Spatial Data Management

Communities and organizations have information/data which characterizes a specific area or region and need that information organized and up to date.  Spatial data is found in all shapes, forms and fashions, so often times the need is for someone to manage the information that exists.

  • Shape files
  • Feature Classes
  • Geodatabases
  • Coverage's

Spatial Data Acquisition/Analysis

Both public and private sector worlds are beginning to understand the vast amount of insight that can be gained from spatial analysis of the world around us.  In its simplest terms, all things are entities possessing a spatial reference and attributes/characteristics that describe them.  As we continue to manage that information within geographic information systems, we continue to make better policy, development and business decisions.

Spatial Data Dissemination

The convergence of geographic information systems (GIS) and the World Wide Web has changed mapmaking forever. Once produced by mechanical means, detailed maps can now be generated on demand from huge databases of spatial information and transmitted instantly across the globe. Suddenly GIS, until recently a specialized tool of scientists and city planners, is dispensing all manner of geographic information to an enthusiastic Internet audience. The value of geographic information (like all forms of digital information) and the power of GIS applications to solve problems are proportional to their accessibility.

  • Internet Map Services (ArcIMS)
  • Printed Maps/Posters
  • Digital Maps/Posters

Virtual Community Visualization

Technology now allows us to build computer models of real-world places. In so doing, when we are faced with choices within our community about where and how to build, we can analyze the options using our computer model.  Using the computer we can calculate potential positive and negative impacts of all kinds.  In short, you can examine your choices in the computer before actually implementing them in the real world.  The ability to examine different scenarios and learn of their possible positive and negative impacts has extraordinary implications.
