Rajesh Mathur, Vice Chairman, Esri India shares his vision for National Mapping Organizations at IGF 2013

1. New Paradigm for
National Mapping Organization

2. Key Challenges……
Common Data Model
Standards
GIS Enabled Data
Currency
Staff Skills
Effective Dissemination
• …Commonto all National Mapping Agencies
Efficient Monitoring
Timelines

3. Get data GIS ready
From Mapping to Spatial Datasets
Transition from Tiles/Sheets to Area of Interest
Geo-enabled Services for integration with GIS Applications
Common Data Model
Standardization of Processes & Procedures
Mechanism for Regular update, both Online/Offline
Embracing New Paradigm of
- Structured Workflow
- Geo-Spatial Production Mapping System
- Data Dissemination
Vision…….

13. New Paradigm In Production Mapping System……
…Centrally managed for production teams

14. Its Components….
Efficiently producing standards-basedproducts
• ArcGIS Data Reviewer
configuration
• Validation rules
• Batch checks
• ArcGIS Workflow
Manager configuration
• Task Assistant Mgr
• Cartography
• Editing framework
• Editing tools
• Data loaders
• Rules in geodatabase
• Map specifications
• Product Library
• Document mgmt
Centrally
Managed
Production
Specialized
Tools

Workflow
…giving customers an operational advantage

15. Its Workflow…..

Geodatabase
(Foundation Tools)
(GIS Data
ReViewer)
(MPS-Atlas)
(JTX – brings pieces
together)

16. New Paradigm in Data Dissemination……
• Manage, publish, and store metadata
• Search and view geospatial resources
• View live map services
• Download data

17. Evolving Dissemination Pattern….
• Application focus
• IT standards
• Interoperable
GIS Portals
Clearinghouses
• System-oriented
• Data focus
• Geo-standards
• Top down
File Transfer
• Ad hoc
• Data focus
• FTP transfer
• Bottom up

18. That brings the concept of Geo-Services
Moving from Data Sharing
To Shared Services (Maps, Models, Data . . . )
• RESTful Services
• Easily Discovered
• Open Standards Based
• Easy-to-Use Clients
• Customizable (API’s)
Shared Geospatial Resources

19. Serving Multiple Users/User groups
• Authoritative Data
• High Quality Maps
• Analytics and Models
• Rich Applications
LeveragingThese Services . . .
Citizens
Knowledge
Workers
Field
Workers
Industry
Experts
Executives
. . . And Other
GIS Users

20. Requiring An Integrated Geographic Platform
That Could Support a Large Communityof Users and Applications
IntegratingAll Levels of Government . . .
GIS Services
Gov. – Bus
Gov. – Gov.
Gov. – Academia
Gov. – Citizens
GIS Applications

21. ArcGIS Online Provides that Platform…..
• An Open Platformfor Maps and Geographic Information
• . . . Easy and Accessible by Everyone
Cloud / Web
Intelligent Web Maps
ServerDesktop

22. And Presents “Geography as a Service”
A Cloud Based Portal
For Sharing, Discoveryand Use….
…Providinga Ready-to-UseGeospatial Platform
Apps
Maps
Distributed Services
Providing:
• ContentManagement
• Intuitive Mapping
• Sharing and
Collaboration
• Web and Mobile Apps
• Enterprise Integration
• Open Interoperability

23. Leveraging The New Medium of Intelligent Web Maps
• Integrating Services (Data, Maps, Models . . . )
• Simplifying GIS . . .
• . . . Connecting and Providing Open Access
Accessibility
Easily Created
and Shared
• Visualization
• Editing
• Pop-ups
• Analysis
• Time

24. These Web Maps Can Be Used Everywhere
. . . Enhancing Collaboration and Dissemination
