  1. Tracking the Great Whales: Brett K. Lord-Castillo1*, Tomas Follett2, Andrew Weiss2, Bruce R. Mate2, and Dawn J. Wright1 27th Annual ESRI User Conference June 21, 2007 San Diego, California 1 Department of Geosciences, Oregon State University 2 Marine Mammal Institute, Oregon State University An Arc Marine Case Study ESRI Intl. User Conference June 21, 2007

  3. Individual based information • Satellite telemetry • Day length-SST • Fastlock GPS • Pop up archival • Genotyping Mate, 1989; Mate et al. 2005; Shaffer et al. 2005; Block 2005; Block et al. 2005 ESRI Intl. User Conference June 21, 2007

  4. ARGOS Telemetry NOAA Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite Adapted from Liaubet and Malardé, 2003 Austin, McMillan,and Bowen 2003 ESRI Intl. User Conference June 21, 2007

  8. Research Questions How can a geographic information system enhance the research advantages of satellite telemetry? How can the Arc Marine data model be applied to this primary research question? ESRI Intl. User Conference June 21, 2007

  9. Specifications • Retain all raw data, with relationships to derived results and processing choices. • Archive data acquisition quality and other auxiliary information. • Store operational information linked to the appropriate measured data. • Create an analysis audit trail, but do not save analytic snapshots. • Record hardware details are stored for future reference (tag components, manufacturers, raw data bit structure, etc.). ESRI Intl. User Conference June 21, 2007

  10. Gathering your materials Documentation Arc Marine Schema Microsoft Visio UML to XMI Export tools Arc Marine Tutorial Visual Studio Python (2.4 or higher) + IDE Python libraries ESRI Intl. User Conference June 21, 2007

  18. Is an animal just a series of locations? ESRI Intl. User Conference June 21, 2007

  19. Telemetry Advantages • Responsiveness • Data relationships • Autonomous profiling • Continuous coverage ESRI Intl. User Conference June 21, 2007

  20. Animal: A type of vehicle Marine Objects::Vehicle -VehicleID: esriFieldTypeInteger -Name: esriFieldTypeString -Category: esriFieldTypeString Child Class Marine Objects::Animal -Sex: Sex = 3 -Genotype: esriFieldTypeString -SpeciesID: esriFieldTypeInteger -Social: Social = 1 ESRI Intl. User Conference June 21, 2007

  21. Specifications • Archive data acquisition quality and other auxiliary information. • Retain all raw data, with relationships to derived results and processing choices. • Store operational information linked to the appropriate measured data. • Record hardware details for future reference (tag components, manufacturers, raw data bit structure, etc.). • Create an analysis audit trail, but do not save analytic snapshots. ESRI Intl. User Conference June 21, 2007

  22. Other changes • Which other core classes to use? • What core classes to remove? ESRI Intl. User Conference June 21, 2007

  23. Snowflake Schema ESRI Intl. User Conference June 21, 2007

  24. Solving Multiple Point Types ESRI Intl. User Conference June 21, 2007

  25. And more subdimensions ESRI Intl. User Conference June 21, 2007

  26. Other “sheets” • Record hardware details for future reference (tag components, manufacturers, raw data bit structure, etc.). • Create an analysis audit trail, but do not save analytic snapshots. ESRI Intl. User Conference June 21, 2007

  27. Development considerations • Platform • Language(s) • Programming to the core objects ESRI Intl. User Conference June 21, 2007

  28. Python Recommendations • WxPython (GUI) • IronPython (.NET Implementation) • Numpy (Statistical) • Matplotlib (Matlab functions) • Makepy/pywin32 (COM access) • GeoEco (MGET Package) • Use the community! ESRI Intl. User Conference June 21, 2007
