Key Transitions in GIS

• Paper maps to digital data- National Spatial Data

Infrastructure development- Started in 1990’s- Took more than a decade to

complete

• Digital data to web services- Started about 3 years ago- Will take years to complete- Both data and model

services

ArcGIS Online and theCommunity Maps Program

• Current map themes- Topographic map- Imagery - Streets- Demographics

• New map themes- Elevation- Hydro conditioned elevation- Precipitation, Land cover, Soils,

+60 other landscape layers- Thousands of demographic layers

Trend toward increased web use

• GIS is slowly moving from local workstations and hard drives to the Cloud- More efficient storage- Fewer tiers of access to manage- On-demand usage- Sharing is easier- It’s everywhere

ArcGIS Online Content

• Ready to Use Data; this means no more:- Downloading tiles - “Stitching” or Mosaicing tiles into seamless

datasets - Fixing the obvious errors; misclassification,

spelling, NULLs, etc. - Not fixing the obvious errors…

End the cycle of redundantly making data ready for GIS
