Topic 10- GIS layers to web
Outline
GIS data to web What is KML? Conversion of data to KMZ Overlaying KMZ data on web (Google
Earth) Convert a kmz file to ArcGIS layer
2
GIS data to web Graphic display of GIS spatial data in
applications such as Google Earth
Layers – features or raster layer converted
Map- map document converted
Process uses conversion to KML for display on web
3
What is KML? Keyhole Markup Language (KML)
Format to store geographic data & associated content
Share with non-GIS users on and viewed on Internet using free applications such as Google Earth
Composed of features & raster: points, lines, polygons, and imagery as well as pictures and attributes
KML files are compressed to KMZ format
4
Conversion of data to KMZ Tool converts a feature or raster layer into a KML file
containing a translation of Esri geometries and symbology. File is compressed using ZIP compression, has a .kmz extension Can be read by any KML client including ArcGIS Explorer, ArcGlobe, and Google Earth. To access: Arctoolbox> Conversion tools> To KML> Layer to KML
5
Use to convertindividual data layer
Conversion of data to KMZ Tool converts a entire map document (.mxd) into a KML file
containing a translation of Esri geometries and symbology. File is compressed using ZIP compression, has a .kmz extension Can be read by any KML client including ArcGIS Explorer, ArcGlobe, and Google Earth. To access: Arctoolbox> Conversion tools> To KML> Map to KML
6
Use to convertmap document
Overlaying KMZ data on web (Google Earth) Convert to kmz in arcGIS; Open Google Earth and add the kmz file
7
Conversion of data to KMZ Tool converts a KMZ file into an ArcGIS layer
To access: Arctoolbox> Conversion tools> From KML> KML to Layer
8
Use to convertKMZ to ArcGIS layer
