Abstract

Web based raster editing in generating digital soil maps for classroom
Track: Web Mapping
Authors: Nicole Kong, Divya Virigineni

In a soil mapping project, collaborators from 7 states need to work together to generate theme maps for teaching via web and mobile GIS applications. ArcGIS platform provides excellent tools for distributed geodatabase and web editing environment. However, the challenge in this project is that it requires raster data editing over the web, which is not currently supported. Working with ESRI team, we have developed work around solutions and greatly simplified the raster editing workflow via web.
