Clackamas County uses MapObjects to Build an Enterprise Desktop GIS with Internet Capability
Defining Issue: Bringing GIS data, legacy system data, imagery, and mission critical data together in one easy-to-use interface that can be used by County staff and the public. GIS Solution: Clackamas County, with the assistance of GeoNorth Inc., has constructed a MapObjects-Visual Basic interface to seamlessly and effortlessly access GIS, tabular, and image data. Upon completion of the desktop/customer counter interface, Clackamas County Utilities then deployed the "MoClack" application onto the Intranet/Internet and WWW. Methodology: The Clackamas County Utilities MoClack application uses MapObjects and Visual Basic to bring together more GIS data than ever before into one interface that anyone can use. Examples of data include 127,000+ parcel lots with assessor records, rivers, wetlands, flood zones, building permits, zoning, soils, district boundaries, topography (10 ft./2 ft.), 3,000+ tax map images, sanitary sewer customer data, sanitary sewer system, 2,000+ sanitary as-built images and digital
ortho photography. This application runs on a variety of hardware from 486/66 to Pentium Pro's running Windows NT. All data are available via a 10Base-T switched network as well as over the Intranet/Internet. Clackamas County Utilities uses MoClack to administer daily customer service, complaint tracking, planning, and research. MoClack allows access to multitudes of information in one easy-to-use interface. The time to compile GIS and other data into meaningful information has been reduced from hours to minutes, saving countless hours of labor. Engineers, technicians, office staff, and citizens have finally been able to access the enormous amounts of data the County has invested in over the years. GIS has never been easier or faster. This paper will explain the development process and real-world uses, and will include a live demonstration of the application both on the desktop and Internet. Software: The application was developed using MapObjects in the Visual Basic environment and MapObjects
Internet Map Server. Other software that has been utilized include ArcInfo, ArcView Version 3.0, SYBASE, DBASE, and Microsoft Access.
