  • Chapter 2: the Arcgis Server Architecture
    The ArcGIS Server 2 architecture ArcGIS Server is an object server for ArcObjects. The ArcGIS Server software system is distributed across multiple machines. Each aspect of ArcGIS Server plays a role in managing GIS functionality and data and making that functionality useful to end users. This chapter provides an overview of the ArcGIS software architecture and details of the ArcGIS Server architecture, specifically the various aspects of the server and how they interact, including: • the role of the GIS server • the server object manager • server object containers • GIS server objects • the Web application server Chapter2.pmd 27 10/12/2004, 4:01 PM ARCGIS SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE Before discussing the details of the ArcGIS Server architecture, it’s important to discuss the ArcGIS system architecture as a whole. The ArcGIS architecture has evolved over several releases of the technology to be a modular, scalable, cross- platform architecture implemented by a set of software components called ArcObjects. This section focuses on the main themes of this evolution at ArcGIS 9 and introduces the reader to the libraries that compose the ArcGIS system. The ArcGIS software architecture supports a number of products, each with its unique set of requirements. ArcObjects components, which make up ArcGIS, are designed and built to support this. This chapter introduces ArcObjects. ArcObjects is a set of platform-independent software components, written in C++, that provides services to support GIS applications on the desktop in the form of thick and thin clients and on the server. For a detailed explanation of COM see the As stated, the language chosen to develop ArcObjects was C++; in addition to Microsoft COM section of Appendix D, this language, ArcObjects makes use of the Microsoft Component Object Model.

  • GIS Migration Plan
    Dane County Land Information Office July 2003 Dane County Enterprise GIS Migration Plan The Dane County Land Information Office is committed to the development of GIS technology to aid in the delivery of information and services to county departments, communities, and the residents of our county. As part of our ongoing efforts to develop a robust and efficient GIS infrastructure, the Land Information Office has begun a project to migrate to a next generation geographic information system. Workplan activities include an upgrade of the technical infrastructure (hardware and software), implementation of new ESRI GIS products, a review and re-modeling of enterprise GIS datasets, workflow analysis and process changes to maximize service delivery and staff efficiencies. This plan summarizes migration activities to-date, as well as outlining a workplan to complete the remaining tasks. ESRI's next generation product line revolves around three primary products: ArcGIS, ArcSDE and ArcIMS. ArcGIS and its related extensions and modules comprise the desktop GIS software suite. ArcSDE supports spatial and tabular database integration. ArcIMS supports the delivery of web-based geographic information and map services. The Dane County ArcGIS migration project includes converting current ArcInfo users to the ArcGIS product. The longer term goal will be to move the viewing, printing, and basic GIS operation users to ArcIMS applications that can be run from a browser or thin client. Current ArcView 3.2 users will be migrated to either thin client ArcIMS applications or ArcGIS 8.x software. All applications will utilize geographic information stored in ArcSDE. Training requirements will be focused on technical staff to build and maintain applications with user friendly tools to minimize intense end user training.

  • I Work for Natural Resources Canada in the Canada Centre for Mapping
    I work for Natural Resources Canada in the Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation, where as a technologist and developer, I have been supporting the development of geo-standards, spatial data infrastructure, or “SDI”, and open spatial data for about 10 years. 1 Today, I’m going to talk about the community, concepts and technology of the Maps for HTML Community Group. The objective of the Maps for HTML initiative is straightforward: to extend HTML to include Web map semantics and behaviour, such as users have come to expect of Web maps. 2 Before getting in to the technology discussions, I think it’s really important to back up and take stock of the situation facing mapping professionals today. 3 Paul Ramsey is a leader in the open source geospatial software development community who currently works for the CartoDB consumer web mapping platform. In a recent presentation to a meeting of Canadian government mapping executives, Paul told us that government mapping programs were no longer relevant. In fairness, Paul did say sorry for having to say that. You know, sometimes it is hard to hear the truth, and I would have to say that Paul wasn’t completely wrong, so what I really want to say in response to Paul is ‘thank you’. 4 Thank you for the opportunity to talk about a subject that has been in the back of my mind not just since I began promoting standards for geospatial information and Spatial Data Infrastructure, and open spatial data, but since the first day I did ‘View Source’ on an HTML page containing a Web map and did not see anything that could possibly produce a map.
