Outline ► Software description ► Why we’re using it  MA EPHT Portal Demo  Webigeo vs. ESRI ► How we’re implementing it  Back end functionality  System Architecture  Future Enhancements ► Questions

What is Webigeo? ► Galigeo product ► ‘Webigeo Location Intelligence brings rich data visualization and geomapping to Business Intelligence application’ ► ‘Webigeo connects directly to Business Intelligence applications, maps large-scale datasets and applies spatial processing to enhance data visualization, reporting and predictive analytics’

What is Webigeo? Webigeo links ArcGIS server and IBM Cognos to provide thematic maps showing dynamic query results

What is Webigeo? ► User can alter symbology of query results  Range  Individual values  Bar / pie charts  Proportional symbols ► Basic+ map functionality / tools  Pan / zoom  Maps tips (configurable)  Feature ID  Feature selection by point, circle, or poly  Hot Spots  Clustering  Center of gravity  Network Analyst

Current MA EPHT System ► Funding from CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Program  23 states, 1 city, 5 academic partners ► Presents health and environmental data to the public ► Portal currently hosted externally ► Uses ESRI Maps for Cognos  Formerly SpotOn Vantage

Current MA EPHT System ► Health Data  Asthma  Birth Defects  Cancer  CO Poisoning  Childhood Lead Poisoning  Heart Attack Hospitalization  Pediatric Asthma  Reproductive Outcomes ► Environmental Data  Air Quality  Drinking Water Quality

Current MA EPHT System ► Externally hosted & supported ► De-identified record level data in the database ► Cognos queries present rates, counts, etc in charts, tables, graphs and maps, based on user’s input

Implementation ► Current version still in Dev ► MA EPHT Portal will include various queryable reports presenting health and environmental data ► Query results will be presented in a tabbed format  Table  Charts / Graphs  Dynamic Webigeo Map

Nuts & Bolts ► Webigeo Admin panel  Establish joins between Map Service layers & Cognos data  Set up map symbology ► Cognos report author imbeds Webigeo map in report as an iframe ► Leverages Cognos’ security ► Widgets / Add-ons via.xml config files

Adding Map Services

Configure Map Services

Configure Joins

Nuts & Bolts

► User visits Cognos report ► Webigeo BI connector (embedded within Cognos) sends report parameters to Webigeo server ► Webigeo server gets query data from Cognos server ► Webigeo processes query results and makes them available to be used by ggo_cartographic_viewer ► Webigeo client - through iframe embedded in report – calls flex ggo_cartographic_viewer client telling it that geo-bi data are available on Webigeo server ► Flex ggo_cartographic_viewer client gets geo-bi data and joins them with ArcGIS Server REST mapservice layers ► Geo-bi data displayed on the map according to predetermined thematic symbologies
