HISTORY OF GIS AND ESRI First Developed by Dr. Roger Tomlinson in Canada 1960 (CGIS Canadian geographic system) The system was designed to inventory land use and assist in the management of natural resources Environmental Systems Research Institute was founded in 1969. PRIOR TO 2001 ARC/INFO- 1970 s a command line software product ArcView a desktop developed in the 1990 s In the summer of 2001-ESRIR introduced ArcGIS ArcMap and ArcCatalog ArcGIS 10.1 debuts, enabling users to deliver any GIS resource as a web service, putting geographic information in the hands of more people 2012 ArcGIS Online is introduced as an online cloud-based mapping system for organizations that offers collaborative tools for cataloging, visualizing, and sharing geospatial information..
WHAT IS GIS? A geographic information system (GIS)designed to manage and analyze spatial data where spatial data can be tied to places or geographic coordinates. The five components of a computer system include: 1)hardware, 2)software, 3)data, 4)people, & 5) work flow procedure
WHAT IS GIS FOR? A GIS is designed to capture store analyze manage and present all types of geographical data WHAT APPLICATIONS DOES IT HAVE? Agriculture Forestry Mining Petroleum Pipeline Environment and Conservation Military Defense Fire/Emergency Medical Services/Disaster Health Transportation Bossiness an marketing
WHAT IS ARCGIS ONLINE? ArcGIS Online is a cloudbased mapping system for organizations that offers collaboration tools for cataloging, visualizing, and sharing geospatial information. Make maps by adding your own data, or create mash-ups with maps published by others
WHO RUNS THE SITE? ESRI created and manages the site as it stands today. ESRI was founded as Environmental Systems Research Institute in 1969 by Jack and Laura Dangermond. The headquartered is in Redlands, California.

3 CONCEPTS FOR ARCGIS ONLINE GIS + Crowd sourcing + Cloud Computing
CROWDSOURCING Crowdsourcing is the practice of obtaining needed services, ideas, or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people, and especially from an online community. www.dictionary.com In ArcGIS Online features from a feature service layer can be edited by anyone who has access to the map. This works well for crowdsourcing maps and applications where users want feedback from many people and want everyone to see all the edits. For example: if we want to collect the graffiti around the USA crowdsourcing is the only solution and ArcGIS Online provides a really nice service for that purpose.

CLOUD COMPUTING or just THE CLOUD The cloud is just a metaphor for the Internet. Cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer's hard drive Well-known examples: Amazon Web Services (Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3) Google docs DropBox ICloud
THE ASPECTS OF ARCGIS ONLINE Website Maps informative, customizable layers Tools - includes basic GIS capabilities (drawing, rendering, symbolizing, etc ) APPS software applications for mobile devices Data API (application programming interface) allows users to create your own applications. If you know java script
DATA OFFERED DIRECTLY FROM ARCGIS ONLINE SEARCH FUNCTION ArcGIS Online Basemaps Default maps provided by Esri Government agencies Landsat (not free unless for organizational accounts) Privately owned companies NaturalVue Satellite Imagery Users (crowd sourcing) Note that this isn t always completely reliable due to lack of liability and credibility Our team or organization ArcGIS Online gives all the possibilities for team work
SEARCHING AND ADDING MAP LAYERS
OTHER SOURCES OF DATA TO BE DOWNLOADED Government owned imagery services USGS TNRIS U.S. Web Soil Survey Private companies Usually for purchase from sites like GeoLytics, GeoEye, and East View Cartographic NaturalVue Satellite Imagery FILE TYPES AVAILABLE FOR IMPORTING DRG DEM TXT CSV SHP PRJ and all that can be contained in a GDB
BASEMAPS ArcGIS Online basemaps are the reliable map source which built with content contributed by organizations around the world through the Community Maps Program.
ARCGIS WORLD IMAGERY WITH LABELS - THE MOST POPULAR BASEMAP Provides natural color imagery
WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER IMAGERIES? LANDSAT 8 The Landsat program is the longest running enterprise for acquisition of satellite imagery of Earth. 1972 the Earth Resources Technology Satellite was launched. 02. 01.2013 the most recent, Landsat 8, was launched. ArcGIS Online contains Landsat data under the search function. Resolution includes 30m for true color and 15m for black and white Provides some of the most high resolution data and imagery for an extra cost.
LANDSAT 8 WITHIN ARCGIS ONLINE Landsat 8 PanSharpened Landsat 8 Views Landsat 8 Panchromatic
LANDSAT 8 VIEWS Basic characteristics: 30m Multispectral 8 band scenes with visual renderings and indices. Updated daily. ArcGIS Online subscription required.
NATURALVUE SATELLITE IMAGERY - PROVIDES A USEFUL AND ATTRACTIVE MAP This map presents NaturalVue 15m satellite imagery of the world. NaturalVue is a natural color worldwide seamless mosaic from over 8,600 Landsat-7 multispectral images. This single consistent global dataset has a spatial resolution of 0.5 arcseconds (~15 meters) and a positional accuracy of better than 50 meters RMSE. Naturalvue has better resolution than Landsat 8 Views (15m vs 30m)

Capture photos and video. Integrate information into your organization's GIS. Configure the app to fit your organization s workflow
FINAL MAP OF TREES INVENTORY
CASE STUDY 2 Landscape architect ure projects around the country. Pop up would give detailed information about the winners.
CASE STUDY 3 Goals: make a map which contains info about upcoming conferences Embed all 3 case studies into one website
ORGANIZATIONAL ACCOUNT PROVIDES A CONVENIENT TOOL FOR A TEAMWORK
SHARING AND EMBEDDING MAPS 1.Sharing 2. Embedding
CONFERENCES AROUND THE WORLD
ACCESSIBILITY OF DATA AND CITING 1. We have full control and rights only on our own created data (our organization). 2. We can t edit and pull out the data which is not ours. The only thing we can do work with it within ArcGIS Online. 3. Fancy stuff (like Landsat 8) requires an organizational account and costs money. 4. All maps in ArcGIS online are being sited automatically
CONCLUSION ArcGIS Online based on 3 conceptions: gis + crowdsourcing + cloud computing ArcGIS Online includes: data source (imageries, vector maps), tools, apps, API for developers Can be embedded into a website easily Makes a teamwork more affective and easy It is a very useful and handy tool for natural resources, crop, wildlife, landscape scientists and managers ArcGIS Online is a brand new website and it is growing very fast
