Why Web Service? User’s Convenient:
Why Web Service? • Instant Access • Honoring Confidentiality Agreement • Enhancing Up-to-Date Process • User Convenient
Web Mapping Technology • Open Web Mapping – – Geo. Server, Map. Server Open. Layers, Map. Lab Post. GIS, My. SQL Spatial u. Dig • Proprietary Web Mapping – ESRI – Map. Dot. Net – Google, Yahoo, Bing ü Cable database Ø Web Mapping Technology q Cable Web Service Development q Wrap UP q Questions
ESRI Web Mapping Solutions Data Application Arc. GIS Server Arc. GIS. com Viewer Arc. GIS Explorer Online Arc. GIS Viewer for Flex Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC 2) Arc. GIS Mapping for Share. Point WMS Servers Arc. GIS Web ADF Arc. GIS Web API
Arc. GIS Web APIs • Arc. GIS API for Flex – Build on Adobe Flash player – MXML and Action. Script – Flex Builder or text editor with free Flex SDK • Arc. GIS API for Silverlight /WPF – Microsoft Silverlight/WPF platform – XAML, C# or VB. Net – Visual Studio or Expression Blend • Arc. GIS API for Javascript – Eclipse or Net. Beans or text editor
Silverlight API for Arc. GIS • 2007 (Version 1), April 2010 (Version 4) • XAML (Extensible Application Markup Language ) <Stack. Panel> <Button Content=“Click Me”/> </Stack. Panel> • VB. Net or C# for the code behind
XAML &. NET • Team Work – Developer (VB. NET or C#) – Designers (XAML) • Development Environment – Visual Studio (VB. NET or C#) – Expression Blend (XAML) • Data Binding – Bind data objects to the user interface ( data objects can be defined in the code behind)
Cable Web Service Characteristics • Utilizing Scenarios – – To find out if there is a cable in a specific location To find about an specific cable To design a new cable To prepare for a new geophysical survey ü ü Cable database Web mapping Technology Ø Cable Web Service Development q Wrap Up q Questions
Cable Web Service Characteristics • Development Objectives – – – Customized functionalities Smooth visualization Up-to-date scenarios
Developing Tools • Common Tools – Navigation – Identify – Turning on/off the layers • Customized Tools – – – Find Plot geographical coordinates Definition query Geoprocessing (buffering, intersect) Updating feature attributes Uploading new datasets
Smooth Visualization Data Presentation Interface Design
Smooth Visualization Data Presentation • Cable Type (Line Style) – Power – Telecommunication – Scientific • Cable Status (Color) – As Laid – Plan – Retired
Smooth Visualization Data Presentation • Definition Query
Smooth Visualization Data Presentation • Listing Cable Names
Smooth Visualization Data Presentation • Tooltip and Clustering for Events
Smooth Visualization User Interface • Map Size • Drag and Drop Enabled
Smooth Visualization User Interface • Hide and Show
Smooth Visualization User Interface • User Interactions
Performance • XAP File 1. User visits web mapping page 2. XAP file is downloaded in user’s computer 3. XAP file is executed • • Client-Side Processing Data Request – – – • Snapshot On-demand Selection Requesting Attributes from Server
Success Criteria • • Eliminate the Need for Actual Data Guarantee Data Confidentiality Bring Fugro Offices Collaboration Motivate by Showing Immediate Benefits
Future Development • Providing Access to Clients • Adding Other Fugro Databases • Adding Functionality: – Print – Export map – Import layers into map
Development Requirements • Programming – XAML programming –. Net programming – Arc. Objects programming • Software – Arc. GIS Server – Visual Studio / Expression Blend – Silverlight API • Data – Database administration • Server – Intranet – Authentication – Maintenance ü ü ü Cable database Web mapping Technology Cable Web Service Development Ø Wrap UP q Questions
Development Consideration • Pros – – – Developing rich web application. Net developer Cross browsers compatibility Performance Gaining popularity
Development Consideration • Cons • • Learning curve Cost Rapid pace of change Proprietary technology
Time. Line • End of November 2010 • Development completed • Application is tested • Service is active • April 2011 • Present the project in AAG Seattle
