00:01The next area we’d like to review is ArcGIS is online. So think about ArcGIS Online;

00:07...let’s do a couple framing components here.

00:10First, it’s a place for you to find, share, and organize geographic content.

00:18And ArcGIS.com is that Web interface to those services.

00:23Have anybody of you logged in or used ArcGIS.com? Can I see some hands?

00:29I see about half.

00:31So, what I’m going to want to challenge you all today is I want to see you begin to go up and use these services...

00:38...because there’s a lot of content and information you can take advantage of right now.

00:43And we’ll take some time now to review those components.

00:48There are three online elements of ArcGIS Online. Those are maps, applications, and resources.

00:58Maps, like Jen pulled in a map from ArcGIS Online and brought that into the desktop, allowing her to distribute that map...

01:07...not only at the desktop but in the Web and mobile applications.

01:11She also was able to leverage an editing template that she found on ArcGIS Online.

01:19There are applications you can take advantage of off the bat for discovery and presentation.

01:25ArcGIS Explorer Online is one of those, and if you haven’t been to that location yet and started to utilize that tool...

01:33...I’d consider taking that trip there tonight.

01:37And take a look at ArcGIS Explorer Online.

01:39I think you’ll be surprised at what you can do in terms of leveraging the content and services there.

01:46There are additional resources with ArcGIS.com that you can begin to utilize off the bat as well.

01:53It’s a place where you can do some data storage.

01:56It’s a place where you can create and join a group if you want to be able to start sharing information...

02:03...with your coworkers or colleagues about a given geographic area or problem.

02:08Also the ability to leverage and find templates. And we’ll be reviewing two of those today.

02:15So, let’s take a little deeper dive now into the elements about the maps that are available for you.

02:23We begin by looking at the basemap. And this is the place that’s fundamental for anything that you do.

02:31And we understand the importance of having the ability to have a basemap available.

02:36We’ve taken the time to create some core basemaps for you to leverage.

02:43These are ArcGIS Online and they’re map services that you can bring in.

02:48These are streets, topographic features, imagery, and also different types of demographic content.

02:55Think about when you began a project only a few years ago.

03:00To begin the project, oftentimes you had to assemble a basemap; you had to create that basemap.

03:06What did you do? You went to a government site probably, and if you’re building an elevation surface...

03:12...you’d grab that digital data, combine those quad sheets together, and then build a surface.

03:21Once the surface was complete, then you’d have to build your cartography to represent that.

03:27Then you’re ready to go. Now I can start my project.

03:30Well, here’s the place where you can do a jump-start for this type of information.

03:35These are available worldwide in seamless multiscale services.

03:44I understand that many of you already might have a basemap...

03:47...but consider how could you use some of these basemaps for different applications.

03:52Say you’re in a community and you have a mutual aid agreement with another neighboring county...

03:58...or you’re working outside of your jurisdictional boundary but you want to share the information...

04:04...that you have with other people.

04:06You could take one of these basemaps since these are seamless and available worldwide, put your data on top of that...

04:12...and then publish that and make that information aware to your neighbors next door.

04:18They could then enter in their information on top of that as well.

04:22So it’s a place for collaboration and discovery. Many of these basemaps are free...

04:30...a wealth of content for you to get started.

04:33I also can look at this example of socioeconomic content.

04:37Maybe that’s something you might not typically have in your organization but you want to take that and do a quick look at.

04:46I’ve placed some facilities that I want services in my county for people to have access to.

04:51By looking at that basemap layer that I didn’t have before...putting my locations on top of that...

04:58...I might be able to start to see and begin to understand do I have the correct location for these facilities?

05:05But it’s a place for you to jump-start your activity and discovery, a place for you to collaborate.

05:13An important element is not only the basemap and the services that are there but how you...

05:19...the GIS community, can contribute to that.

05:23We’ve come up and initiated a new program, the Community Basemap Program.

05:29What is the Community Basemap Program?

05:30Well, it’s interesting because it relies upon you, the GIS community.

05:38You maintain and collect the most accurate and authoritative information about the areas that...

05:45...you live and work and gather information.

05:49What we’re asking you to do is consider looking at how you can contribute some of that information to this basemap program...

05:58...and share that to the world so everyone can have access to multiscale worldwide sets...

06:06...of basemap services that are authoritative and up to date.

06:11So, what does that all mean?

06:13It means you providing a copy of the information that you have, you create a...

06:20...you take your data and put into an MXD, a template that we make available to you.

06:27You then create a cache of that on ArcGIS Server and provide us that...a copy of that cache.

06:34We don’t own that; we don’t maintain it. You all do. And then we just publish that map service free for everyone to use.

06:42So the community gets to leverage...the information that you have.

06:48It’s an interesting concept, and we’ll be describing that a little bit more in some of our demonstrations or if you...

06:55...have ideas of how you would like to share, feel free to discuss that with us today.

07:00The components are the Community Basemap template; pour your data into that.

07:06It’s like an MXD that has a simple set of uniform map features and styles.

07:13So, even if you don’t contribute to the program, you can begin to leverage those common map styles that allow you to...

07:20...publish a rich map service. We have several elements that we’re working on right now.

07:26We’ve completed the topography, and we’re also reaching out to you all now about streets and imagery.

07:33We have a few organizations in the state that have contributed to this already. Pasadena is one as well as San Francisco...

07:41...and I think we’ll be seeing maybe one of those two today in a demonstration.

07:48So, without further ado, let’s go ahead and review the basemap and the Community Basemap Program.

07:54Alright. Well, let’s take a look at the basemaps that are available with ArcGIS Online.

08:00First of all, how many of you have used ArcGIS Explorer Online? This is the application that I have up right here.

08:06Alright, just a few of you. How many of you have used ArcGIS Explorer Desktop?

08:11Okay, more of you have so ArcGIS Explorer Online is a complement to ArcGIS Explorer Desktop.

08:19And you don’t need to download anything. It is a Silverlight client that you can begin using.

08:24And one of the things that I can do with ArcGIS Explorer Online is create a presentation.

08:29So, let’s take a look at this presentation that I’ve got in here...about the world topographic basemap...

08:36...and that is the basemap that Tony has mentioned.

08:39And that is actually a unique map in that a lot of the sources of that map are actually government sources.

08:47So I have data in here coming from a number of federal agencies, such as USGS and U.S. EPA...

08:56...as well as National Park Service, for example, but also state and local agencies.

09:02So, for example, here is the city of Pasadena, and if we zoom in to Pasadena City College...

09:08...you can see the level of detail that is available on the map.

09:15You can see the actual locations of trees that they’ve got in Pasadena as well as parking spots on campus.

09:24Of course, Rose Bowl is also in Pasadena, so you can take a look at the level of detail here...

09:29...and what I want you to pay attention to as well is the symbology on this map.

09:35Now, let’s take a look at San Francisco, and let’s zoom in to Golden Gate Park.

09:41Again, immense level of detail, actual locations of trees, parking lots, and tennis courts.

09:48But notice one thing; the symbology is the same.

09:52So, we’re using that Community Basemap template to pull a variety of sources together into one seamless basemap.

10:01And here we are in Redlands, California, where we are now, and we can take a look at the Esri campus.

10:08So, we are right here in Building Q right now, and if you’re wondering where lunch is, it’s in the Café.

10:18So, you’ll walk out the door; the first building to your right is the Café. So, here we are; we used the map to get around.

10:29So, a topographic basemap is not the only basemap that is certainly available.

10:37Another one that we have available is the imagery basemap, and that one, too, is compiled from a variety of sources.

10:45It’s got at least one meter or better imagery anywhere in the United States.

10:51Here we have San Diego, California, a very high-quality image here.

10:56And also we’ve got commercial providers such as GeoEye Image that you see right here...

11:03...that is part of the basemap.

11:05In addition to those two maps, we have thematic maps such as demographic data, the geologic map for North America...

11:14...as well as content from other providers such as Bing Maps and OpenStreetMap.

11:22So when you are looking for that background framework...for that visual framework for your map, consider ArcGIS Online.

11:30You can use it in Web applications, and you can use it in desktop.

11:33Don’t forget that you can add it to ArcMap, and Jen has shown you how to do that.

11:38So, let’s take a look at how we can use these basemaps in applications.

11:46So, if I go to ArcGIS Online, one thing that you have in here is the gallery.

11:52So within the gallery, you have access to maps and apps that Esri has provided as well as those that users like you have provided.

12:02So there is one map that I find particularly interesting, and that is Healthy Food Access map.

12:09So, let’s take a look at that map. Again, I’m viewing it in a Web application, but this time, it’s a different application.

12:17It is not ArcGIS Explorer Online; it’s the ArcGIS.com Viewer.

12:21So, let’s zoom in to Redlands, and this is what this map is showing.

12:28Every neighborhood has been designated with a dot, and it’s either a red dot or a green dot.

12:35And red indicates that there is no easy access to fresh food, such as fresh fruits and vegetables within one mile.

12:43And the green dots indicate that there is such access, and actually this data is available for all of the continental United States.

12:52So one thing that we have done in here is we have put together a basemap from ArcGIS Online with another service.

13:01You can save this map to your account, so...before I can save that, it’ll ask me to log in.

13:09How many of you do have a Global Account with Esri?

13:15Alright. Hopefully most of you do cause that is one way that you can access information specific to you.

13:22But how many of you have linked that account to ArcGIS Online?

13:28Alright. Good. So in order to save maps that you create into your account and upload your data and be a member of groups...

13:38...you need to link your Global Account to ArcGIS Online, and the first time you log in, it is going to ask you that.

13:44So, now that I’m logged in, I’ll create the title for this map.

13:48I have to provide the tags, and the tags are a way for us to search for the data that other users have uploaded.

13:57So, once the map is saved, I will have the ability to share it.

14:02And I can share it with either everyone or people within a specific group.

14:10Another thing that I can do though is, if I share it, I can embed it in a Web site, my own Web site...

14:18...or I can create a Web application out of it.

14:21So, if I embed it in a Web site, it provides this code for me that I can copy and then, if I minimize this...

14:31...can go to Create a New Text File.

14:34Let’s call it Healthy Food and give it the HTML extension so that we can view it in a Web browser right away.

14:45And I’ll just simply paste the code that I copied from ArcGIS Online, and now I can run this file in a Web application.

14:54So this is simply an HTML file, but I’ve got that map viewer and all the services that were a part of it...

15:02...and it’s a good start for me to start to develop a personal Web site, but I also have the ability to make a Web application.

15:12And this is where you have access to a variety of templates that you can use to begin creating your Web application.

15:21So it’s a little bit more refined and provides you a better start for designing your own applications.

15:30And there’s instructions on how to use every one of those templates in ArcGIS Online.

15:35So next what I want to show you is how you can get access to those Community Basemap templates.

15:43And within ArcGIS Online there is a link to [ArcGIS] Resource Center.

15:47On the [ArcGIS] Resource Center, you have access to help and resources for all of our products...

15:55...specific functions within products, as well as user communities, and one of the user communities is the Community Basemap.

16:02So, first of all, within here, we have access to this layer that shows the participants in the Community Basemap Program.

16:12So you can see those agencies that are neighboring agencies that have started to provide their data to us.

16:21And, hopefully, some of you will consider doing it as well.

16:25So that way, we’ll take that information and upload it in our servers...

16:30...and it will be available to you in your own map applications that you want to serve to your customers...

16:36...as well as anyone else working within your area.

16:39So, what do you get with the Community Basemap?

16:42Well, if we go to the galleries, there is a link to templates and tools here, and there is a lot of helpful PowerPoints and links...

16:53...but one of the things is the actual template.

16:57So, once you download this, what you get is, you get a map document with all the symbology that you need.

17:05You get the data model. You get all the tools and scripts that you need to put together the Community Basemap.

17:12And I’ve got the download available right here; actually this sample dataset is the dataset for Redlands.

17:18So this is what you get; you get several group layers within here that each have the symbology specific for that scale.

17:27So you can take your data and put it within this data model...

17:32...and I want to encourage you to do that even if you don’t have every one of those layers.

17:37So, if you don’t have trees, it’s okay; you can still take advantage of that Community Basemap for your own use.

17:44And then also, you can work with us to upload the data, and actually what you upload is not data.

17:53I say data, but it’s not the data that you provide to us; what you provide to us is the caches from ArcGIS Server.

18:00So, we don’t store your data; we don’t maintain your data; we don’t get your data.

18:05You keep your data; what we keep is a picture of your data for use as the visual framework for yourselves and others within your area.

18:16Okay? So, let’s go back to the slides right here. Back to Tony.

18:24Great. Okay. So did you see the availability of the rich content that you can have on ArcGIS Online?

18:35There’s the basemaps; it’s also most importantly, it’s the ability to contribute that content...

18:42...as maps or part of the Community Basemap Program.

18:46I have several agencies and state government that are contributing a wealth of maps...

18:52...and I am also reaching out to you all to contribute maps and Community Basemaps as applicable...

18:58...because we’re trying to leverage what it is you have and share that withh the community.

19:08There are additional components on ArcGIS Online, and we’ll go into another demonstration in a second.

19:14But the components allow you to do things like share layers and map packages.

19:19And we saw a little bit about that already in our demonstration this morning with...by Jen...

19:24...the ability to take some of the content and create mashups and presentations...

19:30...or embed some applications into your things that you’re trying to do.

19:35Finally, the online storage and other resources that are there.

19:39Instead of me describing additional components, let’s jump into our second demonstration.

19:44So, let me go and open a different map document in here...

19:50...and what I want to show you is how you can work with ArcGIS Online data within ArcMap and how you can share your data...

20:00...more than just the basemaps with the general public as well as a particular group of colleagues.

20:10So, what I have in here is a map showing some data for DuPage County, Illinois...

20:15...and what I’m working on in here is the capital improvement projects for the year.

20:22So, first of all, what I want to do is I want to add a basemap. So, let’s go ahead and do that.

20:28And one thing I want to point out is we know this Add Data button, and that button is still there at 10...

20:35...but if you notice, there’s a little drop-down next to the Add Data button...

20:40...and what that allows me to do is add data that is local, add a basemap, or add other data from ArcGIS Online.

20:50So, first, let’s go ahead and add the basemap.

20:53So, let’s go ahead and add the topographic layer that we’ve been looking at.

20:59So, we’ll have a little bit of a better idea of where we’re working within that area.

21:06So, now I can start working with my capital improvement locations...

21:10...but what I actually want to do is I want to analyze whether...

21:15...any of these proposed capital improvement projects are going to interfere with the recreational facilities within the area.

21:22And I don’t have all of the data locally, but a colleague of mine has uploaded the bikeways layer to ArcGIS Online.

21:31So, let’s go ahead and search for that.

21:35So, notice that I’m signed in to my account...

21:38...and that will allow me to see not just public data but also private data that has been shared with a group that I’m a member of.

21:47So, let’s search for bikeway, and Adam, the colleague of mine, has uploaded this bikeways layer package.

21:58And a layer package is different from a map service in that once it comes in, it is actually downloaded to my desktop...

22:08...and you can see the link in there. It‘s a little bit hard to see...

22:12...but it is a file geodatabase that has been downloaded to my machine.

22:17So, right now, I’ve got the data, the symbology, everything local so I can use that data just like...

22:27...as if it was the data that started out locally on my machine.

22:30So what I want to do is I want to select those capital improvement projects that are within 200 feet of the bikeways layer.

22:44So you can see on the bottom there, I’ve got two features selected, so let’s go ahead and zoom to those.

22:51And take a look at those.

22:54Zoom to Selected Features.

22:56You can see I’ve got these two features selected. I can identify, I can edit them, if I’d like.

23:03So, so far, I’ve shown you how you can use resources that are available on ArcGIS Online.

23:09You can have basemaps that just give you the visualization framework of where you are, where you’re working.

23:17And we can also get the data that other users have created and made available...

23:24...but I haven’t shown you yet how you can put the data on ArcGIS Online.

23:29So, let’s take a look. I want to just take this capital improvement projects layer and create a layer package out of it.

23:37So I will validate the layer to make sure that there is nothing in there that would interfere with it being uploaded and then share.

23:46I have to provide the summary, so I’ll say this is CIP Projects for 2010. I’ll provide the tags.

23:54This is DuPage at CIP. I have to provide the tags.

23:59It won’t allow me to upload without the tags 'cause that is the main way that we search for the data.

24:06And now I have a choice of whether to share with everyone or share with members of particular groups that I am a member of.

24:16And here’s the DuPage County Capital Improvement Projects Group that I am a member of that I can just provide the data to.

24:23So, that way, it’s not available for everyone. Now the data has been packaged. The little geodatabase is being created.

24:32And now it is accessible within my account and for everyone that is part of that group.

24:38So, let’s go ahead and navigate to my content.

24:43And within here, this is the layer package that I have just uploaded, and it is only available for the group.

24:50So, I encourage you to use ArcGIS Online for sharing with your colleagues.

24:55You don’t have to make the data available to everyone right away...

24:59...and also certainly do contribute to the Community Basemap if you are able...

25:05...and continue using the basemaps in Web applications and in ArcGIS...and in ArcMap.

25:11Tony, back to you.

25:13Okay. Great. Switch you over.

25:16Alright. There we go.

25:24So, with ArcGIS Online, there’s a number of things that we’ve demonstrated and showed.

25:29First, it’s free and ready to use, and this is the resources of leveraging the cloud and those applications.

25:38Beginning to look at your workflow and how can you contribute content and start to access information as you need.

25:47It’s one of those great places to share your maps and your knowledge. Again, it can be made available to everyone...

25:54...or the ability, as Katja showed...

25:57...to create a group and share that information only with groups that need to complete a project.

26:04The participation with the GIS community; this is the place where it can happen.

26:10This is the resources and the information that you can use day to day.

26:15Finally, begin to use ArcGIS.com.

26:18Go there and start leveraging it, and you’ll be hearing us talk about that again throughout the day.

26:23But it opens up GIS to everyone...
