Slide 9: Examples of Geospatial Applications • Desktop GIS • Geospatially-enabled CAD • Web Mapping • Geospatial relational database management systems • Spatial analysis (suitability, market areas, …) • Topological analysis • Digital terrain modeling • Network infrastructure management for utilities, telcos, and local governnment • Routing • Georeferencing • Pavement management • Road/highway/railroad information systems • 3D visualization of cityscapes • Etc. 9 © 2005 Autodesk

Slide 13: Trend: Open Geospatial Standards Open Geospatial Consortium Simple Feature Specification (SFS)   Geographic Markup Language (GML)  OGC Web Services  Web Mapping Service (WMS)  Web Feature Service (WFS) ISO SQL/MM SQL with geospatial extensions  13 © 2005 Autodesk

Slide 14: Trend: Open Source Geospatial Open source geospatial has matured MapServer, PostGIS, GeoServer, MapGuide, … Estimate that half of world’s web mapping servers use MapServer. 14 © 2005 Autodesk

Slide 18: Standards create fertile ground for open source C, C++ -> Gnu C, C++ compiler POSIX -> GNU/Linux HTTP -> Apache Web Server SQL, ODBC -> MySQL, PostGreSQL SMTP, POP -> Sendmail, etc. .Net -> Mono 18 © 2005 Autodesk

Slide 19: Commoditization Example: Apache Foundation NCSA HTTP Server and the Apache Group Mid 90’s: Apache Group formed by eight NCSA HTTP Server  programmers  Objective to coordinate \"patches\" Challenge: commercializing the web IBM and others  Trying to decide how to monetize web  Creation of the Apache Foundation 1999 IBM decided to support the Apache Web Server  Members of the Apache Group formed the Apache Foundation,  Legal entity, to provide organizational, legal, and financial support for  the Apache web server. Result: Apache Web Server Running on over 70% of the world’s web servers.  19 © 2005 Autodesk

Slide 20: IT standards and geospatial Geospatial was a latecomer to IT and many of  the standards associated with modern IT  GIS used to be highly proprietary.  Geospatial has joined the mainstream. Generic IT standards are being applied to  geospatial  SQL -> SQL/MM  XML -> GML  Web services -> OGC OWS (WMS, WFS, …) 20 © 2005 Autodesk

Slide 21: Open Geospatial Standards Open Geospatial Consortium Simple Feature Specification (SFS)   Geographic Markup Language (GML)  OGC Web Services  Web Mapping Service (WMS)  Web Feature Service (WFS) ISO SQL/MM SQL with geospatial extensions  21 © 2005 Autodesk

Slide 23: Commoditization of Web Mapping Web mapping should be open source  Less complex than desktop applications  Becoming commoditized  Successful open source community around MapServer  Analogy with Apache Web Server  User benefits  More frequent software releases  Faster innovation, support for standards  Lower cost of ownership  Creates commercial opportunities  Market creation, broadens use of web mapping  Increase demand for supporting products  Low barrier to entry for developers (ISV’s)  23 © 2005 Autodesk
