What is ESRI’s role in the geoweb? GIS is all about the fat tail. They have all that data but it’s not really accessible. We’re really excited about the ArcGIS9.3 release that will make this data more available. Our users create maps and datasets. We’ve been open in the past with OGC and SOAP. In 9.3 we’re also creating KML and REST interfaces. “When it’s open, it’s accessible”.

Showing some of the applications that we’ve built. We’re developing our own JavaScript APIs and Flex APIs. Based on the Dojo framework. Showing very simple mapping tile application. Standard basic JS mapping API.

This is actually a leyer to a mappign service running on the server. But they’re more than simple maps. We also have geo-processing models. Showing heatmap population dataset. Can define a polygon, sent it to the server using a restful interface and find out how many people are living there.

Showing census information for the US, you can view the attribution information.

Showing tile maps on virtual earth.
