2 Agenda Why do we need Info Clouds What is an Information Cloud What problems does it solve The key components of the Info Cloud Capture Process Share Deliver The Platform Architecture 11/5/2014 2

3 The only constant is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be. Isaac Asimov

6 Understanding Change Requires Data and Content Information is Derived from Data and Content Action Requires Information

7 So how can we get better actionable Information faster?

8 Geospatial Challenges Facing Our Industry Too much time passes from Change to Action not smart We need to shorten the geo-information lifecycle Automation is required leverage upstream metadata and multisource content We need to address the Big Data problem for geospatial Data management cataloging Reduce storage costs Increase delivery speeds Streamline analytics that communicate relevant information and answers Get mobile Light Weight Apps Address access problems Content Apps

9 What Problem is the Info Cloud Solving? Fusion of Geospatial Genres Dynamic Geospatial Engine Information Products for Decision Making Mobile Apps Surveying Photogrammetry Remote Sensing GIS Data Dynamic Interactive Maps Multi-Dimensional Digital Worlds Web Services & Applications CAPTURE+ PROCESS + SHARE + DELIVER Use Together to Build Solutions Reports & Presentations

10 The Info (Information) Cloud The Info Cloud - What is it? The Information Cloud is an integrated platform that supports the capture, processing, sharing, and delivery of geospatial information products. 4 Key Engines Drive the Info Cloud 11/5/

11 Data Capture

12 The Info (Information) Cloud Sources of Information Capture Sensors Data Files Web Sites Geospatial Databases Content Services Mobile Data

13 Sensors Sense and Collect Raw Content Sensors Capture Space Info Cloud Air Ground

14 Geospatial Databases Data Files Geospatial Databases Web Sites Capture Info Cloud Use Crawlers & Metadata harvesters to catalog data

15 Geospatial Databases Content Services Capture Info Cloud Satellite Color Infrared LiDAR Orthophoto

16 Mobile Data - Crowd Sourcing Mobile Data Crowdsourcing (definition): To utilize labor, information, etc., contributed by the general public, often via the internet for no compensation Capture Crowdsourcing can be applied to a wide range of activities and tasks, from searching for answers to searching for missing people

17 The Info (Information) Cloud Data Capture What data do I have? Capture Sensor Data Aerial, Satellite, LiDAR, Full Motion Video, GPS, etc. Location References in Structured Data Relational Databases, Travel Itineraries, Financial Transactions, Corporate Data, Personnel Records, Statistical Data, etc. Access from Any Device Desktop, Laptop, PDA, Wireless, Smartphone Geospatial Data Maps, Imagery, Features, Terrain, Place Names, Buildings, Infrastructure, Roads, Political Boundaries, Hydrographic, Geodetic, etc. Location References in Unstructured Data News Reports, Publications, Manifests, Internet, World Wide Web, Audio, Video, etc.

18 Economic value of geospatial data could reach $700 billion/year by 2020 (McKinsey Global Institute)

19 Data Feeds The Info Cloud Info Cloud Capture Sensors Mobile data Data Files Geospatial Databases Content Services Web Sites Data required to feed the information cloud

20 Understanding Change Requires Data and Content Action Requires Information

21 Process & Analyze

22 Automation Use automated processing tools to rapidly create information products 11/5/2014

23 Increasing Skill Level The Info (Information) Cloud Author automated workflow processes via: Process Visual Authoring Tool (e.g. Spatial Modeler) Scripting Language (e.g. Python) Software Development Kit

24 The Info (Information) Cloud Geoprocessing Service = Information Product Process

25 The Info (Information) Cloud Publish geoprocessing services to the platform as automated workflows: Process Info Cloud Publish to the Info Cloud as a Web Processing Services

26 Execute Geoprocesses Over the Web Share Selected Process Description Describes the selected model Process Arguments Select inputs, change default values for the model Input Data Search Results Only displays data from the catalog suitable for the selected geoprocess.

27 The Info (Information) Cloud Geoprocessing Workflow Process Expert Creates Spatial Model Publishes Model to Platform Web Clients Platform Server Runs Spatial Model Consumer Accesses Product

28 Share

29 The Info (Information) Cloud Query the Catalog Library What data do I have? Share Sensor Data Aerial, Satellite, LiDAR, Full Motion Video, GPS, etc. Location References in Structured Data Relational Databases, Travel Itineraries, Financial Transactions, Corporate Data, Personnel Records, Statistical Data, etc. Access from Any Device Desktop, Laptop, PDA, Wireless, Smartphone Geospatial Data Maps, Imagery, Features, Terrain, Place Names, Buildings, Infrastructure, Roads, Political Boundaries, Hydrographic, Geodetic, etc. Location References in Unstructured Data News Reports, Publications, Manifests, Internet, World Wide Web, Audio, Video, etc.

30 The Info (Information) Cloud Manage, fuse, and share geospatial data across departments and regions Share Search

31 The Info (Information) Cloud Data Access Share Info Cloud Web Portal GIS or other Geospatial Client

32 Deliver

33 The Info (Information) Cloud Publish geoprocessing services to the platform as automated workflows: Deliver Data Streaming to Mobile Devices Image Compression e.g. ECW Data Deliver via Clip, Zip & Ship Info Cloud

34 The Info Cloud Technology Platform Clients GIS Photogrammetry Remote Sensing Web Mapping Mobile Mapping Intranet/ Internet Intranet/ Internet Discovery Services Delivery Services Data Management Services Enterprise Services Security & Administration Server Geospatial Data Management & Delivery Spatial Data Infrastructure Geospatial Server Web Mapping Web Editing & Workflow Optimization Geo- Processing Data & Web Services Web Services Geospatial Database Geospatial Data (Imagery, Features, Terrain) 11/5/

35 The Info (Information) Cloud Data Storage GeoProcessing Task Management & Administration Network Web Sites Databases Spatial Modeler & Phython Scripting for Authoring GeoProcesses Info Cloud Stream Compressed Imagery (ECW) to Field Device Web Access Through Geospatial Portal GeoProcessing Capacity (e.g. automated orthorectification)

36 Conclusion The Information Cloud takes a different view to the traditional domains of GIS, Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry, Surveying and Mapping. These domains are fused together to support the Information Cloud. Sparked by change and fueled by the data and information captured from a variety of sensors, systems and services data is processed with automated geospatial workflows, shared rapidly and securely, and ultimately delivered on-demand as reliable and actionable information to users in the office, in the field, and across the globe in real-time.
