7. Final Exam Format Part 1 - Multiple choice on scantron/bring #2 pencil Part 2 - Short answer Comprehensive but w/more questions on 2nd half - again major concepts Lecture PPTs Your own notes Will NOT include "Web Sites of the Week” Labs 1-5, 7-8

8. Final Exam - cont. Major Concepts Some terms: SQL, ecological fallacy, mixel, spatial autocorrelation Spatial analysis (lec. 11-12), 3-D, UCGIS research priorities, guest lectures Distinguishing characteristics of GIS Topology - the “diagram” may appear again Object vs. field, vector vs. raster Future of GIS “Nasties” Resolution of grid GIS queries as part of an analysis step

9. Where to Go From Here Keep reading the geography/GIS literature and surfing the web ArcUser, ArcNews, workbooks (GIS Tutorial, etc.) Get an internship or research project Go to conferences, workshops

10. The Future of GIS

11. Recap *this class was about theory, basic, fundamental concepts, SOME hands-on based on a national curriculum CONCEPTS - data model, data structure, topology, data compilation, process, analysis What role does space have as a source for explanation & understanding? TECHNIQUES - overlay, buffer, map algebra, interpolation TOOLS - labs

12. GISystems, GIScience and GIStudies GISystems GIStudiesGIScience

13. GIScience, GISystems and GIStudies GIScience – fundamental scientific issues arising from the use of GISystems (concepts, techniques) GISystems – implement the storehouse of GIScience knowledge (tools, techniques) GIStudies – how systems and science are embedded in a societal context

15. Why speculate on the future? May get something right! Most of tomorrow’s systems are under development now. (UCGIS) Some of tomorrow’s systems already exist, but are not diffused through the hierarchy of potential users. Prepare for new hardware and software

17. Geographic Information Science & Technology “Body of Knowledge” http://dusk.geo.orst.edu/gis/GIS_Body_Knowledge_Flyer.pdf

18. A Research Agenda (example below) Future of the Spatial Information Infrastructure Information policy Intellectual property rights, privacy, liability Digital government research Local generation and integration of data Public participation GIS

19. Long-Term Research Priorities priorities-->research  research agenda Geographic Representation Scale Spatial Data Acquisition & Integration Spatial Cognition Spatial Ontologies Space and Space/Time Analysis & Modeling Uncertainty Visualization GIS and Society Geographic Information Engineering

20. “Grand Challenges” National Academy of Engineering Make solar energy affordable Engineer better medicines Prevent nuclear terror Provide access to clean water everywhere Secure cyberspace Reverse-engineer the brain!

21. Grand Challenges in GIScience?? Finish Digital Earth by 2015! Create digital simulations of geographic phenomena indistinguishable from real counterparts! Map or visualize all uncertainties! Find all appropriate data no matter how hidden!

22. Grand Challenges in GIScience?? What is the cost to the nation of geographic information that is inaccurate, overaccurate or out- of-date? What role can geographic technologies play in eliminating geographic illiteracy? In what ways have we yet to exploit the superiority of digital maps over paper maps? By how much can effective use of geographic information improve human safety and welfare while reducing the associated costs? Keith Clarke, UCSB

23. Grand Challenges in GIScience?? See more resources at: http://dusk.geo.orst.edu/grand_challenges.html

24. Some of the future is NOW! Desktop mapping on a budget Real high end power GIS/GPS integration Rapidly maturing market with broad public acceptance and knowledge The Web: More than data delivery

25. GIS and the Internet Access distributed data and processing systems Publish data and knowledge between users From monolithic desktop systems to distributed GI- Services Geography is still very important in cyberspace

26. GIS and the Internet Access distributed data and processing systems Publish data and knowledge between users From monolithic desktop systems to distributed GI- Services  “Server GIS” “Cloud GIS” Geography is still very important in cyberspace

27. GIS and the Internet: Mashups County map w/pie chart of election results Google Map with sunrise/sunset calculator Google Map with line generalizer so lines with GPS points load more quickly Maps with tags, comments, personalization, etc. Javascript APIs ArcGIS Javascript API for ArcGIS server

28. GIS Drivers Hardware price: performance continues to improve Hardware diversity increases Software functionality continues to improve GIScience becomes the norm More GI is created and accessible GIS plays a pivotal role in New Science Geographic measurement technologies become all-pervasive

45. Summary thus far … Understanding GIS requires consideration of science, systems and studies GIS provides a framework to manage the world The real value of GIS is its problem solving capability The future of GIS and GISci is bright

46. But there are some real issues…. (Longley et al., Chapter 20)

47. Freedom of Expression Personal Privacy vs. U.S.?Europe? For context, listen to the NPR story at http://bit.ly/d9276g

48. Constraints to GIS Development??

49. Societal Issue: Democratic Access Open and democratic access to geospatial data is now possible! Are the policies and funding in place to support this? Otherwise real danger of major disenfranchisement the right and the need to access these data. Information haves and have nots.
