ArcIMS Birds of a Feather

• ArcIMS Database Powerful Visualization
  Engine!
• ArcIMS raster layers (any png, jpg, gif) can be
  used as dynamic layers if you have a valid world
  file.
• Setting map service projections.
• Creating Web Applications in ArcIMS 9.2 Site
  Builder and Web ADF.
• ArcIMS and ArcGIS server.

ArcIMS Database

• ArcSDE the Enterprise database allow you to map
  complex multi-dimensional datasets. ArcIMS
  allows powerful visualization of these relational
  database views. This was not easily attainable
  in the traditional file-based GIS system.
• Multi-dimensional Subsurface Mapping
  Applications
• Kansas Subsurface Mapping
• Spatial-temporal analysis examples
• Historical Kansas Oil and Gas Production

Multi-dimensional Subsurface Mapping
The Kansas Geological Survey has a dataset of
approximately 1.7 million called tops. --A
top is a depth in feet to a particular
formation at an individual well. A well will
have more than one top.

Multi-dimensional Subsurface Mapping
6
Multi-dimensional Subsurface Mapping
Select all the wells that have a formation
called, Atokan Stage.
Join the query set to an SDE layer that has the
spatial features for all of the wells.

Multi-dimensional Subsurface Mapping
1) Query database for the min and max values for
the dynamic rendering
select min(WELL_TOP) abs_min, max(WELL_TOP)
abs_max, avg(WELL_TOP) - 2
stddev(WELL_TOP) min_value, avg(WELL_TOP)
2 stddev(WELL_TOP) max_value from
strat_well_top_1MAR2006 where FORMATION_NAME
'Atokan Stage' and WELL_TOP is not null and
WELL_TOP ltgt 9999 and WELL_TOP IS NOT NULL

ArcIMS Database
Dont underestimate the power of joining tabular
views to spatial data!

• Other possible examples
• Property values through time.
• Global Energy consumption through time.
• Temperature profiles by depth.
• Census block population through time.
• Irrigated water levels through time.
• Water use by section through time.
• Parcel values through time.

ArcIMS and Dynamic Raster Layers

• Any image can be added to ArcIMS as a dynamic
  layer. All you need is a valid world file.
• A png needs a pgw file. A jpg needs a jgw file.
• Dynamically creating world files for ArcIMS

Once your world file is ready, its as simple as
adding in a dynamic layer to your map service

Projections, Projections, Projections

• What happens if you don't have a valid projection
  set?
• You cannot use your mapservice within ArcMap with
  other data layers outside of your projection
• All of your data layers in your mapservice have
  to be in the same projection
• You cannot publish your mapservice to the
  National Map or to GOS
• Other groups cannot use the valuable data within
  your mapservice within their data and/or
  applications
• Your mapservice cannot be searched spatially
  within Mapdex or other map search engines.
• There is a nice article in the Winter 2005
  ArcUser about georeferencing ArcIMS services. I
  encourage you to check it out.
