  1. v FME Worldwide User Conference - Vancouver Sep. 21-22, 2006 SpatialDirect in a European Cross Border Project Mark Doering & Christian Heisig, con terra, Germany

  2. con terra • Founded in 1994 • A spin-off of the Institute of Geoinformatics, University of Münster • 65 Employees • mainly computer- & geoscientists • Münster, Germany • Karlsruhe, Germany • Warsaw, Poland • Revenue 2005 • 5,5 Mio. EUR

  3. con terra • Software Development • Using Standard Software Products and Open Source Components • Professional Services • Consulting • Training • Support • Sales of Standard Software Products • ESRI, Safe Software and con terra‘s own technology (e.g. sdi.suite, GISPAD) • Active Members of ISO/TC 211, OGC, INSPIRE • Principal Member of 52°North (www.52north.org)

  4. FME-History of con terra • 1997 – Inquiry for interfaces for DGN, DXF, SHP, MIF • 1997 – First tests of FME 2.0 • 1998 – Use of FME 2.1 in WAGIS-Project • 1998 – Reseller Agreement with Safe Software • 1999 – FME-Betatest-Program • 2001 – First Joint Exhibition on INTERGEO, Germany • 2002 – FME-Service Center for Europe - Strategy • 2003 – Development of the first localized Version of FME (German) • 2004 – First German Speaking User Meeting (www.fme- anwendertreffen.de) • 2005 – Grips-Reader PlugIn • 2006 – CityGML-Writer PlugIn

  5. FME - Service Center • 1st-Level Support for FME-Users • Delivery of Evaluation License Codes • Organization of Joint Exhibits with Safe Software • Hosting the yearly FME User Group Meeting in Germany • Integration of FME technology • Development and Maintenance of the German FME Version • Development of 3rd-Party PlugIns (e.g. GRIPS-Reader, CityGML-Writer) • FME-Professional Services • Training (Consulting) • Support (1st and 2nd Level)

  6. con terra • Professional Services/Software Development Solution

  7. The LoG-In-Project • INTERREG IIIb Project, supported by the European Union • Client Consortium • Intercommunale Leiedal, Belgium • Landkreis Rotenburg-Wümme, Germany • Norfolk County Council, UK • +35 lower city authorities • Vendor Consortium • ESRI-Belux, -Germany, -UK and con terra

  8. Project Goalsof the LoG-In-Project • The main goals of the LoG-IN project are … • to improve the information exchange between local and higher government levels • to build a generic information infrastructure • to focus on service based infrastructures and interoperability • ICT forms an important dimension of the project. LoG-IN wants to understand how to use ICT to (i) Improve local government processes (e-administration); (ii) Improve service development and distribution (e-services) and (iii) Improve public-private interaction (e-society).

  9. Three Tier Architecture • Generic information infrastructure - The Data Tier is the technical framework to store information and to manage access to information • The Tools Tier includes sdi.suite-, ArcGIS Server- and FME technology • The Application Tier refers to the applications that will be built using Data Tier and Tools Tier The investment for the data tier and the tools tier will be shared; the application tier will be developed by each project partner individually

  10. Data Tier Tools Tier Application Tier GIS Clients HTML Clients WMS / WFS SAP/CRM/ERP Three Tier Architecture sdi.suite ArcGIS Server Spatial Direct User Data Information Spatial Data

  11. Tools-Tier sdi.suite coponents • serviceMonitor • securityManager sdi.suite ArcGIS Server Spatial Direct

  12. Tools-Tier ArcGIS Server 9.2 • Solve the GIS-functionality-specific tasks • Scalable  using standards (SOAP/XML) • Perfect for integrating GIS-components into enterprise architectures • Useful for internal and external processes of the governments • Multi user enabled sdi.suite ArcGIS Server Spatial Direct

  13. ArcGIS Server

  14. Tools-Tier FME Server • Harmonization of spatial data • Coordinate-transformation • Format-translation (DXF, Shape, SQD, …) • Quality ensurance (plausibility check, consistency) • ArcSDE-Import • Data Manipulation • Creating a new database modell (ArcSDE) • Automated Geoprocessing on server site • Intergration of spatial information into business processes (statistical analyses ) sdi.suite ArcGIS Server Spatial Direct

  15. Tools-Tier SpatialDirect • Providing Spatial Data (Intranet/Internet) • Download Data (Shape, DXF, SQD) • Upload Data (Shape, DXF into ArcSDE) • Quality ensurance for upload data and the data integration processes sdi.suite ArcGIS Server Spatial Direct

  16. SpatialDirect Web-Browser HTML Interface Download HTTP Request (URL) Result Download-Link Web Server Data Transfer Translation Servlet DXF Shape Qserver API-Call result Monitor QServer result FME API Call FME Server (Server-Mode) FME Mapping Files FME Mapping Files FME Mapping Files FME Mapping Files LoG-In-Spatial Data

  17. FME-Server • Extended version of FME Communication with QServer over TCP/IP-Port • Operates in server mode with mapping files (control files) • Processes requests for data translation • Fully Scalable could be installed on a separate server • Dataflow in both directions (Download/Upload) Translation Servlet Qserver API-Call result Monitor QServer result FME API Call FME Server (Server-Modus)

  18. Q-Server (API) • Management-Layer-Application (queues translation requests) • Implemented in Java (API for Java, C, C++) • Load Balancing (load balances requests if more than one FME is installed) • Performance Monitoring Translation Servlet Qserver API-Call result Monitor QServer result FME API Call FME Server (Server-Modus)

  19. Translation-Servlet (API) • Front-End of SpatialDirect • Translates the requests HTTP request (URL, TCP/IP) • Implemented in Java • Provides results to the Q-Server and Web-Client (URL) • Result implementation into HTML-Templates Translation Servlet Qserver API-Call result Monitor QServer result FME API Call FME Server (Server-Modus)

  20. Step 1Clip: Users select the section of the map they’d like to receive in the format and projection of their choice. Step 2 Zipped: Data is Zipped! Step 3 Shipped: Data is shipped to your desktop! Clip, Zip and Ship! 1 2 3

  22. Conclusion The combination of sdi.suite components, ArcGIS Server and FME/SpatialDirect technology are… • ideal components for a modern SOA • providing complementary functionality • fully scalable (adds processing functionality as needed) • cost effective - no client licenses required
