ArcGIS Server • Like ArcIMS, and older IMS technology, ArcGIS Server is a means for broadcasting geographic information to be consumed by various types of clients
Map Applications vs Map Services • http://maps.jocogov.org/floodplain/default.aspx • http://gis.marc2.org/TIPmap/
Map Services • Service that can be consumed from various map platforms like ArcMap, ArcExplorer, Google Maps, AutoCAD, Gaia, etc.
Advantages of map services • Combine data from various sources • Data pre-defined / pre-rendered • Data currency
Limitations of map services • Display / Rendering • Lack of selections, buffering, tables, etc… • Performance constrained by bandwidth • Server side • Data locking • Security / Authorization
Now What? • Refine and expand map service offerings • via use, pilot, feedback, etc • Push use in ArcMap, ArcExplorer • Use map services in other map platforms (via WMS) • Google Maps / Earth • Virtual Earth • Gaia
What else? • Geoprocessing services, geocoders, editing • SQL Server 2008 • New spatial data type should support fundamental spatial operations • Other WMS servers • mapdotnet • http://public.mapdotnet.com/MDNSDemos/CityOfMiamiDemo/Default.aspx
