  2. Overview • Introduction to Fugro Cable Database • Proposing Web Mapping Service • Web Mapping Technologies • Cable Database Web Mapping Service • Questions

  3. Introduction to the Cable Database • Cable Database • Web Mapping Technology • Cable Web Service Development • Wrap UP • Questions

  4. Why Web Service? Instant Access:

  5. Why Web Service? Honoring Confidentiality Agreement:

  6. Why Web Service? Enhancing Up-to-Date Process: Beijing PerthDubai LondonBuenos Aires Seattle

  7. Why Web Service? User’s Convenient:

  8. Why Web Service? • Instant Access • Honoring Confidentiality Agreement • Enhancing Up-to-Date Process • User Convenient

  9. Web Mapping Technology • Open Web Mapping • GeoServer, MapServer • OpenLayers, MapLab • PostGIS, MySQL Spatial • uDig • Proprietary Web Mapping • ESRI • MapDotNet • Google, Yahoo, Bing • Cable database • Web Mapping Technology • Cable Web Service Development • Wrap UP • Questions

  10. ESRI Web Mapping Solutions Data Application ArcGIS Server ArcGIS.com Viewer ArcGIS Explorer Online ArcGIS Online ArcGIS Viewer for Flex Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) ArcGIS Mapping for SharePoint WMS Servers ArcGIS Web ADF ArcGIS Web API

  11. ArcGIS Web APIs • ArcGIS API for Flex • Build on Adobe Flash player • MXML and ActionScript • Flex Builder or text editor with free Flex SDK • ArcGIS API for Silverlight /WPF • Microsoft Silverlight/WPF platform • XAML, C# or VB.Net • Visual Studio or Expression Blend • ArcGIS API for Javascript • Javascript • Eclipse or NetBeans or text editor

  12. Silverlight API for ArcGIS • 2007 (Version 1), April 2010 (Version 4) • XAML (Extensible Application Markup Language ) <StackPanel> <Button Content=“Click Me”/> </StackPanel> • VB.Net or C# for the code behind

  13. XAML & .NET • Team Work • Developer (VB.NET or C#) • Designers (XAML) • Development Environment • Visual Studio (VB.NET or C#) • Expression Blend (XAML) • Data Binding • Bind data objects to the user interface ( data objects can be defined in the code behind)

  14. Cable Web Service Characteristics • Utilizing Scenarios • To find out if there is a cable in a specific location • To find about an specific cable • To design a new cable • To prepare for a new geophysical survey • Cable database • Web mapping Technology • Cable Web Service Development • Wrap Up • Questions

  15. Cable Web Service Characteristics • Development Objectives • Customized functionalities • Smooth visualization • Up-to-date scenarios

  16. Developing Tools • Common Tools • Navigation • Identify • Turning on/off the layers • Customized Tools • Find • Plot geographical coordinates • Definition query • Geoprocessing (buffering, intersect) • Updating feature attributes • Uploading new datasets

  17. Smooth Visualization Data Presentation Interface Design

  18. Smooth VisualizationData Presentation • Cable Type (Line Style) • Power • Telecommunication • Scientific • Cable Status (Color) • As Laid • Plan • Retired

  19. Smooth VisualizationData Presentation • Definition Query
