  1. ESRI – Interoperability and Standards Workshop Standards in Action: Thun, 2003-05-21 Kaspar Kundert Managing Director ESRI Geoinformatik AG, Zürich © 05/2003 ESRI Geoinformatik AG

  2. ESRI participates in several standard organizations worldwide and acknowledges that standards help ESRI's users to be successful in their day-to-day GIS operations. The following presentation will give an overview on the company, our products and supported standards with a focus on ISO/TC 211.

  3. ESRI internationally • founded 1969 by Jack Dangermond • Pioneer and Leader in GIS-Development • 1981: ARC/INFO • 2001: ArcGIS (Platform) • > 2‘200 employees • privately held • doing business in 180 Countries • > 1’000’000 users daily

  4. ESRI in Switzerland • opened in 1992 to support ESRI Inc.’s operations in Switzerland • Offices in Nyon and Zurich • Clients in the public and … • Confederation, Cantons, Cities and Communes • the private sector,… • Cablecom, NOK, Syngenta, Swiss Re, Zürcher Kantonalbank, … • amongst International Organizations and Universities • 12 official partners

  5. GIS back in the early nineties… • Geographic analysis • Project oriented • Multiple sources, multiple organizations • Distributed within a community • GIS is unique in merging diverse information • ESRI’s Coverage and Shapefile emerged as industry standard (“de-facto Norm”)

  6. … GIS today • Enterprise GIS • GIS evolving beyond isolated communities • GIS merging with broader IT infrastructures • Enabled by distributed networks and Web Services • Requires international interoperability – standards ESRI’s commitment to Interoperability and Standards supports the transition from Geographic Analysis to Enterprise GIS

  7. Interoperability and Standards for our Users* * e.g. at the ESRI Federal User Conference in Washington, Feb. 03

  8. Developing standards is a lot of work

  9. ESRI committed a large Team to Standards and Interoperability • David Danko - standards organizations manager at ESRI • S.J. Camarata - strategic level (OGC Board of Directors) • Mike Tait - Program manager for Web services and LBS standards • Marwa Mabrouk - chief scientist for open standards • Anna Mikhailova – standards consultant • Several dozen software development staff who track, design and engineer the implementation standards into our products.

  10. ESRI Actively Participates in… ISO – International Organization for Standardization OGC – Open GIS Consortium W3C – World Wide Web Consortium ANSI – American National Standards Institute IHO– International Hydrographic Organization WS-I – Web Services Interoperability Organization OMA– Open Mobile Alliance (formerly LIF) WLIA – Wireless Location Industry Association FGDC – Federal Geographic Data Committee GSDI – Global Spatial Data Infrastructure CEN – Committee for European Normalization DGIWG – Digital Geographic Information Working Group EPSG – European Petroleum Survey Group ACSM – American Congress on Surveying and Mapping ASPRS – American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing STIA – Spatial Technologies Industry Association

  14. Interoperability Program Development Initiatives • Web map test beds 1 & 2 • Geospatial Fusion Service Pilot Project • Civil Works Technology Insertion (CTI) • Conformance and Testing • Object Domain Modeling Support Initiative (ODMS) • Multi-Hazard Mapping Initiative (MMI) • OGC Web Services Initiative (OWS) 1, 1.2 • Open Location Services (OpenLS) • Open GIS Feature Geometry (RFP-12) • Military Pilot Project Phase 1 (MPP-1) • Geospatial Information for Sustainable Development (GISD) • Critical Infrastructure Protection Initiative (CIPI) 1, 2 • ESRI takes special interest in these Initiatives:

  15. Active Participation in the Development of OGC specifications • Simple Feature specification • Catalog Services specification • Grid Coverage Access specification • Geography Mark-up Language (GML) recommendation • OpenLS suite of specifications • Location Utility • Geocoding • Reverse Geocoding • Directory • Routing • Presentation

  16. … participation in these organizations is ok, but why is ESRI spending money on it? • User requirements • Allows users to share information and operate with others • Flexibility – multiple environments • All ESRI’s development has been based on open systems and interoperability • Multiple platforms • Integrated with all major DBMS’ • …

  17. Standards (included) in our products = Standards in Action I. ISO 19115 Metadata Standard: • ArcGIS Desktop: ArcCatalog • Create, edit, and manage ISO metadata • ArcIMS Metadata Services • Create a central, online metadata repository serving ISO metadata • Metadata Explorer: customizable, browser-based means of searching ISO metadata
