Datta – Week 3

CHAPTER 3: ArcGIS Experience Builder

  • Allows you to customize your GIS experience
  • Mobile Focussed, 2D and 3D
  • Creates HTML and Java apps without programming
  • Templates, Widgets, and themes all available to make it even easier
  • Easy to share and upload onto the web
  • Widgets are the same sort of website widgets you’d expect
  • Unique to ArcGIS’ experience builder is the ability to port ArcGIS Online or portals to ArcGIS online within the website innately
  • You can also code your own widgets if you know HTML

CHAPTER 4: MOBILE GIS

  • Mobile GIS has the added benefit of portability location awareness, as well as real time information and data collection ease
  • Mobile tends to have less bandwidth and RAM space so more complicated GIS projects can’t be ported
  • You can make feature layers viewable and editable by multiple different people, which allows data integrity while also keeping the feature available for editing
  • Can be made in browsers or in native applications or both at once
  • ArcGIS Fieldmaps combines various different ArcGIS products and allows for a team to use GIS for field work of any kind
  • Fieldmaps can collect user data, can allow people to download maps for offline use, etc
  • Can track mobile users in real time
  • ArcGIS Survey123 is a survey product, presumably connected to location for GIS usage
  • ArcGIS Indoors mobile allows you to map the inside of buildings like any other GIS map
  • ArcGIS Companion is a generic app for ArcGIS
  • LBS – service on mobile which considers the device’s geographic location
  • VGI is spatial data collected by citizens as opposed to professionals
  • VR is a simulated 3D map in space

 

APPLICATION:

  • Using the Experience Builder and Mobile GIS could make something similar to websites/apps like Inaturalist or Merlin Bird ID where users submit data which can be mapped spatially by scientists. I think both would be necessary for this.
