RESULTS & Mapview

1. RESULTS & Mapview MOF Information Management Group 2005 Module 8 – RESULTS & Mapview

2. Training Agenda What we will cover: Overview presentation RESULTS - Show me the maps? Where is the link to Mapview? What can I do in Mapview? CRS query work and where we are headed to tie to Mapview Questions and Answers

3. Learning Objectives • Know where maps are stored in RESULTS • Know the differences between RESULTS rendered map versus GML in LRDW viewed via Mapview • Understand what ROSC is and its significance to spatial outputs interpretations in Mapview • Have an understanding on how to work some basic features in Mapview

4. Direction for Mandatory ESF Memo on mandatory electronic data submission signed by Tim Sheldan, Assistant Deputy Minister, dated March 14, 2005 “The Executive has endorsed the following recommendation: 1. For private land where Crown has reservation on the timber, non-major applications of forestry licences to cut, and range tenures, ESF will continue to be done internally by Ministry unless the tenure applicants choose to do it themselves. • For all other tenure, ESF should be done by licensees starting June 1, 2005.”

5. RESULTS Data Flow Licensees e-Commerce Submits XML (text) and GML (map) Schema MSRM/MOF Electronic Submission Framework Infrastructure validates information based on (automated process) schema and mapping standards ESF Framework Accepts or Rejects submission Goes into RESULTS and Rejection notice sent back Land Resource to licensees Data Warehouse with confirmation of successful submission

6. RESULTS Opening Spatial Conversion (ROSC) • RESULTS Opening Spatial Conversion – complete • This project used forest cover polygons from veg layer to create opening boundaries. • Where good linkages existed between the RESULTS data and VEG, the polygons were merged to create an opening boundary as the SP image into RESULTS. • This is not considered to the be the “official” SP map. • This linework is an “approximation” linework for spatial analysis at a very rudimentary level. • ROSC had 58% success rate - converted 108,500 of 186,000 openings

7. Licensee ESF Submissions ROSC created RESULTS opening boundaries for 102,000 openings Licensee ESF Submissions RESULTS 186,000 openings RESULTS Opening Spatial Conversion (ROSC) ROSC created linework 58% of existing in RESULTS. As Licensees start submitting their data via ESF, this will either: - provide better updates for existing openings. - provide linework for all new openings. Therefore RESULTS textual data will always be the most complete. Through time, RESULTS spatial data will become more complete.

8. One-way Street Using Spatial Queries – Data Flow CRS/RESULTS Textual resultant based on RESULTS (100% population) Mapview Spatial resultant based on openings with spatial linework (currently subset of population) creates Always confirm for missing spatial information via reports

9. RESULTS vs LRDW • Land Resource • Data Warehouse via • Mapview • GML spatially enabled • Can see multiple openings • Can apply many different layers (business areas) • Contains a subset of RESULTS records. Incomplete records • LRDW data can be accessed and be used by other GIS applications • RESULTS • Rendered Static Image from GML • Can see only one opening at a time • Provides greatest amount of information related to a opening • Contains total population of all basic silviculture obligations

10. Differences in Mapping Tools • Mapview • Gml spatially enabled • View all openings • Can overlay with other data • Can identify information from map • Analysis limited to in-built queries & tools • Free and easy to use • RESULTS • Rendered/static image • View one record at a time • Display only for RESULTS • GIS • All functions identified in Mapview • Full analytical capabilities • Expensive to purchase • High training requirements

11. Demonstration • Getting into RESULTS • Where are the maps • Get to Mapview • Basic functions in Mapview

12. 1-SP Map (ROSC)

13. 2a-ROSC (No internal linework)

14. 2b-Openings with NO ROSC Only 58% Openings have ROSC converted opening linework. The remaining 42% will have no image available in the SP Map image unless there is subsequent submission by licensees.

15. 2c-SP Map (GML)

16. 3-Activity Map (optional)

17. 4-Forest Cover Map

18. 5-Forest Cover Map via gml

19. 6–RESULT Link to Mapview

20. 7-Mapview Image from RESULTS Differences in linework from ROSC vs. FC submission

21. Toolbar Working Menu Footer 8-Mapview Screen Orientation

23. 10-Index Map

24. 11-XY Location Locates where you point to and adds star with Latitude and Longitude coordinates

25. 12-Measure Line

26. 13-Measure Area

27. 14-Map Layers (via Toolbar)

28. 15-Layers Using Grid & Images (Orthophotos)

29. 16-Layers-Using Cutblocks A18667 646 AS1007 Opening ID: 113371 (FTML, DN HV 2003) Exist in Cutblock Exist textual in RESULTS No spatial in RESULTS Opening ID: -535140000 (P87, DN HV 1980) Exist textual in RESULTS Exist spatial in RESULTS due to ROSC

30. 17-Detailed Identify 1. Select Identify Icon in Working Menu. This gives detailed information. 2. Go to Toolbar and select Identify Icon 3. Select an item on map 4. Detailed information associated with the“identified” layer appears.

31. 18-Drill Down Identify 1. Select Drill Down Identify Icon in Working Menu. This gives general for all activated layers. 2. Go to Toolbar and select Identify Icon 3. Select an item on map. 4. Information associated with all layers appear, but more generalised.

32. 19-Saving Your Work Session information is saved on the Mapview server and is removed if not used after 90 days.

33. 20-Printing & Sending your Work

34. 21-Printing & Sending your Work

35. 22-In Built Mapview (prototype) These are prototype queries and they are not working correctly. Please do not use these operationally. They are to illustrate potential functions.

36. Future Directions – CRS Link to Mapview Can click on opening and get url to Mapview

37. Future Directions – CRS Link to Mapview

38. Future Directions • Pass CRS Queries to display in Mapview for all records appearing on a report; • Add any missing layers that are available in the LRDW for display in “Silviculture” business area • Improve printing capabilities • More based on User feedback
