Presentation Transcript

  1. Phase 1 • Very specific, narrow focus • Google Maps API • Moved to LNO • Your view into SiteDB • Contact info, detailed site description, data links, site boundaries, Clim/HydroDB gage locations, weather, background imagery from Google. Downloads KML and shapefiles • Demo • www.lternet.edu/sites1

  2. LTERMaps Phase 2 • Detail site GIS information using a common interface: • Access thru click on Phase 1 balloon (initially) • Sites can link directly from their website • Provide a common interface for all sites • Quality cartography, consistent across sites • Quality output imagery • Access to best available aerial imagery • Easy to use, won’t need to be a GIS expert

  3. Phase 2 specs • Detail site GIS information using a common interface: (from GIS Committee Basic Requirements) Consistent across all site: • DEM/bathymetry (terrain) • Roads • Hydrography • Structures • Remotely sensed imagery • Site specific/more detailed/better accuracy data • Core research plot locations (siteDB?) • , site, Study id, type, core area, EML links?, lat/long, • ? On formating for ArcServer and connections to sitedb? • ?do we need a SDE database? Flat files? How do we manage this • SDE…@lno or at a site? Andrews, Bonanza, Georgia Coastal, Baltimore • Getting a data download from the metacat (EML) to test for study locations • Coordinate Clim/HydroDB and SiteDB for location data • Ability to add climate data not in Clim/HydroDB • Process of getting local data in both initially and for updates.. • LTER Domains? Need to check with PI’s and look at Neon examples • Frequency of updates for different data sets • Looking for the GIS group to come up with recommendations for GIS points (decimal degrees to six places)

  4. Phase 2 Functionality Priorities: Standard GIS/visualization functionality: zoom/pan moving around the map Upload/add your own data? Want it easy to do links to websites/data/webcams/etc identify (attributes) queries (categories, future topic) Printing: presentation quality analysis? talk to PI’s about, Graphing capability (Clim/HydroDB) searching Clip/zip/ship (not a priority)

  5. Infrastructure Ideas • Map web services: use existing sources • Centralized @LNO with remote manager access • ArcMap templates for symbology/cartography • Common look/theme for all sites • Sites can add additional data • Should be easy for LTER IM’s/GIS folks to contribute data. • Run on multiple browsers • Interface that sites can use • ..update in one place • Ability to imbed applications/service into their website • Incorporate additional modules/info into SiteDB and make the data available thru this application. • Clim/HydroDB, NISAC modules. Etc… • Pre-caching for optimization, data updates, etc…

  6. Thursday VTC 9:00am Mtn. Time • Next steps: Site IM’s will need to: • Update SiteDB • Verify site location/boundary, logo and links • Update 2007 GIS survey • Expect a Data request in the near future • Harvest gage locations directly from Clim/HydroDB when migrated to LNO and provide a link to attributes of this data. • Planning to link to EcoTrends data at some point

  7. LTERMaps To Do List • Send out e-mails to IMs (theresa) • Phase 1: • link on main site page (Marshall) • Application on individual site pages (basic level)(Marshall) • LTER newsletter article: Jonathan/Adam • Databits: more technical Jonathan/Adam • Science council meeting in May demo…(Jonathan) • Update boundaries (theresa) • Update Clim/HydroDB gages (theresa) • Domains for LTER sites: discussion for PI’s (everyone to talk to site PI’s about) • Links to remotely sensed imagery library (John VC)

  8. Phase 2 • Load ArcServer @ LNO (Jamie) • Evaluate existing web services for overall base layers (jamie national map, on-line services, free stuff) document and provide links from portal • Base layers plus climate (adam) • EML points: Inigo to provide Theresa with a file… • Decide on how to store data and how to organize web services (central vs site specifics) • Need to identify pro’s cons of options

  9. Options: • Data format • Shape files • Geodatabases (file) • SDE • LNO • At another site (AND or BNZ) • Rasters and images (sde or raster catalog) • Data organization • Centralized layers (network wide) vs 26 individual site layers • Map/Image Services • Network level and site level

  10. functionality • ArcMap templates • Look at P2erls.net/crowue_site.php for search ideas • What do we want to search on? • Look at SiteDB and make recommendations. (jonathon) • Look at code for search (Jamie) • Upload/add site data

  11. Housekeeping • Write a report on our meeting • Products: • Video • LTERmaps application • ArcGIS Server running @ LNO • Network news/data bits articles • Phase 2: Arcnews • Posters? • ESRI Conference (Theresa) • Science Council Meeting (demo/poster) (May) • IM Meeting

  12. Bob’s project • Export to pdf sample: Adam • Proposal: Adam • Bob is sending Theresa sample maps • Theresa to put on ftp
