Essay 1:
Web services allow different applications and systems to communicate and exchange data over the internet in a standardized way, regardless of programming language or operating system. This is achieved through the use of XML, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI. XML provides the data format, SOAP defines how to encode operation calls and responses, WSDL describes the services available and UDDI allows services to be published and discovered.
Together these technologies provide a standardized way for systems to programmatically discover, describe and integrate web services in a platform and language independent manner. This interoperability is a key benefit, allowing organizations to more easily integrate
Tableau Server provides tools for sharing data visualizations within an organization in a secure manner. It allows publishing workbooks to the server which authenticated users can then access through a web browser. The server architecture uses multiple processes to handle requests, load data, and render views. It can be licensed and scaled either through named user licenses or server core licenses. Security is provided through user authentication, permissions on workbooks and projects, and separation of data and visualizations across different server sites.

The document discusses the construction industry in India. It notes that construction is the second largest industry in India, accounting for 11% of GDP and employing 32 million people. The industry is large and growing, with significant foreign investment from international real estate companies. Challenges include a lack of trained workers and financing for small and medium contractors. Overall, growth in the Indian economy and infrastructure investment are driving increasing opportunities in the construction sector.
The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering blood pressure, reducing muscle tension, and decreasing levels of stress hormones. Making meditation a part of a daily routine, even if just 10-15 minutes per day, can significantly improve mood, focus, and overall feelings of well-being over time.

It notes that regular exercise can reduce the risk of diseases like heart disease and diabetes, improve mood, and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. The document recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week to gain these benefits.
This document provides an introduction to the fundamentals of remote sensing. It discusses that remote sensing involves acquiring information about the Earth's surface without direct contact, using sensors to detect reflected or emitted energy. It describes the seven elements of the remote sensing process, including an energy source, interactions with the atmosphere and target, sensor recording, data transmission and processing, interpretation, and application of results. It also discusses electromagnetic radiation, the electromagnetic spectrum, and how radiation interacts with and is scattered or absorbed by particles in the atmosphere.

4. Exercise 1: Adding and connecting to a database server
For this tutorial, you will need to install ArcGIS Desktop
(ArcEditor or ArcInfo license level) and SQL Server 2005
Express, enabled for ArcSDE Personal, on your PC. You
most likely already have ArcGIS Desktop installed, but
if not, please follow the installation instructions provided
with ArcGIS to complete this. You will also need to have To add your database server to the Catalog tree:

database server administrator so you can perform the tasks
in this tutorial.
Start ArcCatalog
You connect to and administer ArcSDE database servers
from ArcCatalog. Therefore, before you can complete the
tasks in the next two exercises, you must start ArcCatalog.
1. Click the Start button on the Windows task bar.
2. Point to Programs.
3. Point to ArcGIS. 3. Click OK.
4. Click ArcCatalog. The ArcCatalog window appears. After you add your database server to the Catalog tree, you
will notice a database server icon with the name of your

5. Disconnect from a database server
To disconnect from a database server, right-click the
database server and click Disconnect.
When you are not connected to a database server, there will
be a red X on the database server icon.
Connect to a database server
To reconnect to the database server, either double-click it or
right-click it and click Connect.
When the connection is established, the red X will
disappear from the database server icon.
ADDING AND CONNECTING TO A DATABASE SERVER 3
6. Exercise 2: Adding users
Database servers use Windows-authenticated users and
groups. This means to add more users to your database
server, the users or groups must exist on your network or
the machine where SQL Server Express is installed. In
most cases, the users you want to add will already be on the
network. However, for this exercise, we will add users to
your computer then to the database server.

The ArcSDE database server administrator is responsible
for maintaining the database server, creating and
maintaining geodatabases, and adding and administering
other database server user accounts. Depending on whether or not you are a Windows

9. Exercise 3: Creating and adding geodatabases
The database server administrator creates the geodatabases 6. You can specify the initial size of the geodatabase
on the database server. He or she can also attach existing in megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB). For this

location. In this case, you will use the default location.
A convenient way to move data between groups is to detach
the geodatabase from one database server and attach it to
another. For example, a subcontractor might create GIS
data that needs to be given to the contractor for additional
processing.
Detaching a geodatabase removes all reference to the
geodatabase from the database server. Attaching a
geodatabase registers the SQL Server data files with the
ArcSDE database server instance.
Note: Only an ArcSDE database server administrator can
detach or attach a geodatabase.
CREATING AND ADDING GEODATABASES 7
10. A geodatabase called traffic_study was installed on your
hard drive when you installed the tutorial data. This
geodatabase contains some of the data you might use to
create a network dataset and perform a traffic analysis
of the Kansas City area. You will attach the traffic_study
geodatabase to your database server.
1. In the Catalog tree, right-click the database server.
2. Click Attach.
3. In the Attach Geodatabase dialog box, click the ellipsis
button (...).
4. Browse to the C:ArcGISArcTutorDatabaseServers
folder, select the traffic_study.mdf file, and click OK.
5. The Geodatabase name field is populated automatically
with the geodatabase name–traffic_study.
6. Click OK.
The traffic_study geodatabase should now be listed under
the database server in the Catalog tree.
As indicated, this geodatabase already contains data. You
can view the contents of the geodatabase by expanding it.
The geodatabase should contain four feature classes:
interstate, airports, railroads, and KC_area.
8 ARCSDE DATABASE SERVERS TUTORIAL
11. Exercise 4: Administering user permissions
User permissions can be set at the database server level, at
the geodatabase level, and at the dataset level.
You were using the database server level Permission dialog
box when you added Leon and Tess in Exercise 2. From
here, the database server administrator can add and remove
users and grant Server administrator privileges.
Since neither Tess nor Leon will be database server
administrators, no permissions were assigned to them when
they were added. Now that there are geodatabases on the
database server, though, you can administer Tess and Leon’s
geodatabase-level permissions.
When permissions are granted at the geodatabase level, they
apply to the entire geodatabase. For instance, if you grant
read/write geodatabase permissions to a user, that user will
have read/write access to all data in that geodatabase.
Default geodatabase permissions

perform database server-level administrative tasks, such as
