ESRI global user conference in 2014 was held in July 14 ~ Let's review the following highlights when we reconvene on the 18 th:
Preface: conference topic "Creating our future"
[Explanation ]:
It conveys two core contents: the application mode of Web GIS; the transformation from GIS experts to geodesigner to improve the importance of GIS experts.
[Translation ]:
The literal meaning of this topic is to examine how we design and create a better future through collective efforts and GIS technology. Obviously, today's world is facing many challenges. Although GIS users are already committed to some of these challenges, there is still much to do. More and more organizations publish spatial reference data as Web Services. Similarly, advances in computing, network technology, and Web provide more possibilities for accessing and using spatial data anywhere.
WebGIS provides a promising platform to integrate and use all types of spatial reference information. apps make GIS easier and easier for users in the entire organization.
WebGIS is changing how GIS professionals work. This means they can spend more time analyzing and applying their knowledge to specific applications, and less time managing their own data.
Web GIS also makes collaboration easier. More data and more cooperation means that users can improve and speed up the fast delivery of information products, thus contributing to all aspects of the Organization.
GIS professionals are playing an increasingly important role. They are increasingly involved in decision-making support applications. Geodesign is a method that supports this process and is rapidly emerging. It includes a series of workflows and processes that integrate geographical knowledge into the design and planning workflow. This integration allows users to quickly generate optional space plans, evaluate them, and make more rational and wise decisions.
As geodesign becomes an indispensable part of every GIS professional activity, it will then help almost every field and create a better future.
Technical highlights of ArcGIS Products
[Explanation ]:
(1) Highlight the core of ArcGIS as a platform, and emphasize the Web GIS application model-cloud/on-premise.
(2) added Web appbuilder and 3dwebscene for the portal (supporting 3D Visualization on multiple terminals) and operational dashboard for the browser;
(3) Enhanced analysis functions and performance of ArcGIS pro, enhanced image support, focus on spatial data mining, and enhanced multi-dimensional data visualization on desktop.
(4) ESRI is paying more and more attention to apps, adding breifing book and explorer for ArcGIS (Mac version;
Highlight 1: Portal 3D Web scene 3D Web scene is a new webgl-based 3D visual environment to be launched in ArcGIS 10.3.
ArcGIS 10.3 provides a new service scene service, namely, 3D model service, which enables dynamic acquisition and display of cached data in the new web scene.
Like web map, you can create Web scene in portal for ArcGIS and search for data resources from the organization or ArcGIS online to add it to Web scene.
You can set the title, summary, keywords, bookmarks, and other content of the web scene. Save the Web scene and share it with others.
Finally, the created web scene can be opened and used on the desktop (ArcGIS Pro), web, and mobile devices.
Highlight 2: ArcGIS pro space-time Data Mining [interpretation] The new space-time hotspot analysis tool and three-dimensional visualization tool for space-time data mining is really dazzling and easy to use. 10.3.
Tool Name: space-time hot spot analysis, create space-time cube
Highlight 3: Image Enhancement in ArcGIS pro [interpretation] Pro provides image enhancement, segmentation and classification functions. The Ribbon interface makes operations more convenient and flexible. Pro provides users with an efficient and beautiful data presentation and use platform.
Highlight 4: Support for Lidar Data in ArcGIS pro [interpretation] Support for Lidar Data in ArcGIS pro. Tasks also provides users with flexible and customizable data processing solutions.
The Pro of the two-and three-dimensional integrated architecture is undoubtedly an artifact for users to analyze LIDAR data in the future.
Highlight 5: multi-dimensional data management and visualization of desktop [interpretation] multi-dimensional data is often referred to as scientific data through its measurement value and dimension definition data. In section 10.3, the embedded dataset adds netcdf, Grib, and HDF raster types.
Scientific data is widely used in marine, meteorological and other industries. ArcGIS will better support users in related industries.
Highlight 6: the new release of ArcGIS open data-the public to provide authoritative data (ArcGIS online) access address: https://opendata.arcgis.com/about
ArcGIS online has added the open data capability to enable enterprises to create custom open data websites to provide authoritative enterprise data for the public.
For enterprises, you can complete three-step configuration of websites with their own enterprise characteristics that can provide authoritative data externally.
End users can quickly query and instantly browse authoritative data through interactive maps by visiting open data Websites provided by enterprises, you can also download the data you are interested in (you can select the download format as needed: SHP, table, kml, and API ).
Highlight 7: Custom roles for new ArcGIS online features: create, edit, and Manage Roles in the Organization. You can create a role based on an existing role or role template, and grant or deny permissions associated with the role as needed.
Highlight 8: A practical app in activity dashboard for ArcGIS marketplace, a new feature of ArcGIS online. Created by ESRI lab for free.
It can be used on ArcGIS online and portal for ArcGIS platforms. Enterprise administrators can use it to monitor the real-time status of resource status, user access, usage, and other running indicators on the platform and present them vividly through dashboards.
In addition, online has been greatly improved and enhanced in terms of user experience and functions, such as better UI style, more powerful data rich capabilities, and more powerful space analysis capabilities.
Highlight 9: The GIS applications (runtime) on Wearable devices are changing with each passing day, especially wearable devices. smart watches and wristbands are emerging one after another. ESRI is actively trying to embed GIS into wearable devices. on February 4, UC demonstrated the smart watch GIS application developed based on the runtime SDK for Android.
It not only allows you to smoothly run GIS functions such as map browsing and path planning, but also makes interactions more user-friendly. By giving a voice command, the GIS application can give you a simpler and more intelligent answer.
This demo was created by will. I. am, the leader of the hip hop group Black Eyed Peas (black-eyed peas.
Highlight 10: Apps's briefing book [interpretation] ESRI's newly developed JavaScript Application can be used to create graphic reports, a good "artifact ". The demonstration of the Rotterdam port case on UC is made by this application.
