  1. The Many Interactive Maps of WVGES West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey Presented by: John M. Bocan

  2. Some History The Coal Bed Mapping Project spearheaded the need for our own in-house web services. PTTC regional oil and gas through NRCCE at WVU and created by the WVU Tech Center and is still used today. ArcView IMS 2.x on two SGI IRIX boxes of which one housed the web portion. Eventually it went to ArcIMS 3.1 Dell Precision 340 machine with 1 GB RAM and an Intel Pentium 4 CPU 1.90 GHz with Windows 2000 All were shapefile based and using HTML image server. ArcSDE was implemented and fully operational in 2005. Coal data now pulled from an Oracle database.

  3. Why no ArcGIS Server yet? • Many ArcIMS services • Most ArcIMS services tied into ArcSDE/Oracle • Concerns for custom, in-house applications • Staff busy with other projects • Financial and budgetary concerns • Concerns with earlier version of ArcGIS Server

  4. Current Discussions and Possible Plans • With the addition of some new Federally sponsored projects—hardware and software upgrades. • New project requirements for WMS services, ability to have mash-ups, etc. • Concerns for serving the public with better means • More people accustomed to Google Maps • “Slippy map” vs “refresh” • More templates and possibilities with the Javascript and FLEX APIs. • Some work already in progress on an ArcGIS Server development machine. • Need to fully develop and implement a “battle plan” among all sections of the Survey.

  5. Current Setup • Dell Server, Windows 2003 Server with ArcSDE and ArcIMS 9.3.1 • We have 93 total IMS services running: • 76 individual coal beds • 2 coal “conglomerate” services (e.g., All Coal, Pocahontas Formation) • 4 oil and gas services (past few years) • 1 topographic index • 5 “service” maps (i.e., overview maps) • 5 testing or prototypes • Of the 93: • 3 incorporate data and mapping from other states (PTTC, TBR, ATG) • 8 are ArcMap Image Services (obviously the first candidates for transition)

  8. CBMP: Data Layers • elevation control points, • thickness control points • structural contours, • geological discontinuities, • mining extents unknown • coal map boundaries • underground mined coal • mined and remaining coal areas, • total bed thickness, • net coal thickness, • percent parting, • county lines, • 7.5-minute quadrangle outlines, • mosaic of the USGS 7.5-minute topographic maps.
