  1. The Evolution of Geomatics in NB:Where we’ve been!Where we’re headed? Dave FinleyNB Lung Assoc. – Nov. 2005

  2. The evolution of Geomatics System life cycles Web mapping Concluding thoughts…… Discussion Points

  3. GIS Evolution / Growth & Overcoming Barriers Web-Based Services Ubiquitous GIS Application-Specific End-User 2000s Internet Application-Specific Professional GIS/IS Technology 1990s PC Desktop Time Dedicated GIS Expert 1980s Workstation Dedicated CS Professional Mainframe 1970s + # of Users + GIS Explosion

  4. Computer evolution Cost Software complexity User friendly interface Customized applications Technical resources …….. Evolution:Technology

  5. Evolution:Cost of Data $5-7 / map (Paper) 1980 $100 / 10k window (digital) 1990 $10 / 10k window (Internet) 2000 2005 $0 (Internet)

  6. Geology Claims Remote Sensing Soils Oil Geophysics Property Orthophotos Ownership Roads Hydrology Elevation Gas Geochemistry Forestry Environmental Evolution:Availability of Data On-line Access Electronic Paper

  7. Topographic Base Mapping Orthophotos Property Base Mapping Attribute Information One-stop Shop www.snb.ca Evolution:Distribution Media On-line Distribution Diskette & Tape Fax Microfiche Paper

  8. License agreement • Restrictive • Complicated • Time consuming Usage types • Single use • For profit use • Killer app Evolution:Licensing /Restrictions Unrestricted Use

  9. Data formats Coordinate reference system & projections File size File management strategies Bandwidth …….. Evolution:Technical Issues

  10. Evolution:Stakeholder Base 1970 1990 2000 2005 Surveying & Mapping Environment & Emergency Business Geographics Socio-Economic Resource Based

  11. Evolution:User Base 1970 1990 2000 2005 Professionals Computer Specialists Application Specialists GIS Technical Specialists Citizens

  12. Digital Mapping Data Collection Data Analyses Application Development Data Conversion Evolution:Organizational Focus 1980 1990 2000 2005

  13. All that to say ………We’re operating in a rapidly changing environmentandit will only continue…………so get used to it…….

  14. The System Lifecycle Graph

  15. The Lifecycle Graphand the “S” curve

  16. ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? Where Are We?On the geomatics lifecycle curve

  17. Where Were We?On the geomatics lifecycle curve 1995 - 1997 1990s 1980s 1970s 1960s

  18. Where We’re At? 2004 ?

  19. What changes can we introduce to extend life cycle positively? 2004 ? NB Geomatics review ! Web mapping? WMS / WFS…? XML / GML…?

  20. Technology AdoptionLife Cycle Timing is everything…. ….From Moore – Crossing the Chasm RISK Innovators Laggards Late Majority Early Adopters Early Majority

  21. Evolution:Web Mapping: 1996 2001 2006 ‘97 ‘98 ‘99 ‘00 ‘02 ‘03 ‘04 ‘05 Technology GML XML Spatial Fusion Open Cite WMS Google WFS Arc/IMS Systems RPIIS PLANET Enhanced Browser Proof of concept Test Server Coord WM ????? DNR GNB ELG DPS CIPA Other.. F’ton NB Lung S J

  22. Technology AdoptionLife Cycle RISK PLANET F’ton / SJ ELG / DNR DPS Coordinated Web Mapping Coord – PoC WM - Server Cipa / NB Lung ?

  23. Evolution:Coordinated Web Mapping • CIG forum - WMS identified as issue • GIMAC web mapping workshop • Define coordinated web mapping • Determine what is required in GNB • Determine cost to implement & maintain • Alternatives ……..

  24. Evolution:Coordinated Web Mapping • Pre-requisites • Champion • Top level commitment • Business case • Formal agreements • Roles responsibilities, funding, etc….. • Components • Data • Functionality • Security / administration • Charge model ?

  25. Evolution will continue…… Geomatics review Identify issues Develop 5 year vision Prioritize issues Balance with environmental realities Fiscal realities Organizational will Develop action plan Implement Food for Thought… Where does Web Mapping fit in ? Time will tell……..
