Web GIS ConceptWeb GIS is any GIS that uses Web technologies

The simplest architecture of web GIS should have at least a web application server and a client (2-tier)

Why web GIS?

• Global reach

• Large number of users

• Low cost per user

• Better cross-platform capabilities

• Easy to use

• Easy to maintain

• Diverse applications

• Use of cloud computing technology


6/57

Some of the Strengths of Web GIS

• Mapping and query – the most commonly used function

- Spatial identity query: What is located there?- Attribute query: Where are located particular objects?

• Collection of geospatial information (Wikimapia, OpenStreetMap, official datacollection, etc.)

• Dissemination of geospatial information (USGS, EU INSPIRE, ArcGIS.com, etc.)- Encourages collaboration- Leverages existing resources rather than duplicating efforts to re-create them- Leads to reduced costs and increased efficiency

• Geospatial analysis- Measuring distances and areas- Finding optimal driving path- Finding an address, etc.


7/57

Uses

• Placement of advertising based on Web mapping used by Google, Microsoft, etc.

• ESRI Business Analyst Online combines GIS technology with demographic,consumer spending and many other type of business data to deliver businessfunctionality.

• Strategic planning, marketing, customer service and daily operations.- Store location presented in the website- Water supply company checking complains

- Fedex tracking its vehicles• Powerful tool for e-government

- Increase public awareness- Obtain information from public

• Essential component of daily life- “Where” is one of the proverbial 5 Ws and 1 H – who, hat, when, WHERE, why and h

Web GIS is a new business model

Examples of Applications

• USGS delivers near-real-time information on natural disasters

• The National Weather Service publishes on real-time weather conditions andforecasts

• CDC provides information on infectious disease outbreaks, environmental hazards,chronic health conditions, etc.

• The Federal Em ergency Management Agency (FEMA) creates and maintains floodmaps to let individuals and insurance companies evaluate risks

• EPA delivers information on air and water quality

• Local governments use parcel boundary data to give information on real propertyownership, planning and zoning

• The US Census Bureau uses GIS to gather, process and disseminate statisticalinformation about USA.

An online repository of GIS maps, apps, and tools

Using ArcGIS Online you can• Make your own maps

• Discover and use maps and apps

• Find and use other resources, like tools and templates

• Save, organize and share your work

• Create and join online communities

What is a service?

Services

Resourcesand data

Clients

HTTP

A GIS resource (a map, locator, image, etc.) that is located on an server site and is made available toclient applications.


20/57

Feature service

Supports

• vector feature querying,• visualization,• editing.

Most appropriate for visualizing dataon top of base maps.

In web apps, hosted feature layers aredrawn by the browser and supportinteractive highlighting, queries, andpop-ups.


21/57

Tiled map service

Supports fast map visualization usinga collection of pre-drawn map images,

or tiles. These tiles are created andstored on the server after you uploadyour data.

Are appropriate for base maps thatgive your maps geographic context.


22/57

Tile cache

• Makes map and image services runfaster.

• The server draws the entire map atseveral different scales and storescopies of the map images (it's muchquicker for the server to return acached image than to draw the map).

• The amount of detail in the imagedoesn't noticeably affect how quicklythe server can distribute the copy.


23/57

What is a web map?

Operational layer

Basemap layer

An ArcGIS web map is an interactive display of geographic information that you can use to tellstories and answer questions. Usually contains a basemap; layers; an extent; a legend; andnavigation tools such as zoom, pan, place finders, and bookmarks.

• Author web maps

• Gather media (photos, videos, documents)

• Create groups


34/57

Choose a template

• Several web app templates

• Configurable

• Open source

• Responsive


35/57

Publish and Refine

• Verify goals met

• Add / delete functions as necessary

• Proofread

• Iterate


36/57

Important map and layer properties

• Search

• Bookmarks

• Time

• Enable / disable editing

• Labels

• Refresh interval

What you set in the map makes it to the app!


37/57

Where to publish?

• ArcGIS Online- Highly scalable, cloud environment- No web server required- Apps update when portal updates

• On premise- IT legwork required- Web server required- Must update apps manually
