This presentation was given at GIStech 2010 in Rotterdam (NL) and later to students of the University of Wageningen. In this presentation we explain the choices we've made in a number of GIS projects.

1. 1 „Right“ choices in GIS June, 2nd 2010 Xander Bakker Team GIS, Grontmij GIS&ICT

2. 2 ArcGIS 10? Who has any experience with ArcGIS 10?

3. 3 Which criteria? Functionality Commercial software or Open Source Available budget Capacityplanning Network Also check out: System Design Strategies Performance Security Implementation Infrastructure Data Maintenance Knowledge level of users Hardware + OS Number of users

4. 4 Data Where is my data?

5. 5 GeoScanner

6. 6 Metadata Producer Lot of data lacking Metadata There are easier ways to do it… (e.g. using the Metadata Producer) To fill Metadata is time consuming

7. 7 AG10: Search Service Local data On a server* ArcGIS Online Find Index * AGS Search Service Describe

8. 8 Static or dynamic? Static data Dynamic data (near) Real-time

9. 9 Static data Soil Quality Map on the Internet 5 year unchanged (static) Simple maintenance Low cost

10. 10 Dynamic data nieuweplannen.nl GeoWeb rural/urban planning/zoning Zwolle Cross cluster projects (roles, AGS, video conf.)

11. 11 (near) Real-time data Fleet tracking Precipitation Traffic speed (traffic jam) GeoRSS Sensorweb Fleet Tracker GeoCortex O&M, SensorML, TransducerML, SOS, SPS, SAS, WNS Precipitation radar KNMI Flex ESRI NL

12. 12 Reference data Use of many sources (OpenStreetMap, Bing, Google, DKNL, en many others) directly in ArcGIS: © Beware of

13. 13 Desktop analysis Automization? Python and/or ModelBuilder VS: Application or Add-in (new in 10) VBA (only available in ArcGIS 10) Prediction of urban flooding MorphGIS, dredging and suppletion

14. 14 Detection of buildings Update building height (new districts) Analyse 175 AHN2 subunits 0.5m (raw data) or develop our own algorithm? Detection of buildings in AHN2 (LiDAR) data

16. Buildings mainly covered with NoData are depicted as well1 before 2 3 1 after 2 3

17. 16 Detection of buildings Completeness: 286 missing buildings 278 detected (97%) 8 not detected (3%) Correctness: 316 buildings classified 278 correctly classified (88%) 38 misclassified (12%)

18. Purpose: generate A3-maps for the registration of parcels, grants, etc. In 4 years time over 800.000 maps produced 17 Tailor made maps

19. 18 Fallback DVD or Harddisk Optimization System Tailor made maps LNV Order Desk Extra mapping Systems Mapping systems Listener Central Database Monitor FTP Printer

20. 19 Map production AG10 Arcpy.mapping Data driven pages Dynamic elements Multi-scale maps Sample script Ernst Eijkelenboom – ESRI NL

21. 20 Time enabled layers … not only for temporal data

22. 21 PlanpROces www. .ro

23. 22 Mobile: which platform? HW: Tablet PC PDA Smartphone OS: Windows Mobile OS X iPhone Android Blackberry RIM OS (Symbian OS / Palm OS)

24. 23 ArcPad vs AG Mobile ArcPad from version 8* extensive “many” (€€€) gis technician extensive ArcPad extension*** C++, VBScript, JScript AG Mobile yes, standard limited ** many workflow limited Enterprise Advanced .NET Visual Studio Platform Synchronisation Functionality Number of Users Knowledge level of users Geometry / Symbology AG Server license? Development IDE

25. 24 MuskusPad

26. 25 StadsWaterPAD Registration of observations (EBEOstad)

27. 26 ArcPad 10 ArcPad 10 enhancements: Beta 2 released on May 7th, 2010 Configurable forms for relates Support for ArcGIS Online & Bing Maps Integration with ArcLogistic Navigator Enhanced Photo & Camera experience Quick Capture Toolbar Data Manager for ArcGIS 10 Performance enhancements for Tablet PC | PDA | Smartphone http://twitter.com/ArcPadTeam http://ArcPadTeam.blogspot.com/

28. 27 MoVe (AG Mobile) First a movie … … then a live demo

29. 28 MoVe Export Web/Batch application Complete workflow File server Office application Custom Synchronisation Sample Dynamic maplayers (AGS services) Maintenance module Static basemaps SDC / MapCache AGM synchronisation Featureclasses

30. 29 REST API $P{MoVeExport_MapServer} + "/export?bbox=" + $F{BBMINX}.toString() + "%2C" + $F{BBMINY}.toString() + "%2C" + $F{BBMAXX}.toString() + "%2C" + $F{BBMAXY}.toString() + "&bboxSR=&layers=hide%3A" + $F{HIDELAYERS} + "&layerDefs=" + $F{LAYERA} + "%3A+BESCHIKKINGID+%3D+%27" + $F{BESCHIKKINGID} + "%27+AND+BESCHIKKINGIDVLGNR+%3D+%27" + $F{BESCHIKKINGIDVLGNR} + "%27%3B" + $F{LAYERB} + "%3A+aanvraag_nr+%3D+" + $F{AANVRAAG_NR}.toString() + "+AND+beheerseenheid_nr+%3D+%27" + $F{BEHEERSEENHEID_NR} + "%27&size=1000%2C1000&imageSR=&format=png24&transparent=false&dpi=&f=image"

31. 30 AGS Web Applications JavaScript API Flex API Silverlight / WPF API .NET Web ADF Java Web ADF SharePoint

32. 31 GeoWeb 3 Feature Hyperlink Direct connect to RDBMS (Oracle, ODBC, …) Single storage, multiple use (NORA) Link to photos, cycloramas, documents Serve urban/rural zoning of PlanpROces Share and collaborate through projects Extensibility (geoprocessing, editing, mobile)

33. 32 Silverlight API

34. 33 Questions? Criteria? Development of custom apps? Data? ArcGIS 10? AG Server? AG Mobile?
