– Information Domain Team to release draft to
agencies for official comment period after
meeting with DOT and updates
ITBs
• GESA
– Establishes GESA as primary architecture for
all Commonwealth of PA geospatial
Internet/Intranet applications
– Applies to new geospatial hardware/software
and database investments
– Primary data storage for all geospatial data
assets that need to be shared across agencies
Training
Training
• Instructor-Led – ITQ Procurements
• Online Self-Paced – ESRI Virtual Campus
• Workshops - GIS 101 for Managers
• Training is FREE and optional for agencies
Training
• Planning for FY05 Training
• No more open registration
• Agencies must submit employee names and prioritize via
standard Excel spreadsheet
– Alternates will need to be assigned by the agency
– Exceptions will be made for newly hired GIS
employees
• Instructor-Led training to be held in FY 2005
– Introduction to ArcGIS I
– Introduction to ArcGIS II
– Building Geodatabases I
– Data Collection, Editing, and Production
– Introduction to ArcIMS
Training
• GIS 101 for Managers” workshop
– August 24, 10:00am - 11:30am, Ag, Room 309
– October 27
• $3,000 +/- of ESRI Virtual Campus courses still available
• BGT developing agency charge back policy for GT
training
– Leveraging existing OA HR policy
• BGT will be working with OIT Fiscal to set up charge
back accounts to the agencies
• Integration of Agency Training Coordinators via OA HR
GEARS/GATIR
GEARS/GATIR
• Common Operating View for HS response
systems
• Fosters geospatial data sharing among all levels
of government through the use of XML web
services and OGC standards using ITEP funding
• Adding Robust Geospatial Enhancements to
PEMA’s PEIRS application
• Interoperable essential services of geocoding,
mapping, routing, and search capabilities to be
sharable across state agencies and first
responders through the use of web services
GEARS/GATIR
• Phase 1: OGC Web Services for Data Sharing
• Phase 2: GATIR Portal Modifications for
PEMA/PEIRS
– 2 more portals for Transportation and Health as
follow on’s to this project
– Project is implementing the baseline architecture
and portal web service components
• Phase 3: Reusable Web Service Lightweight
Applications
GEARS/GATIR
• Sixteen (16) of the forty-two (42) OGC web services for
data sharing deployed to GESA staging environment
• Deployment configured architecture for OGC
compatibility
• GATIR user interface skin, logo and functionality of
GATIR were defined
• Geocoding, Mapping, Routing, Spatial Search, and
Plume Modeling functional requirements for Phase 3
were completed
– Lightweight, reusable XML web services that PEIRS
and other agencies will use in the future to build
robust geospatial applications

GEARS/GATIR
• ArcIMS security configured on
development environment for both nonsecure and secure data services and
applications
• Performance testing being conducted
– Response times for non-secure vs. secure
applications and data web services
– Testing implications of having both on the
same web server
Web Services
Web Services
• An application, delivered as a service, that can be
integrated with other web applications/services using
Internet standards
• URL/addressable resource that programmatically returns
information to clients who want to use it, using common
Internet coding standards such as HTTP and XML
• Can be used by multiple agencies (and multiple
applications within an agency) without agencies needing
to devote time and funding to develop the same
application process
Web Services
• BasicAddressMatch
– Enterprise web service allowing an input address
string to be geocoded using TANA/GDT
Matchmaker data
– Native .NET web service callable from an agency
application
– Developers Integration Guide available at
www.gis.state.pa.us
Web Services
• USPSAddressVerification
– Accesses the QAS QuickAddress Pro Web
software and enterprise data for application
address verification capabilities .
– Address verification data is provided specifically
for the United States of America
– Data is updated on a bi-monthly basis
– Staging – 10/24
– Production – 10/31
Web Services
• BGTBoundaryGeocoder
– Returns geography identifier 'within', plus those within
a user-specified distance of the address geocoded
point, plus a confidence value that indicates how close
to a boundary the address was.
– Currently works with school districts and
municipalities, but extensible to any other continuous
polygon geography with a unique field value by adding
additional boundary data layer references to a
database table
– Staging – 8/29
– Developers Integration Guide available at
www.gis.state.pa.us
Web Services
• GATIR Web Services
– Geocoding
• Finds lat/long for a given address or intersection or a centroid
for a city/town
• Performs geocoding of US and Canadian addresses, postal
codes, and city/towns
– Routing
• Provides ability to get routing directions and/or a route
highlight shape between point locations within the continental
US and Canada
• Route highlight shape will contain the lat/long coordinates
defining the route along the roads
• Route shape can be passed into the Mapping Web Service to
create a map highlighting the route
Web Services
• GATIR Web Services
– Spatial Search
• Performs spatial query based on parameters
– Mapping
• Generates a map image file of an area of interest
– Plume Modeling
• Generates a map image file containing a set of plume
polygons based on a set of user specified parameters
– Gazetteer
