    2. Today Evaluations Review what’s happening next week Geocoding Ponder the future of GIS Geocoding Tutorial (7.1 only)

    3. Geocoding is the process of plotting geographic locations for data stored in tabular format. Address Geocoding is the process of creating geometric representations for locations (such as points) from addresses in a non-spatial, tabular format

    4. Geocoding Examples

    5. Address geocoding The objective is to match nontoplogical addresses in data files (.txt, .dbf, .mdb) called event tables to topological references in a reference theme.

    7. Address geocoding Sources for reference themes US – Census Bureau TIGER (Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing) Canada – Statistics Canada AMF (Area Master Files) UK – Royal Mail PAF (Postcode Address File)

    8. Address geocoding TIGER, AMF, and PAF use different structures, BUT all use a topological model that contains a street network and address ranges for both sides of every street.

    9. Address geocoding The software module that performs the geocoding is usually called the geocoding editor. ArcMap’s geocoding editor is as follows: we select Geocode > Addresses, and then specify 1) an event table, 2) a reference theme, and 3) an output shapefile.

    14. Address Matching in ArcGIS

    15. Address Matching in ArcMap Create a new Address Locator in ArcCatalog - Q: What is an address locator? - A: An address locator “defines the process for translating nonspatial descriptions of places, such as street addresses, into spatial data that can be displayed as features on a map” (GIS Dictionary - ESRI Support, Accessed April 1, 2008)

    24. The future of GIS

    25. “When GIS is the pinnacle of everything, geography loses. What is happening is that many GIS users have no knowledge of geography. With a few clicks of a button a GIS jockey can describe data's distribution but cannot explain why things are the way they are. A monkey can do that work.”

    26. According to Jack Dangermond (2008) “My forecast is that as society becomes familiar with looking at things through geospatial visualization, they will be increasingly interested in services that go beyond simple maps and images. GIS servers managed by public and private GIS organizations will be used to provide these kinds of complementing services.” Baumann: What developments in GIS do you anticipate in the next 10 years? Tomlinson: A lot of the current trends are going to continue. Hardware will continue to get cheaper and more powerful. Software will get easier to use and more robust. I hope the universities will continue to expand their course offerings to meet the growing need for GIS professionals. Senior management will become increasingly aware of the benefits that accrue from the use of GIS in their organizations. We will see more countries adopting national policies, and GIS will be an important part of cabinet-level discussions. I hope that trained geographers will become a part of national decision-making processes. Also, I think that high-level military personnel should have a good knowledge of the capabilities and potential of a GIS. I‘m very positive about the future of GIS. It‘s the right technology at the right time. When I think of all the major problems that we face throughout the world today - overpopulation, food shortages, reduced agricultural production, adverse climate change, poverty - these are all quintessentially geographic problems. These problems are all concerned with the human relationship to the land, and this is where GIS can make its biggest contribution. GIS is the technology of our times and is uniquely suited to assist in solving the problems that we face.Baumann: What developments in GIS do you anticipate in the next 10 years?

Web-based data access ArcIMS (Internet Map Server) provides GIS-based services w/out GIS software “GIS for everyone”! server-based mapping and basic analysis for web mapping applications Business marketing/advertising analysis business intelligence systems Projects integrating time urban growth/planning RS, NOAA environmental change/monitoring Health care/epidemiology (CDC, NIH, State Health Depts) Social sciences (survey, interview, census data) Military (especially GPS) Portable device software/products Large companies w/ out much GIS knowledge Open source GIS Some potentially hot markets?

    29. Where is GIS going? GISday summary of answers: Web-based information sharing so Grandma Jones can use it “do it yourself” online interactive multiple orgs using same GIS As decision making “proof” “prove it” visually - people want to “see” advantages marketing analysis Real-time applications transportation (bus syst., pizza, cell phone “where the hell am I”) medical inter and intranet Security applications “The war is being fought with GIS” Interoperability to share data (ESRI guy) For maintenance of networks (pipes, utilities) Research part will stay same – as needed (ESRI guy) Less emphasis on standards and more on “filters”
