ArcGIS for Professionals_____________________
q
Fuses
aspects of ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcScene, and ArcGlobe
q
64
bit, multi-threaded, faster 2D and 3D graphics engine
q
Ribbon
interface
q
Multiple
views
q
Integrated
2D and 3D editing
q
Temporal
and 3D visualization capabilities
q
Project-based
q
Tight
integration with ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Server (Pro is authoring platform)
q
Will
be released Fall 2014 with
10.3 release (expect beta 5 in August and pre-release in September)
q
For
the foreseeable future you will need to run Map and Pro side-by-side because
Pro lacks considerable functionality.
q My inference: Despite
what ESRI staff say, ArcGIS Pro will eventually replace ArcMap (ArcCatalog,
ArcScene, and ArcGlobe). ESRI expects
that its customers will “dial in” their conversion to Pro, not “turn on a
switch”.
q
Question: Is there any reason for
us to be (or not to be) an early adopter of ArcGIS Pro?
q “The
ArcGIS Vision” … Web GIS … a new way of thinking for an old dog like me
3.
SQL Server
2014_____________________________
q
No
major spatial enhancements
q
More
of a service pack that a new release
q
Not
supported by ArcGIS until 10.3
q
“For
data to be open it must be discoverable, explorable, accessible, and collaborative” … Jared Shoultz, Health
Technology Specialist at Esri
4.
Temporal Data______________________________
q
Impressive
capabilities in ArcMap and Pro for visualizing temporal data … especially, the
integration of table/graph/map.
q
In
ArcGIS Pro, temporal data was part of the design from very beginning (e.g.,
ArcGIS Pro bookmarks honor space and time).
q Rather than snapshot archiving, we need to build “in/out” (“effective/retired”)
date/time fields into our editing FCs so that we can use the temporal
analysis/visualization capabilities in ArcMap and Pro.
5.
Mining for Space-Time
Patterns_______________
q
“Emerging hot spot analysis”
6.
Gamification________________________________
q
Gamification
is the use of game thinking and game mechanics in non-game contexts to ...
engage, teach, entertain, measure, and to improve the perceived ease of use of
information systems.
q
Techniques
that “leverage people's natural desires for competition, achievement, status,
self-expression, altruism, and closure.”
q
Points,
badges, levels, leaderboards, challenges
q
Used
in design/development of a Heritage Tourism phone app in Missouri … see video (4:56)
q
Question: Is gamification relevant
to how we design applications?
7.
Story Maps_________________________________
q “Story maps combine interactive maps with text, photos, video, and
audio to tell the story of a place, event, issue, trend, or pattern in a
geographic context. They are are
designed for general, non-technical audiences.” … http://storymaps.arcgis.com/en/
q
“Don’t just make your data open, make
it understandable (i.e., interpret it)” … Allen Carroll, ArcGIS Online Content Program
Manager. Read interview with Allen Carrol …
q
Examples
q
In
many ways the Tiger
Tracker app Dan wrote for MARC is a “story map”.

apps.”
q
Question: Do I understand correctly
that Story Maps will eventually be available via Portal (of ArcGIS Server)?
q
Ideas
for Story Maps we could build:
·
Alternative
to the Programs and Services section on the Home tab of MyRC?
·
Locations/Descriptions
of Multi-Service Centers, Libraries, Hospitals, …
·

9.
The role of a GIS professional?________________
q
According
to Jared Shoultz, Health Technology Specialist at Esri, it is …
·
To
geo-enable the organization
·
To
push GIS capabilities to the enterprise
·
To
encourage/enable others in the organization to think spatially (“consider
geography”)
q
Question: Who in my organization are
capable of thinking geographically and actually doing spatial analysis and
map-making on their own (i.e., an innovator that I could teach to fish)?
