Geospatial networks like Google Maps, Microsoft Virtual Earth, and others are evolving quickly to provide map-based data and services. Software tools can access these networks and integrate their data and services into GIS systems. Standards like OGC SDI 1.0 allow homeland security users to find and access geospatial data like roads, hydrography, and governmental boundaries needed for analysis. Scenarios show how analysts could use geospatial networks and services to view and analyze the projected dispersion of a toxic plume over time to determine what infrastructure may be affected.

26. Geospatial Networks Can I use the Geospatial Networks in GIS? Microsoft Virtual Earth Google Maps and Earth Yahoo! Maps DigitalGlobe ImageConnect OGC SDI 1.0 Many others…
27. Software tools can access the Networks – like CarbonArc® PRO for ESRI ArcGIS 9.2 CarbonArc PRO supports SDI 1.0 services like WMS, WFS, WFS-Transactional, WCS, Filter Encoding, Gazetteer, GML, GMLsf, CS-W plus Virtual Earth’s Network
28. MSVE Extension to CarbonArc® PRO allows VE services to fully integrate with the GIS Use Microsoft Virtual Earth tiles as a dynamic functional layer within the GIS
29. Geospatial Networks OK, but what about accessing just the data I need for Homeland Security? Microsoft Virtual Earth Google Maps and Earth Yahoo! Maps DigitalGlobe ImageConnect OGC SDI 1.0 Many others…
35. Geospatial Networks How about finding data in a Geospatial SOA? Microsoft Virtual Earth Google Maps and Earth Yahoo! Maps DigitalGlobe ImageConnect OGC SDI 1.0 Many others…
40. Geospatial Networks OK, but what about “geospatial” analysis for Homeland Security? Microsoft Virtual Earth Google Maps and Earth Yahoo! Maps DigitalGlobe ImageConnect OGC SDI 1.0 Many others…
41. Scenario – Toxic Plume T+1 T+2 T+3 T+4 T+5 A toxic plume appears! Its projected progress is documented as a GML file. Analysts use ArcGIS to view the projected dispersion area with Microsoft Virtual Earth as a base map.
42. Scenario – Toxic Plume Analysts use CarbonArc PRO and SDI 1.0 to see what infrastructure might be affected. Data is imported from various agencies and commercial vendors using Web Feature Services (WFS).
51. Scenario – Toxic Plume OK, OK. One final question…can you do this type of analysis ‘for real’?
52. Scenario – Toxic Plume Yes, here is an example from the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure

56. And there’s lots more going on with Transactions, distributed data update and more,,,
