GIS in the Coming Decade Clint Brown ESRIFebruary 2001
State of GIS • Trends & User Requirements • ESRI Plans • ArcGIS • ArcIMS • Futures
Scalable DBMS's Files DBMS • DBMS • Scalable • Extended types • Affordable Information management migrating from files to DBMS
Platforms • Distributed • Networked • Interoperable New clients Network • Loosely Coupled Networks • Server-based • Range of client types Desktop
Two Server Based Platforms • Sun ONE/Java/UNIX Architecture • Open • EJB • Write once, run everywhere • Microsoft .NET Architecture • Advanced Development Environment • Strong Integration • Both support all client types
Platform Support Clients Services Internet Server Technology Wireless Browser (HTML) GIS Spatial Server XML Java ArcIMS Services ArcGIS Services ArcGIS Desktops XML used for communication
Mobile Computing Integration of Wireless Technologies • Lightweight Hardware • GPS • Telecommunications The Mobile Society Will Take GIS With It
All data Documented Metadata Repositories Catalog Services Metadata For GIS Metadata will drive data sharing ArcCatalog Search, View, And Edit on the Internet XML Standard Based on FGDC/ISO Standards

1. Smart, interactive, functional Map • 2. A set of tools and procedures • A language to perform tasks DBMS Data Files 3. A well-managed system of information Three views of GIS
Advanced Geometry • Points, Lines, Polygons, and Surfaces • Single and Multi-part Features • Flexible coordinates • XY • XYZ • XYZM • True curves • Continuous coverage (not tiled)
Topology in GIS • Topology for • Shared geometry • One set of lines, many sets of features • Networks • Relationships • Important to represent “systems” of features • Land records, Census, Networks …
GIS Data Models Also Need • Tables of Attributes • Rasters (Grids and geo-referenced images) • Tins
ESRI Work Based on Trends, Standards, and User Requirements
Product Vision • Maintain and Grow Existing Products • Single Scaleable Architecture • Common Data Model • Multiple Complementary Products • Base on Industry Standards • IT Compliance • Migration Via Incremental Releases
