Virtual USA

• An information sharing initiative (not an
  application, nor a website)
• A metasystem a system about the systems
• Florida State Emergency Response Team
  participates, creates new mapping website, KML
  network links, and GeoRSS feeds

Advantages of ArcGIS Server

• Doesnt lock shapefiles or tables being served
  meaning, to a point, you can replace files on
  server or network, and service is refreshed
  (couldnt do this in ArcIMS).
• For point features, doesnt need a shapefile
  remember Display X,Y Data? Just add a table,
  create an event layer, publish the MXD, and you
  have a service.

14
Make the Data Your Own

• Using Python, script is written to download file
  from FTP or website, extract or unzip (if
  needed), and placed on server or network drive.
• Scheduled Tasks in Control Panel run scripts at
  specified intervals.
• Service updates on-the-fly as underlying data is
  refreshed.

GeoRSS

• What is GeoRSS?
• http//georss.org
• GeoRSS is an emerging standard for encoding
  location as part of an Web feed. (Web feeds are
  used to describe feeds ("channels") of content,
  such as news articles, Audio blogs, video blogs
  and text blog entries. These web feeds are
  rendered by programs such as aggregators and web
  browsers.) The name "GeoRSS" is derived from RSS,
  the most known Web feed and syndication format.
• In GeoRSS, location content consists of
  geographical points, lines, and polygons of
  interest and related feature descriptions. GeoRSS
  feeds are designed to be consumed by geographic
  software such as map generators. By building
  these encodings on a common information model,
  the GeoRSS collaboration is promoting
  interoperability and "upwards-compatibility"
  across encodings.
