Transcript West Virginia’s Geospatial Strategic Planning Process

Geospatial Technologies …
How They Relate to the West Virginia Forum on
Statewide Water Sampling Programs
Topics to be explored
• Pertinent history
• Recent policy changes
• Geospatial technology advancements
In the beginning .......
• Before WVDEP’s Environmental Quality
Information System (=EQuIS)
– Individual PC-based sampling databases
– All were one hard drive failure from
extinction
– No serious database design
Environmental Quality Information System (EQuIS)
• After EQuIS
– Enterprise, server-based sample results
database
– Proper backup of mission critical data
– Serious database design
WCMS hooks to EQuIS

using WCMS showing potential runoff from
surface mine sites
Things happen
Moving forward …
Late 2008 - Now
• Division of Mining & Reclamation’s
eMaps
– Submittal of active mining permitting data
electronically mandated January 1 of 2009
• Surface water sampling points
• Groundwater sampling points
– Revised WVDEP’s Geospatial Policy end
of ‘08

Desktop vs. WWW GIS
• Distributed computing  geoservices
Geoservices that can be engineered
Geoservice
Example
Description
Map Services
Serves cached maps and dynamic maps from
ArcGIS.
Geocode Services
Finds address locations.
Geodata Services
Provides geodatabase access, query, updates,
and management services.
Geoprocessing
Services
Provides spatial analysis and data processing
services.
Globe Services
Serves digital globes authored in ArcGIS.
More later about image services
Image Services
Provides access to image services.
B-ORG
What is the
West=Virginia
Broadband-Geospatial
Orchestrated Regional
B-ORG?
Group
Your ArcGIS/SDE Server’s technological
distinctiveness will be added to our own
How Does the B-ORG Work?
• The hive provides
•
RTI
SDE
the ability to remote
DoT LAN
access geospatial
DoT
SDE
data using
broadband access
WV Backbone
to ArcGIS Servers
outside your Agency
The potential
DEP LAN

exists to add to
SDE
the collective.
GeoServices Model is the Future
• Data from three servers comingled with
real time spatial analysis now possible!
Mining data from WVDEP’s server

So join the West Virginia GIS BroadbandOrchestrated Regional Group (B-ORG)
Resistance IS
futile
... a collective of ArcGIS Server-based
geoservices empowering West Virginia
with the ability to access remote
geospatial data more efficiently. To
become part of the hive you will need a
collective user id and logon.
