Developing Multi Platform Applications with ArcGIS Server and ESRI SDKs
Track: Water Resources
Authors: Balkan Uraz

State Hydraulic Works (DSI) is the key agency for administration of water resources in Turkey. DSI is responsible from water related layers according to INSPIRE, so management of all these water related layers in GIS is an important mission for DSI. There is a 3-tier structure at DSI, based on ArcGIS Servers which is working for desktop, web and mobile applications.

In the server tier, ArcGIS Server 10.1 SDS is used to publish water related layers in REST format in accordance with the OGC REST Candidate Specification. REST services are intentionally selected as their simple and light structure enables fast development cycles in especially mobile development.

ESRI iOS SDK and Silverlight SDK are used for the mobile and web applications respectively, which consume the SDS services created above. This presentation is about creating SDS services and consuming them both from web and mobile clients.
