Niger-HYCOS USGS Charlie Frye, Mapping Center Team Slide 2 Jack + David = Big Vision Bringing this big vision into focus Start with global: - World Meteorlogical Organization (WMO: http://www.wmo.int) - World Hydrological Cycle Observing System (WHYCOS: http://www.whycos.org) Sharper focus = Not about data - Weve got so much data - The future is in applications that make that data useful to us and others - It always starts with one simple application: Water Balance Summary Slide 3 Making Apps Work is How We Learn Keep Focusing - Learn how to host content that drive applications: - Information Layers - Query & Analysis services - Start with Simple application that does one useful task - Get people to use it and as for more (be user-driven) - More tasks - Greater resolution, larger scales, national through local content Information is more valuable when its accessible. Slide 4 Hosted on ArcGIS.com Our challenge is to figure out how to host layers and services - Monthly content summaries drive initial applications - Build an online community and home place for world hydro Long term: Shift to facilitating data producers to use ArcGIS.com hosting services - Find impedances and flatten them by sharing understanding - Get real - do things together - leading in ways that the community finds valuable Slide 5 Thank You Please provide us feedback on this workshop: Evaluations are online: www.esri.com/sessionevals
