Datta – Week 4

CHAPTER 5: ArcGIS Enterprise

  • Used for more private (but still shareable) instances of WebGIS
  • Uses User-managed infrastructure, such as user-managed hosting
  • Allows for geoprocessing, which is not offered in public GIS.
  • Combines the ArcGIS portal and server to work.
  • To run an ArcGIS enterprise server:
    • Server must either be licensed as GIS server standard
    • ArcGIS portal must be connected to the GIS server
    • Data Store should be configured as a relational database and a tile cache
    • Web Adaptor must be installed in one instance of ArcGIS enterprise
  • There are various tile layers which are pretty self explanatory from the title, Raster Tile, Vector Tile, Feature Tile
  • ArcGIS data will either be referenced or copied.

 

APPLICATION: This is obviously very useful for enterprises, but I remember Krygier mentioning that ArcGIS can be used for fictional cartography, so my immediate thought was to use something like this for a DnD game, weirdly?

 

CHAPTER 6: Real Time GIS

  • Real Time GIS is used to handle that which moves change or appear continuously and would need constant updating
  • ArcGIS Velocity, ArcGIS mission
  • Space-time data can be separated into several categories
    • Moving data (things that are actively moving as data is projected)
    • Discrete (events that happen and need to be reported instantly)
    • Stationary (stays still, value changes)
    • Change (i assume you know what change is)
  • Time is usually measured in start point and duration time
  • IOT: network of objects used to survey data
  • Smart City: A city which can monitor in real time resources and data and help manage the city effectively
  • Real time GIS (Geoevent and Velocity) digests data, processes it, and presents the data in real time, unlike other systems which require manual input
  • Two ways to do real time: Poll and Push
    • Poll asks the server for new data once in a certain amount of time, usually 30 seconds
    • Push pushes data from stream services to a web client (automating the manual input?)
  • Dashboards can be used to quickly present real time data to people who need it
  • Mission is like a Real-Time GIS mixed with what I think is a task manager and messageboard?

 

APPLICATION: Something like mission, but for students? Make a university map (internal and external if possible??) and allow them to input assignments they have to do and the rooms they have to turn it into. Would be most helpful for freshmen in the labyrinth that is SCSC in my opinion.
