The "ArcGIS JavaScript API", sits directly on top of Dojo framework, providing developers with access to Dojo user interface widgets and all the other benefits of Dojo core. Whit this ArcGIS you can build a html5/javascript mapping applications and the api allows you to easily embed maps in your web pages. An ArcGIS application utilizes a layer-based (TiledLayer, DynamicLayer, FeatureLayer, etc...) geographic information model for characterizing and describing our world. An ArcGIS application asks what it need, through a http/rest service (the service will return images or json data - for example) hosted on the ArcGIS server. In this simple html5/javascript demo project (http://sdrv.ms/UGlW0p) you can find five examples that show the basic functionality of the mapping framework "ArcGIS API for JavaScript" (will be shown the basic functionality of the ArcGIS classes layer). You can download the demo code at this link: http://sdrv.ms/UGlW0p - There is also a video on YouTube: http://youtu.be/2IV29O0dW2M

This document discusses converting CAD data to GIS formats and some of the challenges involved. It describes problems with representing parcel/block boundaries and attributes when converting CAD data to GIS and shows the workflow and outputs. It also details issues with converting elevation points and lines from CAD formats where the elevation is stored as text not linked to the features. The document proposes solutions like representing the data as 3D points and lines in GIS and meeting specification requirements. Later sections discuss converting GIS data to CAD formats and blending MicroStation and lidar datasets to model 3D buildings.

Field Activity Planner offers a cloud based digital platform for enabling rapid visual workflows for your offshore engineering work. The platform allows you to easily integrate with other backend systems and offshore engineering software already in use in your organization either for field design, field planning, or activity scheduling to name a few key areas. If you are looking at different offshore software solutions to improve your day to day activities we use modern browser and cloud technology to deliver a state of the art collaborative field planning software platform that excels in easy to use 2D and 3D field layout and design of your subsea and topside projects. By using a real-time database, we ensure that you can collaborate on field design and planning with your colleagues around the globe to save both time and money by avoiding multiple revisions of proposed layouts. We also support the most common data sources, and formats used for typical offshore software solutions e.g. bathymetry, reservoir, and well paths. Using our SaaS software, you can direct from your browser quickly design a field layout where you load up your bathymetry and/or survey data. Then simply add 3D reservoir and well data for a complete overview and start to finalize you subsea layout by placing generic or company specific subsea and topside assets in the correct locations. And while you design, modify, and collaborate on possible field layouts you will see that cost calculations are constantly updated when the design changes. All this data is securely uploaded and processed in our cloud service and is viewable in both 2D and 3D, and you can invite coworkers into you project, and directly create a shareable URL for view only purposes that can be sent outside your organization to prospective clients and partners.

The Department of National Defence (DND) is developing a central repository for land, building, and infrastructure data. This a joint project between the Assistant Deputy Minister Infrastructure and Environment (ADMIE) and the Mapping and Charting Establishment (MCE). This project involves managing DND real property and other spatial data provided by DND bases and wings across Canada through a unique, integrated and standardized Real Property Spatial Data Warehouse (RPSDW), hosted at MCE, containing a SQL Server database. Data provided by DND bases and wings must meet standards defined and documented by ADMIE, in terms of data formats accepted (GeoMedia MDB, ArcGIS FGDB, MapInfo MIF or AutoCAD SDF), geometry, schema and attribute data types, domains and accepted values for each feature class. An FME workspace and an equivalent tool contained within an ArcGIS Data Interoperability Toolbox were created to provide the geotechs from DND Bases using ArcGIS Data Interoperability or FME Desktop with a toolset, delivered together with a user’s guide, that allows them to perform a self-validation of the DND real property and other spatial data before these data is sent to MCE to be loaded into the RPSDW SQL Server database.

The Data Integration Application is a custom application that allows for the integration of CADD and GIS data. It uses FME to import CADD files into an Oracle database while preserving airport CADD standards. It validates data using stored procedures before loading and provides reporting. It can also export validated GIS data back into CADD files grouped by structure and floor according to a crosswalk table and drawing template. The application provides an automated solution for consistently loading and exporting large amounts of CADD data to and from their GIS data while maintaining standards and data integrity.

This document outlines the agenda and process for integrating CAD and GIS systems for an Environmental Utility Department. [1] It describes the initial disconnected workflow between their AutoCAD, ArcInfo, and Hansen systems and the challenges this caused. [2] Ideate helped integrate the systems by replicating Hansen asset tables in AutoCAD, automatically populating attributes, and exporting to SHP files for ArcSDE. [3] This streamlined the process, improved data accuracy, and reduced staff time spent on maintenance between the different software tools.

1. The document describes how to create a COVID-19 dashboard using SuperMap software. It provides steps to set up SuperMap iServer, iServer Datastore, and iPortal. 2. It explains how to prepare coronavirus and base map data, then visualize the data on a map using DataViz. Components like charts, indicators can then be added to the map to create a dashboard using Map Dashboard. 3. The COVID-19 dashboard can then be published for public access on web and mobile browsers.

This document summarizes Glasgow City Council's process for creating simple web mapping applications in ArcGIS Online for non-GIS users. Key steps included: publishing services from ArcMap to ArcGIS for Server; adding services to AGOL and organizing in folders; using Web AppBuilder templates to create consistent applications; and configuring pop-ups, basemaps, and address lookup. This approach allowed over 20 internal applications and public-facing maps to be developed quickly without requiring developer skills.

The document discusses the San Francisco Department of Public Works' process of migrating their sewer infrastructure data from file-based storage to an Oracle database integrated with CAD/GIS software.

It includes details on how to use the mapping tools to view crime data by type, date range, and location; set filters; view analytics and metadata; and sign up for crime alerts on desktop or via a mobile app. Contact information is provided for the police GIS and data analyst overseeing the system.

Geocoding is the process of matching address data from a table to locations on a geographic layer. This involves creating an address locator, adding the table to be geocoded in ArcGIS, selecting the address locator, and setting geocoding options like spelling sensitivity, minimum match scores, and offset distances. The geocoded addresses are then output to a new layer and can be mapped to understand data quality limitations.

This document discusses the history and evolution of criminological theories for explaining crime. It covers early theorists like Beccaria and Bentham, the rise of social positivism and scientific criminology in the late 19th century, and the development of social disorganization theory and the Chicago school's ideas about how crime relates to urban environments and social networks. More recent research has focused on concepts like collective efficacy and broken windows theory. While no single theory explains all crime, criminologists have developed useful models and researchers must understand both theories and data limitations to effectively analyze crime.

This document discusses environmental criminology and crime prevention through environmental design. It describes how the physical properties of a space can encourage or discourage criminal behavior by implementing strategies like territoriality, natural surveillance, and image maintenance. These strategies aim to increase the perceived risk of committing crimes in an area and encourage informal social control among residents. The document also discusses theories of criminal behavior like rational choice theory and routine activities theory, and how victimization risk can be reduced through environmental design. Finally, it covers types of crime displacement and how interventions can create deterrence and discouragement beyond just the targeted areas.
