1 Innovation The Push and Pull at ESRI September 2004 Kevin Daugherty Cadastral/Land Records Industry Solutions Manager

2 The Push and The Pull The Push is the information technology that drives research and development at ESRI. The Pull is the moving of our GIS technology users to new levels.

3 The Driving Forces of Innovation User driven we listen Technology driven we follow Competition driven we compete Experience drive we work on projects

4 Users Features and functionality Specific data or datum support Integration Applications Usability

5 Technology New platforms workstations New processors RISC; 64-bit New Operating Systems Unix; OS/2; Linux; Windows to more Windows New Databases and database features SQL Server; Access; DB2; Informix; Oracle and Oracle Spatial New Data Models industry templates

6 More Technology New programming languages Visual Basic; C++; Java;.Net; Python New hardware configurations minicomputers and terminals> servers and workstations> servers and desktops> servers and fat clients> servers and thin client> application servers

7 More Technology The Web http, html, SOAP, UDDI; Web Application Servers (IIS, WebSphere, WebLogic,, Apache) Mobile devices GPS data collectors; PDAs; ; mobile phones; AVL units Integration DDE; DLL; API Standards ISO, OGC, etc.

8 Competition Features and Functions Platforms supported Interoperability Performance Licensing

9 Innovation In GIS Will Improve Applications Intelligent GIS Web Services GIS Services Networks GIS Portals Distributed GIS Server Embedded Desktop Mobile Component Software New GIS Functionality Geoprocessing Models Global Visualization Cartography & Labeling Image Integration Real Time Mobile GIS/LBS Interoperability

10 Innovation in the GIS Framework Managing Datasets, Workflows In a Common Environment Encapsulating Five Basic Elements GIS Software Maps & Globes Models Data Models Geodata Metadata Abstracting Geographic Knowledge

11 Innovation Means Supporting All Spatial Data Types GIS 107 Data Topology Vectors Dimensions Surveys In Relational Tables Networks Images 27 Main St. CAD Drawings ABC Annotation 3D Objects Addresses Terrain Attributes With Rules That Define Relationships and Behavior

12 Intelligent Features Are Maintained Using Data Models... Data Models Street Parcel Topology Vectors Networks Generic Data Sets Schema Rules Relationships Definitions Behavior Smith User Features Building Name... Creating More Usable Information

13 Thematic Data Models Extend Generic Data Models Implementation Templates Petroleum Pipeline Marine Administrative Boundaries Hydrology Water/Wastewater Land Parcels Utilities Transportation Environmental Facilities Biodiversity Forestry Defense Base Map Addresses Geology... Built In Collaboration With User Community... Encapsulating Expert Knowledge... Jump Starting Projects

14 Geodatabase Manages Change Long Transactions T1 History T2 T3 Base Changes Multi User Editing... With Versioning

15 Geodatabases Manage Change Transaction Models Project begins Two versions Edits merged Default version Edit versions add new features Multi-user user editing Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Historical Archive Deleted Unchanged Inserted

16 Geodatabase Manages Distributed Data Disconnected Editing Multiple Replication National Editor State Local... Using a Multi-State Database

17 Orthophotos Multispectral Binary Documents Elevation Grids The Geodatabase Provides The Base For an Image Information System A Complete System for Raster Data View Process Update Load Analyze Extract Classify Manage Serve Image Catalog... For Large Multi-User Environments Very Fast Scalable Continuous Multi-User Image Catalogs

18 Geodatabase Encapsulates Models Best Practices and Applications... Sharing Geographic Knowledge

19 Geodatabase Innovation Manages Maps Extended Cartographic Editing Tools Maps Carto Rules Database Cartography Carto Layers GIS Layers 1:24,000 1:100,000 1:250,000 Solves the Problems of Map Series Generalization Multi Representation A New Approach for Production Cartography

20 Geodatabase Manages Metadata Documenting and Describing Workflow Models Data Models Maps (Services) Data Sets... Geographic Knowledge

21 Innovation In Approach It s More Than Just Data And Tools. DBMS Approach A B C ArcGIS Knowledge Approach Focus on Spatial Data Types Its About Abstracting and Serving Geographic Knowledge... Focus Is On Managing Geographic Knowledge

22 Interoperability is Important But there are many standards... XML/SOAP GIS Server Conversion DBMS Integration Direct Read (API)... So focus on simple and practical approaches that work Web Services

23 Two Design Options Web Services Centric DBMS Centric Application Server (Enterprise Integrity) ERP CRM GIS SQL Spatial Types and Functions Enterprise Systems GIS Services Add Spatial Servers

24 Technology Transforms GIS Tools & Data Client /Server Systems Distributed Networks Professional Productivity Shared Services Information Management... Web Services Provide A New Platform

25 Web Services Provide GIS Portal A System of Open and Interoperable Protocols... XML, SOAP & UDDI Services Metadata Web Services Users Many Clients Many Servers Meta Data Portal Loosely Coupled Network... Network Centric

26 Web Services Provide A New Architecture For GIS Internet Map Services GIS Portal Standard Map Products GIS Services Custom Products... They Dynamically Integrate Many Distributed Services

27 Portal Configuration Distributed Data and Services Federated Model National, State, Local, & Private Users Search Search Catalog Catalog and and Find Find Connect Connect and and Use Use Download Download and and use use GIS Portal Publish GIS data and services Document in catalog GIS Web Services Portals GIS Data FTP GIS Data Data Servers GIS Data

28 Framework Data Rail Roads Air Transportation Transit Elevation Waterways Cadastral Geospatial One-Stop Base Standard Geodetic Control Hydrography Governmental Units Orthoimagery

29 Innovation Leads Government

30 E-Government Is A Community As Part of the Community coordinated, collaborative decision making, with Citizen access.
