WorldWaterOnline Charlie Frye, Mapping Center Team Niger-HYCOS USGS
Jack + David = Big Vision • Bringing this big vision into focus… Start with global: • World Meteorlogical Organization (WMO: http://www.wmo.int) • World Hydrological Cycle Observing System (WHYCOS: http://www.whycos.org) • Sharper focus = Not about data • We’ve got so much data • The future is in applications that make that data useful to us and others • It always starts with one simple application: Water Balance Summary
Making Apps Work is How We Learn • Keep Focusing… • Learn how to host content that drive applications: • Information Layers • Query & Analysis services • Start with Simple application that does one useful task • Get people to use it and as for more (be user-driven) • More tasks • Greater resolution, larger scales, national through local content • “Information is more valuable when it’s accessible.”
Hosted on ArcGIS.com • Our challenge is to figure out how to host layers and services • Monthly content summaries drive initial applications • Build an online community and “home place” for world hydro • Long term: Shift to facilitating data producers to use ArcGIS.com hosting services • Find impedances and flatten them by sharing understanding • Get real • do things together • leading in ways that the community finds valuable
