Web App Integration Framework Exploration

Team Included people from Hazards, National Map EA and CEGIS,

Information Office, Water, Biology, Geology

What is needed to improve the Application Integration Experience

• Users are creating web views, adding services, studying in that view, zooming in, etc., but there is no way to port that view out to use in other views except re-doing it manually, sometimes requires developers or just creating new viewers– Scientists would like an easy way to save that context and

open in ArcMap, Google Earth, Google Maps, other views• Users in catalogs are searching, adding services

manually one by one, but no easy way to one-click view in other views– Users of catalogs would like to open in something like The

National Map, then could setup the context, then save in KML or MXD

Web Application Integration Framework Summary

• TNM Hooks – Save Current View Context as KML or MXD Function– Extend current View In Widget to support opening

KML in Google Maps, Bing Maps, Specific OpenLayers• ScienceBase Hooks– Add View Service or Context in ArcMap, Google Earth,

The National Map Options– Support registering MXD, KML, Web Apps

• Coordinate with Other Viewers and catalogs if they want to use the new widgets

Decided out of scope

• For FY11, not recommending making Functions used in context easily to save and copy down– We do not believe technology direction is clear and ready

to do it, but we recommend considering sharing/uploading function ZIPs/WARs, tagging as Product Readiness, and which APIs it supports

• Configuration-based Viewers for all APIs – felt not needed yet if viewers can just open KML files
