1 Urban Planning Internet Geographic Information Systems Fall 2010 Instructor: Professor Huxhold (hux@uwm.edu) Lecturer: Melissa Mann (mmann@uwm.edu) Manager: Kurt Meingast (kurtm@uwm.edu) Schedule: Class: Monday, 5:30 6:45, SARUP 158 : Monday, 6:55 8:10, SARUP 158 Office Hours: By appointment Optional Textbook: Zhong-Ren Peng and Ming-Hsiang Tsou, Internet GIS: Distributed Geographic Information Services for the Internet and Wireless Networks, New York: John Wiley & Sons, March 2003, available at the Third Coast Design bookstore. Course Overview This course focuses on the emerging technology in geographic information systems (GIS): Internet GIS. Internet GIS is a network-centric GIS technology that uses the Internet and the World Wide Web as a primary means of providing access to the functionality (i.e., analysis tools, mapping capability) of GIS and to the spatial data and other data needed for various GIS applications. It provides users capability to work interactively with maps and conduct spatial analysis on the Web. There are two goals of the course. The first one is to offer you theoretic background so that you will have a better understanding of the concepts of Internet GIS, such as how Internet GIS works, the different architecture models, and the state of art of the Internet GIS technology. The second goal is to offer you hands-on experience to use Internet GIS programs so that you can gain necessary skills to work with Internet GIS programs. The course will start with an introduction to networking basics and the evolution of software architecture, specifically the client/server model. It will cover the basics of the Internet and the World Wide Web, as well as its communication protocol HTTP. Followed by an introduction to Internet GIS, and the different architecture models of the Internet GIS, from Web mapping to distributed geographic services. The course will also cover the most recent development in Internet GIS, the geography markup language (GML) and Map Mashups. 1

2 The course will provide hands-on training in web site design and the use of Internet GIS software. Specifically, we will cover the basic techniques in HTML, Mashups, ArcGIS Server, ArcGIS Explorer and ArcGIS Services. The final grade will consist of the following: 12% Assignments 3% Project Design Framework Presentation 35 % Midterm Exam 50 % Final Project and Presentation A A A B B B C C C D D D F = <60 Student Presentation One Project Design Framework Brief project introduction Include your project design framework 5-10 minutes (no longer than 10 minutes) PowerPoint optional Final Project Design an Internet GIS application in a professional Web site using the ArcGIS Server 10 Incorporate the concepts and techniques covered in the course Group projects are allowed, no more than 3 students in one group - will be graded at a higher standard than an individual project PowerPoint presentation is optional, your map application will be presented to the class A document/report must be turned in that includes a list of all the components included in your website (services, address locators, geoprocessing tools and network analysis tools), as well as screenshots of your website Your final will not be judged solely on how many components you were able to include. Components should be in line with your map objective. The grading of the final project depends on the functionality, originality, complexity, and the use-friendliness of the Internet GIS Web site, the quality of writing and presentation. 2
