Key Aspects of a GIS
•
A GIS uses a layer base model for describing the world -
Feature Classes
-
Raster Datasets
-
Attributes and descriptive information
•
A GIS uses maps to visualize and work with Geographic information
•
A GIS has a comprehensive set of analytic tools to perform spatial analysis and data processing
Maps in a GIS
•
Maps are how you -
To compile information
-
For finding patterns
-
For deriving new information using analysis
-
To get status reports
-
To communicate plans and ideas
Sharing Maps •
GIS analysts share information with each other as packages -
•
Packages encapsulate all aspects of a GIS -
Symobology
-
Tools
-
Data
GIS analysts share GIS with everyone through services -
Shared across the web and mobile devices through web maps and apps
-
Web maps define the layers/popups for the services
-
Apps bring the map to life in browsers and devices

Templates for Defense and Intelligence
•
Well designed maps can be shared as templates
•
Esri and our user community share templates on ArcGIS.COM
•
Templates are a complete package of map layers, tools and any source code -
Desktop Application Templates
-
Web Application Templates
-
Mobile Application Templates
Maps layers
•
Maps are composed of layers -
-
Basemaps -
Topographic
-
Imagery
-
Scanned Maps
Operational Layers -
Targets
-
Facilities
-
Units/Equipment Positions
-
Reporting
Principals for good basemaps
•
Basemaps are continuous in an area of interest
•
Basemaps exist at multiple scales
•
Basemaps are a simple way to encapsulate complex data
•
-
Basemaps are presented as a couple of layers
-
Basemaps have simple pop-ups
Basemaps should have a common projection (Web Mercator Aux. Sphere)
Creating Basemaps using Raster Data
Military Raster Data •
Scanned Maps -
•
Georeferenced scanned images of NGA hardcopy products -
Global Navigation Chart (GNC)
-
Jet Navigation Chart (JNC)
-
Operational Navigation Chart (ONC)
-
Tactical Pilotage Chart (TPC)
-
Joint Operations Graphic (JOG)
-
Topographic Line Map (TLM)
-
City Graphics
-
Others
Released in 2 formats •
Compressed ARC Digitized Raster Graphics (CADRG)
•
Enhanced Compressed Raster Graphics (ECRG)
Military Raster Data •
Panchromatic Imagery
•
Controlled Image Base (CIB) -
Orthorectified
-
10 m, 5 m, 1 m resolution
Military Raster Data: Mosaic Datasets
•
New data type within the Geodatabase at ArcGIS 10 to store, manage, view and query imagery
•
Combines the best capabilities of raster catalogs, raster datasets and image server technology
•
Available to all license levels (requires ArcGIS Editor or above to create and add data)
Mosaic Datasets Key Benefits
•
On-the-fly mosaicking
•
Handles imagery of differing resolutions
•
On-the-fly processing (function chains)
•
Usable as a raster dataset for analysis
•
Dissemination through Geodatabase and ArcGIS Server (image service)
•
Time enabled
•
Raster Types enable ingestion of new imagery with associated metadata and simplified processing
Raster Types •
A raster type identifies -
Raster format
-
Processing (function chain)
-
Metadata
•
Applied during data load
•
Military raster types -
NITF
-
DTED
-
CADRG
-

Design objectives for basemaps
•
Basemaps use only a portion of the color gamut to stay in a supporting role within and visual hierarchy of a map. Areas of basemap Colors
