In 2015, CoServ made the determination to migrate all asset data management into IBM Maximo. We opted to leverage ArcGIS for Server as our main integration point between Maximo and GIS. By hosting our utility infrastructure data in feature services, we allowed Maximo to view spatially enabled information for visualization within its own environment. Additionally, Maximo updates feature classes and their related tables based upon changes made in Maximo seamlessly through the services. By leveraging Global IDs and GUIDs as the direct linkage between Maximo assets and GIS features, CoServ is now able to ingest Maximo assets directly into the GIS environment. This presented GIS end users access to asset related information in their native environment. The migration has been a highly successful implementation. It has alleviated the strain on GIS to manage and maintain asset related information while still providing a way for GIS to access it. This solution has provided a stable integration between the two environments with minimal customizations. By thinking a bit out of the box, CoServ was able to create a unique integration that solved all of our problems.

It provides mapping, analysis, data management and collaboration capabilities through an integrated web GIS platform including ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Online and Portal for ArcGIS. The ArcGIS platform supports embedding web maps across various business systems and on any device through web browsers and applications.
The document discusses NOAA's Digital Coast website and tools for coastal management. Digital Coast provides data like LiDAR, land cover maps, historical imagery, and ocean use maps for several Pacific islands. It also offers tools like a tsunami information tool, land cover atlas, sea level rise viewer, and economic data. Training is provided through various methods. The goal is to bring geospatial and coastal management communities together on an integrated platform to support coastal resource management.
This document discusses key threats to Hawaiian reefs from various human activities and natural stressors. It provides details on potential data sources that could be used to map the spatial distribution and intensity of each threat, such as sediment export models, land use maps, commercial fishing records, buoy locations, and satellite sea surface temperature data. The goal is to develop comprehensive spatial datasets characterizing multiple threats to better understand their combined impacts and inform management decisions.
The document discusses how The Trust for Public Land uses geographic information systems (GIS) to connect communities through conservation planning. It explains that TPL works with communities to create "Greenprints", which are plans that identify local conservation priorities through public engagement and GIS modeling. Greenprints incorporate weighted criteria like recreation, habitat protection, and water quality to create composite maps of conservation value. These maps guide land prioritization and stakeholder action planning. The document provides examples of TPL's Greenprinting work in Hawaii and its Climate Smart Cities initiative, which uses GIS to help communities increase greenspace and mitigate climate impacts.
This document discusses using low-altitude aerial surveys with unmanned aerial vehicles to assess coral reef health in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. The goals are to develop a cheap, fast, and spatially accurate technique to survey entire reef areas at a high resolution. Test flights with a DJI Phantom 2 drone captured imagery over 1500 square meters that was processed into orthomosaics and used texture/color models to classify and map coral species, bleaching, and health. This could create a reef atlas for Kaneohe Bay, inform management, and increase understanding of reef dynamics by providing long-term monitoring at various spatial scales.
This presentation compares speed data from Hawaii DOT monitoring stations to the National Performance Measurement Research Data Set (NPMRDS) probe data. It finds that the two data sources match fairly well overall but that finer-grained Hawaii DOT data is needed for detailed analysis. The presentation demonstrates how to link NPMRDS travel time data to road network maps using open-source tools and provides examples of mapping and animating travel times using this data to estimate the impacts of traffic events. It concludes that the NPMRDS and Hawaii DOT data can both be used to analyze traffic conditions when combined with open-source spatial analysis tools.
This document summarizes Donald Hayes' presentation on the use of geographic information systems (GIS) technology and community level data visualization to inform planning efforts in Hawaii. Some key points:
- The Hawaii Department of Health uses a variety of health and socioeconomic datasets to identify needs, support grant applications, research, legislation and program evaluation.
- Data is compiled into a Primary Care Data Book which provides indicators by community on health outcomes, risk factors and socioeconomics using data sources like the census and vital records.
- The Data Book is used to assess primary care needs, highlight differences between communities, and facilitate data-driven decision making. It has supported funding and policy decisions and is utilized by various organizations.
The document discusses how GIS was used to enhance collaboration and decision making for the Honolulu Rail Transit Project. GIS provided a platform for HART, HDOH, and contractors to easily share and access environmental, planning, and construction data. Task-based apps within the GIS system allowed non-technical and technical users to efficiently view relevant project information. Organizing data within the GIS cloud-based system reduced data management costs and improved access to real-time project data compared to traditional approaches. Overall, the use of GIS created a powerful collaborative decision making tool that improved project planning, oversight and efficiency.
The Women in Technology project in Hawaii aims to encourage girls, women, Native Hawaiians, and other underrepresented groups to pursue STEM education and careers. It works to build a homegrown technical workforce through various initiatives like STEMWorks, which partners students with industry mentors on projects that address community needs. Key elements of STEMWorks include service-learning courses, promoting equity and cultural understanding, and facilitating self-directed learning through critical thinking and teamwork skills. The program also offers teacher professional development, student internships, and GIS training and workshops across various Hawaiian islands.
Zachary Smith outlines a plan to upgrade the organizational GIS system at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. The current system uses outdated software and individual project files stored on a network drive. The upgrade will implement an enterprise GIS by moving all data and maps to a centralized geodatabase on a SQL Server, publishing feature services, and hosting web applications on ArcGIS Online. This will allow for better sharing of maps and data across the organization and with the public. The implementation will involve contracting a developer, upgrading servers and software, and publishing all assets as web services on the new system.
Geodesy is the science of measuring and monitoring the shape and size of the Earth. It provides the foundation for geospatial data through establishing accurate coordinate systems. The National Geodetic Survey is working to modernize and improve the National Spatial Reference System through new geometric and vertical datums by 2022, which will change coordinates by up to a few meters. Users should adopt the latest realizations of NAD 83 to prepare for these changes and ensure accurate positioning into the future.
This document summarizes the capabilities of aerial cameras used for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imaging and mapping. It provides details on fixed-wing and rotary-wing UAVs, including payload, flight time, and advantages. The document discusses historical map-making techniques like plane table surveying and photogrammetry. It also demonstrates the high quality data and 3D models that can be generated from UAV imagery, including orthomosaics, point clouds, digital surface models, and meshes. Accuracy is assessed by comparison to lidar elevation data. The document shows examples of UAV products like 3D meshes of structures.
The document discusses preparations for the 2020 Census and Geographic Partnerships. It provides updates on the 2020 Census program, the Geographic Support System Initiative (GSS-I), the Local Update of Census Addresses Program (LUCA), and the Redistricting Data Program (RDP). It summarizes various census tests conducted in 2015, 2016, and future tests planned for 2017 and 2018. The goals are to test new address canvassing methods, self-response optimization, use of administrative records, and field operations to improve the 2020 Census.
This document discusses real-time GNSS correction sources and their applications and accuracy levels. It describes satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS), Omnistar satellite differential corrections, Trimble RTX internet and satellite corrections, single base radio/internet corrections, and real-time networks. Accuracies range from 10-15 meters for autonomous GNSS to 1-3 centimeters for fixed baseline survey systems using corrections. The document provides an overview of correction options for different uses like survey, mapping, and their availability in Hawaii.
The document outlines Hawaii's plans for height modernization from 2015 to 2026. Digital leveling of Oahu is underway from 2015 to 2016. Maui plans to issue an RFP for leveling consultants. Leveling of the Big Island and Kauai is planned from around 2018 to 2022. Lidar data collection for the islands is planned to begin in 2025. A new geoid model for Hawaii incorporating the leveling and lidar data is planned for 2026. The effort aims to benefit the private sector, government, and public utilities through improved vertical accuracy and control across the state.
The document analyzes tree canopy coverage and potential tree planting areas in an urban zone using remote sensing data. It finds that the urban zone covers 76,761 acres of land, of which 15,274 acres are existing tree canopy coverage. An additional 27,224 acres of grassland/shrub and 13,760 acres of impervious surfaces are identified as possible areas for increasing tree canopy coverage. However, 20,613 acres of the land is not suitable for planting due to existing buildings and roads. The analysis is part of research conducted by the University of Vermont, Smart Trees Pacific, and Pictometry International Corp to understand urban forestry.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Editor's Notes
Thanks Royce. I’m here to tell everyone a little about the Statewide GIS Program, and the great work we’ve been doing, in partnership with OIMT and the Pacific Disaster Center.
If you’ve downloaded one or more of the over 200 data layers we’ve published over the last 15 years, then this is how you probably know the Hawaii Statewide GIS Program. Before I talk about the data, I’d like to give you some background on our program.
The Statewide GIS Program is housed in the Office of Planning, which is an attached agency to DBEDT.
We are responsible by statute for Leading, planning, and coordinating the State GIS data and the overall Statewide GIS platform and data for State agencies. We create, collect and maintain data, assist State agencies with their GIS needs, work on standards and policies and future direction for the State GIS, and work on enterprise-wide projects such as the State’s ArcGIS Online site.
Besides downloadable data, we’ve published downloadable maps and web mapping applications.
For several years we’ve published online applications…
…and we’re creating new ones. I’d like to show you one of these new apps – EnerGIS – an application created by BEI Hawaii for DBEDT’s Energy Division, with assistance from the Statewide GIS Program.
EnerGIS provides information on renewable energy for any parcel in Hawaii. Just like in Desktop GIS, there are multiple layers that can be switched on and off. Here are a few layers relating to geothermal energy on the Big Island.
Users can search for a parcel by address or TMK, or they can pan/zoom to an area and click on a parcel. Once the parcel has been identified, details like those shown here can be requested.
Here’s the information you get for Biomass…
Geothermal shows…
And solar….
And wind…An interesting item on this page is towards the bottom – GIS REST Services.
Here, circled in red, is something different – operational layers. These are the layers that draw on top of the imagery basemap. The State publishes these operational layers as a REST Service that the EnerGIS application uses.…
This is a listing of all the layers that are published as part of the REST service. You can see that they’re organized and numbered. For instance, layer #6 is “Parcels”, used for both display and query. Layer #2 is “Thermal Springs”. Let’s look closer at that one.
You can see that these are point features; you can see the symbol used to render the points, and you can see there are three attributes including a field called “Description.” All this information is available through the REST service.So who can make use of these REST services? Do you have to be an application development programmer?
Certainly application developers can make use of these services just like BEI Hawaii did in creating the EnerGIS application.
And web map designers using ArcGIS Online or other web mapping software can use these same REST services.
And Desktop GIS users can also use these same REST services. Here’s how…
Here’s ArcMap with an imagery basemap already drawn. How can I add the Thermal Springs from the State REST service? I go to Catalog and under GIS Servers I have connected to the existing State server at maps.hawaii.gov. I can see a number of map services including one in the EnerGIS folder called “Operational”. I can drag and drop “Operational” on to my map.
Now I see in my Table of Contents, a new layer, actually a group layer, called EnerGIS/Operational. I can click the plus sign to expand the group layer.
I can now see all the layers that are part of the REST service and check them on and off like any other layer. Here I have checked on “Thermal Springs” and we see them now on the map.
And I can uncheck layers, so I unchecked parcels since I don’t want to see them.Notice that I didn’t have to go download a bunch of shapefiles, so it saves me time and saves me space on my hard drive. And I don’t have to worry whether I have the latest version of the shapefiles, since the REST service has the latest data and I see it automatically.So now you may be wondering what other data is available as REST services from State GIS. I’ll tell you in a minute, but first a quick lesson on REST map services.
The fastest type of REST map service is a Tiled map service. These are often used for basemaps where the data does not change frequently because they draw faster than other types of services. Basically, the maps are pre-drawn at several different scales (zoom levels) and cached on the server. This is why they are also called “static”.If you think of your MXD, imagine zooming in at 16 different scales and taking a snapshot of your screen. This is basically what a Tiled map service is, millions and millions of small snapshots of the map, often created using tools in ArcToolbox, and then uploaded to a server.
A second type of map service is a Dynamic map service. Here the vector and raster data is rendered dynamically by the server as needed and then sent as an image to the client. This is why Dynamic map services are slower than Tiled map services. Dynamic map services can support data that changes often and also support dynamic labeling, just like in an MXD. The EnerGIS REST service is a Dynamic map service. Think of it as an MXD that has been published to a server.
A third type is a Feature map service. Feature map services are usually the slowest type since the features themselves are sent to the client and rendered there. The advantage is that the user has lots of control over symbology, can access tabular information and perform queries against the data. For small numbers of features they are quite fast, but there are some limitations.Users downloading thousands or millions of features could slow down the server and the network. To prevent this, a limit is set on the server when the feature service is created. The default is 1000 features, we plan to set our threshold to 3000 features. If you were to connect to a feature service of say, parcels on Maui, and the default was set to 1000, you could only see 1000 parcels at a time. If you’re zoomed in to a small area with only a few hundred parcels in the map extent this is not a problem, but if you’re looking at the entire island this looks quite strange since only 1000, seemingly random, parcels are drawn.There are ways to get around this by using a combination of Tiled, Dynamic and Feature services, and the State GIS is working towards providing all of these, but we are not there yet. For now, if you connect and use our feature services, use them with care if you expect more than 1000 features.
So, back to the data. When Sonny Bhagowalia came on board as the state’s first CIO, he set out to transform IT in State government, including GIS. He, along with OP, convened a GIS working group of stakeholders – some of you probably participated – these were mostly State agency GIS users, but we also worked with HIGICC, the counties, federal agencies, and the private sector to get input on how the Statewide GIS could be improved. The group held several working meetings from January through May of 2012, which resulted in a broad, 10 year plan for modernization of the State GIS that had stakeholder buy-in, because the stakeholders – many of you - developed the plan.
Part of that plan is to provide all the data you currently access via download as REST map services – as Tiled, Dynamic and/or Feature services. We’ve provided links on our website to a few other agencies who are also doing this, such as the NRCS, USGS, and the CCH.
Here is a diagram of what we’re working towards… We will have one, authoritative data source for Statewide GIS data. That data will be able to be used directly from the SDE database by State GIS users. That same database will also be pushed out as REST services using the standards listed here. The services will be registered in ArcGIS Online and data.hawaii.gov (not copied!) – so that users of those platforms will be able to search directly from within those environments to find and use the authoritative data. As PDC will describe shortly, we’re well on our way to implementation of this vision.
But already, the services that PDC has stood up can be pulled directly into Desktop GIS, ArcGIS Online and Web applications like EnerGIS.
And, we’ve already registered most of our REST services in ArcGIS Online, so that you can find them from within Desktop or ArcGIS Online, searching by tags like those you see here, and/or by using the owner name “HawaiiStateGIS.”
And other planned components of the vision, such as creation of image services for our WorldView 2 and other State imagery holdings, and an open data portal, will be implemented soon as well.
PDC, the Pacific Disaster Center is supporting State GIS in this effort, with funding from OIMT. They are providing the infrastructure, hosting and converting the State GIS data layers in to the database and into REST map services, helping us build the caches, and helping us to serve imagery. Eventually, we plan to have one comprehensive State Geoplatform - something that will include access to data, tools, maps and applications, all in one place.
We’re going to get a status update now from PDC’s CIO, Tristan Chitty, but before they come up, here is the URL to our main website and the URL to the new REST map services that PDC is hosting.We’ll take questions after PDC presents, and we’d really like to hear from you, as to how you use the current download data website, whether you’re already using REST map services in your work, what kinds of data you use the most, and things like that. Hopefully we’ll have time before the end of this session to start that discussion today.Thank you. And now, PDC…
