What is a mashup? Mapping API (google maps, bing maps, etc) • a mashup is a web page or application that combines data or functionality from two or more external sources to create a new service. • The term mashup implies easy, fast integration, frequently using open APIs and data sources to produce results that were not the original reason for producing the raw source data. • Source: Wikipedia. Spatial Data Web application
Oregon Explorer Mashups • Why Oregon Explorer uses mashups: • Focuses around a particular topic theme. • Engaging, interactive interface. • More flexibility in how to present maps and content.
Measure 37 Viewerhttp://oeapp.oregonexplorer.info/M37Viewer • Explores Measure 37 claims with the ability to overlay informational layers. • Virtual Earth/Bing Maps- JavaScript API • Overlay Web Map Service (WMS) from ArcIMS • Transparency slider, legend • Create active objects (pushpins, polygons). • Uses GET_FEATURES call to ArcIMS to draw polygons. • 3D Functionality.
ORWAP- Oregon Rapid Wetland Assessment Protocolhttp://oregonexplorer.info/wetlands/ORWAP/ • Creates a habitat sensitivity score for a selected point. • Uses ArcGIS server map and geometry services. • Buffers selected point and queries intersection of layers. • Uses Bing Maps JavaScript Extension for ArcGIS server.
Oregon Watershed Restoration Toolhttp://oregonexplorer.info/OregonRestorationVisTool/ • Displays restoration project information by basin and watershed councils. • ArcGISServer 9.3.1 mapping backend • REST and SOAP used for getting layer data and overlaying WMS. • DOJO JavaScript class library for more interactive user interface.
Components of Web GIS 1. Spatial Data • Shapefiles/ Geodatabases (ESRI) • KML/KMZ (Google Earth) • GeoRSS/GeoJson 2. Mapping Server • ArcIMS / ArcGIS Server • GeoServer • MapServer 3. Web servers • Apache Tomcat • IIS (windows) • 4. Mapping Application • ESRI WebADF/JS APIs • Google Maps API /ArcGISExtension • Google Earth API • Bing Maps API /ArcGIS Extension • Bing Maps Silverlight API (Microsoft) • Flex (Adobe) / ArcGIS Extension • Yahoo Maps API • OpenLayers API • ArcGIS for iPhone API coming soon. • 5.
