In the Beginning• GIS was independent• The GIS analyst or manager
was typically a one-person shop
• He/she created the data, analyzed the data, and printed the maps
![Page 3: The Geo-Web](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816371550346895dd44ef7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Along Came the Internet
3
• The proliferation of networks and the Internet caused a chain-reaction– GIS data was easy to
share– Increasingly larger
datasets were shared– GIS data was stored (self-
sharing) on the network
![Page 4: The Geo-Web](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816371550346895dd44ef7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Old Habits are Hard to Break
4
• Centralized GIS on the network– Clearinghouses– One-stop-shops
• Someone was in charge
![Page 5: The Geo-Web](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816371550346895dd44ef7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
But the One-Stop-Shop Broke
• What now?• Re-invent the one-stop-shop
– There are now more than 100,000 GIS clearinghouses
– Each state, each large agency, each large company
– Why so many one-stops?• Data incompatibilities• Standards• Control issues

Control Fallacies• Protect trade secrets• Data security• Intellectual property

Prove It!• IBM• Boeing• What do these two examples have in
common?– Mass-collaboration– Open structure– De-centralized organization(for more, read “Wikinomics”)

The Web 2.0• The Next Generation
– All about mass collaboration– Mash-ups– Synergy– Distributed, de-centralized systems(for more, read “The Starfish and the Spider”)

Collaboration is New?• Traditional collaborations were:
– A selected team of colleagues– Hierarchical in structure– Breadth of knowledge relatively narrow
• Mass collaboration is:– An open set of contributors– De-centralized in structure– Breadth of knowledge can be extremely
broad9

Web 3.0• Semantic web
– coined by Tim Berners-Lee, the man who invented the (first) World Wide Web.
– Machines-readable Web pages– Where search engines and software agents
can better troll the Net and find what we're looking for.
– Turns the Web into one big database

A Grand Experiment• Can Web 2.0 and 3.0 concepts be
applied to GIS and spatial analysis… spatial problems?
• Can the GeoWeb be built and leveraged to provide real-time decision support?
• What is the role of GIS in the semantic web?
![Page 12: The Geo-Web](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816371550346895dd44ef7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Role of GIS• Collect spatial data• Prepare maps and models• Perform spatial analyses to discover trends,
spatial patterns, and relationships

The Role of GIS (cont’d)• Use ArcGIS Server and web services
to make all these geo-spatial data available to everyone
• Help build the Geo-Web

Fulfilling our Role• ArcGIS Server, web services
![Page 15: The Geo-Web](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816371550346895dd44ef7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
ArcGIS Server
![Page 16: The Geo-Web](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816371550346895dd44ef7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ArcGIS Server: Architecture
• Requirements:– Network connectivity– 64-bit Windows server OS– ArcGIS desktop– ArcGIS server
![Page 17: The Geo-Web](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816371550346895dd44ef7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
ArcGIS Server requires…
• Server– Sufficient hard drive space– Consider number of expected hits
when selecting CPU and cache
![Page 18: The Geo-Web](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816371550346895dd44ef7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
ArcGIS Server is…• Scaleable• Flexible (variety of SDK’s [e.g.,
Flex and HTML5])• Easy for clients to use (maybe
easier)
![Page 19: The Geo-Web](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816371550346895dd44ef7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
ArcGIS Server can deliver…• Image services
• Geodata services• Map services
– (ArcMap documents)• Geocoding services• Indexing and Search services• WMS Services• KML Services
![Page 20: The Geo-Web](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816371550346895dd44ef7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Using a Mash-up of Services…
• ArcGIS Server can deliver web applications
![Page 21: The Geo-Web](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816371550346895dd44ef7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Image ServicesBest Practices
• Serve either a single image file (e.g., GeoTIFF)
• Raster mosaic dataset w/i fGDB
![Page 22: The Geo-Web](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816371550346895dd44ef7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Raster Mosaic Datasets• The best solution to serve raster
data– Recall, SDE is not a good solution
• Performance– Response– Cache size– Developing a map service from these
data
![Page 23: The Geo-Web](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816371550346895dd44ef7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Process of creating an ArcGIS Web Application
• Author a map– Using ArcMap
• Create your project’s ArcGIS Server Map Service
• Create a Web application
![Page 24: The Geo-Web](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816371550346895dd44ef7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
In IT4GIS…• Our exercise will give you
experience with:– Image services– Map services– Web applications

Web 2.0 and 3.0 Revisited
• It should be clear how the GeoWeb fits and supports the concept of Web 2.0
• How does it support the semantic web? (Web 3.0)– Two minute write!
![Page 26: The Geo-Web](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816371550346895dd44ef7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Key Concepts• GIS is everywhere• The Internet is a great way to deliver
GIS• Today –and in the future- web enabled
GIS will be increasingly important• Students need to know the
fundamentals of serving GIS data and services on the web and the practical application of this technology
