Abstract

A Web 2.0 Enterprise GIS integrating ESRI and IBM software
Track: System Implementation for GIS
Authors: Tony Hope, Daniel Miller

The host platform described in this paper is a composite of ESRI ArcGIS Server and IBM's WebSphere technologies where these softwares have enabled the NSW Land and Property Management Authority in Australia to converge its transactional business systems with its analytical platforms under a Web 2.0 Enterprise GIS Strategy.

The focus of this paper is the implementation of the ESRI REST API, ESRI JavaScript API and the ESRI Map Widget that implements IBM's iWidget specification for intuitive Web 2.0 mapping solutions.

Attendee's at this presentation will hear how ESRI's publication of JSAPI and REST API implementations are empowering the spatial industry to implement a fully integrated spatial environment. The role of Mashup Center in providing business environments for Web 2.0 development is presented, and approaches to developing JavaScript components that can be easily integrated across a significant number of platforms, including ESRI's JSAPI and the ESRI Map Widget is discussed.
