  2. The Oregon Coastal Atlas • The Oregon Coastal Atlas is a web depot for traditional and digital information used in decision-making relating to the Oregon Coastal Zone. • It is a coastal managers web site which provides background information for different coastal systems, access to interactive mapping, geo-spatial analysis tools, and direct search & download access to natural resource data sets relating to coastal zone management.

  3. Functional Design • What will people do with the Atlas? SearchLearnUseMap

  4. Let’s take a Tour... www.coastalatlas.net

  5. Search For users who know what they want GIS Layers Metadata Archive Status

  6. Learn For Users who are curious to know more Information about: Coastal Settings Coastal Topics Technical Stuff

  7. Tools For Users who want to apply what they know Planners Public Researchers Contributors

  8. Maps For Users who want landscape context Prepared Maps Custom Maps Detail Information Personal Output

  9. Cross Functions: Data Retrieval

  10. Cross Functions: Data Visualization

  11. More on Tools… www.coastalatlas.net

  12. What is a Tool? • Something built specifically to aid a user with the completion of a repetitive task, e.g. a shovel, a chainsaw, a bulldozer • In the context of a Coastal Atlas, different kinds of users have different abilities and different kinds of “tasks” they are dealing with resolving:- e.g. a homeowner vs. a Local Planner

  13. Archive Search Tools • For catalogues of like data • Results may be linked to from multiple applications • Examples: GIS Archive, COMCI, Coastal Photo Database

  14. Report Tools • Serve templated reports containing text, images, maps, charts, data, download links etc. • Initiated by a user selection or query • Results may be from, or lead to multiple data sources • Examples: Rocky Shores Inventory, Coastal Access Facilities, Beach Water Quality Reporting, Beach Morphology Monitoring

  15. Issue-centric Tools • Demonstrate use of data & science to answer questions that repeat in space or time • Examples: Erosion Hazards Tool Suite, Watershed Tool

  16. Story-centric Tools • Method for highlighting unique datasets

  17. Atlas Usage to Date Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Downloads: 42% Personalized Custom Maps 33% “Raw” GIS data from the archives 25% PDF reports and other maps 44% of all activity is in the interactive map tools

  18. Current & Future Plans • Continue to migrate useful existing datasets into Atlas Archives • Integrate new Topic modules and tools as needed • Expand & Improve Archives Search • Update design & some design-related functionality • Update map interface and improve cartography • Update backend & unify content management schemes
