE.

Naturalvue has better resolution than Landsat 8 Views

(15m vs 30m)

• Configure the app to fit your organization’s workflow

FINAL MAP OF TREES INVENTORY

CASE STUDY 2

• Landscape architect

ure projects around

the country.

• Pop­up

would give detailed

information about

the winners.

CASE STUDY 3

Goals:

• make a map which contains info about upcoming

conferences

• Embed all 3 case studies into one website

ORGANIZATIONAL ACCOUNT PROVIDES A

CONVENIENT TOOL FOR A TEAMWORK

SHARING AND EMBEDDING MAPS

1.Sharing 2. Embedding

CONFERENCES AROUND THE WORLD

ACCESSIBILITY OF DATA AND CITING

1. We have full control and rights only on our own created

data (our organization).

2. We can’t edit and pull out the data which is not ours.

The only thing we can do – work with it within ArcGIS

Online.

3. Fancy stuff (like Landsat 8) requires an organizational

account and costs money.

4. All maps in ArcGIS online are being sited automatically

CONCLUSION

• ArcGIS Online based on 3 conceptions: gis + crowdsourcing +

cloud computing

• ArcGIS Online includes: data source (imageries, vector

maps), tools, apps, API for developers

• Can be embedded into a website easily

• Makes a teamwork more affective and easy

• It is a very useful and handy tool for natural resources, crop,

wildlife, landscape scientists and managers

• ArcGIS Online is a brand new website and it is growing very

fast
