1. Indianapolis GIS Service-Oriented Architecture
Chuck Carufel, City of Indianapolis Joe LaCombe, Woolpert, Inc.

2. GIS within a Service Oriented Architecture, (SOA)

3. What Is It ?
“A Service-oriented Architecture is a collection of services that communicate with each other and with applications. The services are self-contained and do not depend on the context or state of the other service. These services work within a distributed architecture.”
Or…..

4. Highly Reusable
Standards-based
Makes GIS Invisible To The Consumer
Cross-platform – Machine to Machine
Adds New Capabilities To Old Apps/Databases

5. Developer/Integration Toolkit SOAP Standard Compliant
ArcGIS Server Based
No User Interface
No Map
Developer/Integration Toolkit
SOAP Standard Compliant
Simple Object Access Protocol
Service Oriented Architecture Protocol
An XML-based envelope or wrapper with references to underlying protocols.

6. IndyGIS Web Services

7. Example Web Methods
Public Function SimpleGeocode(_ ByVal address As String, _ ByVal zone As String, _ ByVal level As String, _ ByVal outputProjection As String, _ ByVal minimumCandidateScore As String, _ ByVal minimumMatchScore As String _ ) As Response Public Function FallbackGeocode (_ ByVal address As String, _ ByVal zone As String, _ ByVal startLevel As String, _ ByVal endLevel As String, _ ByVal outputProjection As String, _ ByVal minimumCandidateScore As String, _ ByVal minimumMatchScore As String _ ) As Response

8. Easy to program against…
Re-create

9. Why? From a technical point-of-view…
Separate the business logic from what you “see”
Keep all the common, ArcObjects-intense, code on ArcGIS Server machine
More scalable, centralized
Keeps you from having multiple sources of select by buffer code…
Separate the client from the server
deploy web applications on separate web server
Extremely beneficial if deploying public web sites - eliminates need to deploy ArcGIS Server machine/replicated SDE outside of firewall
Remove dependency on ArcGIS Server/Web ADF within your client application
Talk about separation of client from ArcGIS Server/Web ADF
Use web services to perform ArcObjects intensive processes – some nearly impossible when working with public sites with a firewall in the mix

28. What is a Workflow? A program declared as set of activities
Coordinates people and software
Has real-world control flow
Runs durably and transparently
Tolerates dynamic change
Like a flowchart….
or a state diagram….
or based on rules. 28

31. How does GIS SOA fit within the enterprise?
GIS becomes a visually smaller, yet more powerful component…
That can tie everything together…
Automated business process workflows…
CRM
Permitting
ERP
Latest technology…
MOSS 2007
Content
Management
CMMS
So, GIS becomes smaller in what we “see” in terms of maps, but a much larger part of the overall enterprise, helping to tie things together through a geographic context. Integrating the services with Work Order Management, Permitting, Customer Relationship Management, Enterprise Resource Planning, and Content Management systems allows you to geographically query and analyze work orders, permits, service requests, financial revenues, and share the content across the enterprise in an entire new and effective way… And technology is making this easier as we identify and automate business process workflows services, incorporating the GIS services resulting in a truly integrated architecture.
