2. Biography PhD Candidate GIS 2.0: Definition, Implications for Humanitarian Information Management, Disruptive Strategy for Implementation Built the Cyberinfrastructure system at KARS/KBS 4 th year of the project Web mapping core, metadata portal, dynamic HTML redesign Humanitarian Intelligence Analyst Humanitarian Information Unit (HIU), U.S. Department of State

3. NeoGeography Does it really exist? Began as an expression of Web 2.0 applied to maps AJAX, JavaScript APIs, RSS Craigslist mashup / Chicago Crime Maps * Democratization of geographic tools Web Developers discovered Geography… What about Geographers discovering the Web?

4. What is Web 2.0? a transformative force thats compelling companies across all industries towards a new way of doing business characterized by harnessing collective intelligence, openness, and network effects --Tim OReilly

5. What is a GIS? A digital representation of the earth, structured to support analysis (Dobson, 2007) Automated systems for the collection, storage, retrieval, analysis, and display of spatial data (Clarke, 1995) Should also include dissemination Composed on software, hardware, and people

6. GIS 2.0: A Reformulation Free and Open Source Software Web 2.0 philosophy collective intelligence, network effects, openness Internet as a platform Open Standards Interoperability

7. GIS 2.0: A Reformulation Ubiquitous communication Widespread wired and wireless networks (voice and data) Device convergence Mobile devices increasing in power and functionality Phone, camera, GPS, form-based database input, cellular, wifi Cloud computing SaaS, PaaS, IaaS Network-driven commoditization of IT

20. GIS 2.0: Dissemination Multiple tiers of users Web mapping applications. GeoCommons Finder!

21. Geography 911 Project Goal: Design and implement a neogeography application that allows users to access, input, and modify spatially relevant data on a map of the University of Kansas Lawrence campus. Scope:... provides to the community the means to share geotagged content and geographic data from multiple locations in multiple formats on the internet. Content and data can be uploaded into or embedded on individual layers then be displayed on a map of the Lawrence campus. Examples of content may include photos, videos, text comments, vector-style locations (such as routes and push-pins), or user information

22. Project Architecture (Input) How do people get data into the system? Data Collection On-screen digitize, SMS, email, forms How to capture existing authoritative data? RSS, geocode Storage / Retrieval Leverage geographic nature of data requires spatial data types PostGIS::ArcSDE

23. Project Architecture (Output) Once data is in the system, how do people interact with the information? Visualize Web Map Server (GeoServer, MapServer::ArcGIS Server) Styling (SLD, MAP files::ArcMap) Map Window (OpenLayers: :ESRI JavaScript or Flex, Google) Widgets (GeoExt::ESRI JavaScript (Dojo) or Flex) (Layers, Queries, Analysis, Draw tools…) Base Layer Data (Open Street Map::ESRI, Google, Microsoft) Storage / Retrieval SQL statements for user queries Spatial analysis functions intrinsic to spatial database

24. Project Architecture (Output) Once data is in the system, how do people interact with the information? Disseminate Publish data in a several different formats Web Services (OGC), KML, CSV, text…. RSS, SMS, email updates
