3. Purpose of Project Promoting a Healthy Environment

4. Develop a solution for BFP to improve its efficiency and productivity managing geographic multimedia data Promoting a Healthy Environment

5. Introduction

6. What is geographic multimedia data?  Multimedia data containing geographic component or able to be linked to geographic features  Elements: digital photos, audios, & videos  Digital photos: taken by traditional digital cameras or GPS-cameras Promoting a Healthy Environment

7. BFP  Bond Forfeiture Program: an office at WVDEP to clean up forfeited mine sites and treat water polluted by mining  Funded by forfeited bond collections, civil penalties, and the Special Reclamation Tax on mined coal  Three satellite offices statewide Promoting a Healthy Environment

8. BFP utilizes geographic multimedia data to Promoting a Healthy Environment  Record historic data  Help manage treatment sites  Assist treatment project design  Track forfeited sites  Track water sampling sites  …

9. Examples of usage: water monitoring Promoting a Healthy Environment The left digital photo shows impact of AMD from Sovern Run into Big Sandy Creek in Preston County, WV The right digital photo shows a BFP inspector conducting field analysis and taking a water sample

10. Examples of usage: water treatment Promoting a Healthy Environment Hawksnest, WV

11. Problem Statement Promoting a Healthy Environment

12. Challenges  No central geographic multimedia data warehouse  Separate multimedia datasets  No data connection  No data sharing  No data integration: not dynamically linked to BFP Oracle database  No geographic linkage: not all geographically enabled  No user-friendly management applications

13. What are the expectations for the solution? Promoting a Healthy Environment  A central geographic multimedia data warehouse  Easy-to-use management applications  A group of trained users  An integral part of BFP enterprise GIS (EGIS)

14. Solution Promoting a Healthy Environment

15. Solution Components  BFP geographic multimedia data warehouse  BFP Digital Media Uploader  BFP ArcMap toolbar  Part of BFP EGIS Promoting a Healthy Environment

16. Geographic Multimedia Data Warehouse  Data saved in a file based storage system  Meta data saved in two Oracle tables  Saved by the BFP Digital Media Uploader Promoting a Healthy Environment

17. BFP Digital Media Uploader  Help users review multimedia data or add comments  Assign primary keys to the data so they are geographically enabled and linked to the BFP Oracle database  Save the data and their meta data Promoting a Healthy Environment

18. Button C: click to add or read comments Button E: click to view in an full extent Button H: click to view head info. Button L: click to show spatial location if available Click to browse multimedia data Click to upload multimedia data

19. BFP ArcMap Toolbar VM tool allows users to View Multimedia data in the ArcGIS / ArcMap interface Promoting a Healthy Environment

21. Typical Workflow  Acquire multimedia data  Use BFP Digital Media Uploader to save it to the BFP geographic multimedia data warehouse  Use VM tool to browse/view the data in ArcMap Promoting a Healthy Environment

22. BFP EGIS  Existing IT infrastructure  Geospatial data warehouse  ArcSDE multiple user geo-database  BFP Oracle database  Geographic multimedia data warehouse  Geospatial applications  ArcGIS desktop ArcMap BF toolbar  ArcPad mobile GIS application  BFP Digital Media Uploader Promoting a Healthy Environment

23. Conclusions & Discussion Promoting a Healthy Environment

24. Conclusions and Discussion  Uniqueness  Significance  Future Work Promoting a Healthy Environment

25. Uniqueness of Project  Cost-effectiveness  Easy-of-use application  Geographic multimedia data warehouse Promoting a Healthy Environment
