  1. Deploying a VGI application in one day Tom Brenneman

  2. Agenda • What is VGI • Social media and geo-location • Working with crowd sourced data • Templates • ArcGIS in the cloud

  3. What is VGI? • Volunteered Geographic Information • Capture content from the community • Two aspects • Geographic and Map-based data collection • ArcGIS, Web Maps • Geo-location data collection via social networks • Twitter, Youtube, Flickr

  4. How can VGI be used? • Situational awareness • Open government New Zealand Earthquakes Citizen Service Request

  5. Twitter Micro-blogging, messaging and networking platform • Post messages (status updates) • Follow others • Others can follow you Service for sharing information Anyone, Anything, Anywhere, Anytime, Any Device

  6. Examples of status messages - “tweets” I noticed a brush fire off the 10FWY south of the 91FWY interchange. Anyone dispatched yet? #LAFires Traffic accident off of the 38FWY near Big Bear Lake. #SoCalTraffic Anyone know where there’s still parking available for the baseball game tonight? #OregonEvents Pseudo-geotweets

  7. Anatomy of a tweet What’s happening? Downtown LA. Traffic accident on I10. Backed up for miles. Anyone know how the I60 is? #Traffic 34.0636 -117.5922 To whom? Geolocation?

  8. GeoTagging Tweets • Applications can append coordinates • Users must geo-enable(opt-in) accounts string url = http://api.twitter.com/statuses/update.xml; string status = “At the IGIC conference learning lots of cool things… #IGIC2011”; string request = string.Format("lat={0}&long={1}&status={2}", lat, lon, status); ‘ Geolocation enabled </user> <geo xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss"> <georss:point>34.056758 -117.196006</georss:point> </geo> </status> ‘ Geolocation not enabled </user> <geo /> </status> Learn more about geotagging tweets

  9. Twitter Service APIs • Search • ATOM or JSON • REST • Streaming Free, simple, access from many clients (HTTP) Authentication, rate limiting, whitelisting Use API to integrate tweet + location into GIS Learn more about the Twitter API

  10. What other services can be used? • Filckr • Can expose geotag • content tags • Youtube • Map location • content tags • Ushahidi • SMS, MMS, web form • Opensource • event specific • Others?…

  11. How to integrate with crowd sourced data? • Client side • Web application queries geo-location content • Benefits • Easy / Fast to deploy • No data management • Server side • Script integrate community content into GDB • Benefits • Can support many more clients • More options for filtering content • Violation of twitter terms of use

  12. Quick start templates • Template include everything you need to build a solution • Application, maps, sample data • Social Media/VGI App – Version 2 • Geo-location data collection via social networks • Twitter, Youtube, Flickr, Ushahidi • Citizen Service Request Template for ArcGIS 10 • Geographic and Map-based data collection • Community uses the map to add data

  13. But how can I deploy this template in 1 day?

  14. What is Amazon Web Services (AWS)? • A Cloud Infrastructure • Data centers around the world • Accessible via Web Services • EC2 (Elastic Cloud Computing) • Cloud Watch (Monitoring) • Cloud Front (Web Content Delivery) • Virtual Private Network (Secure networks) • Simple (S3) and Block (EBS) storage (Storage) • Following a ‘pay as you go’ business model http://aws.amazon.com We will sometimes refer to it as ‘the Amazon Cloud’

  15. Advantages of running Networks ArcGIS Server on Amazon EC2 Storage • Simplified management • Preconfigured machine images • Monitoring, back-ups, scaling • Real time access to massive amounts of • Computing power • Network bandwidth • Storage • No long term investments in infrastructure • Elastic computing Computing

  16. Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) • A virtual image that works in the Amazon Cloud • A cookie-cutter approach for configuring servers • OS + Software + Data • ESRI provided AMIs: ArcGIS Server 10 AMI Windows 2008 64 bit ArcGIS Server GIS Services Microsoft SQL Server Express (ArcSDE enabled) ArcGIS Desktop 100Gb of storage (optional) Enterprise Geodatabase AMI Windows 2008 64 bit PostgreSQL 8.3.0 (ArcSDE enabled) 100Gb of storage (optional)

  17. How do I get the data out of the cloud? • FTP / Copy paste • Geodatabase replication • With on-premises existing infrastructure • Cloud to on-premise • On-premise to cloud • Two way synchronization • Cloud = input • On-premise = QA Geodatabase replication Over http/s

  18. Pulling it all together * Training / Skills ArcGIS Server + Amazon EC2 Templates Customize as needed for phase 2 *
