Abstract

Improving Access to GIS Data with Targeted Webmap Applications
Track: Web Apps
Authors: Joyce Green, John McIntosh

The cost of supporting users in a desktop environment has the GIS Division migrating to server technology. One approach to server based GIS is to provide user focused webmaps that only include relevant layers and analysis capabilities. This approach has the advantage of providing users with limited GIS experience a means of appropriately using the data and analysis tools. Webmaps use JavaScript API and ArcGIS Server 10.1 map services. The GIS Division also makes use of ArcGIS Online.
