- Elevation: digital elevation models & contours – State & Federal
- Hydrography: rivers & streams, water bodies, & watershed boundaries – State
- Address Points – Cities, Counties, & State
- Structures: 2D building footprints, bridges, towers – Cities, Counties, & State
- 2′ orthos for the WHOLE STATE of Iowa!
- 5 counties that don’t have GIS programs in Iowa! That is IMPRESSIVE! (June 2010)
- Geocoding Project (Western half FY 2010-11 & Eastern FY 2012-13)

– Stream centerline demo
– Floodplain mapping demo
- WHOLE STATE of Iowa’s Lidar has been COMPLETED! Avail. from UNI server
- Some using lidar for flood plain mapping
- Q:Why are we doing this?? A:So we are ready for the next time.
- “Why do people want frickin contours??????!?!?!?!?!?!?” (Talking about people DEMANDING contours)

– Historical aerial photography demo
– High-resolution land cover demo
- Terrago (Toolbars & Resources)
- Must use Acrobat to unlock layers
- 3-D Geopdf
- import geomarks
- Can’t do Animations w/ Geopdfs… yet
10:45-11:15 – Statewide Geocoding Project update – Zeb Squires and Evan Koester, IDNR
– Demo of address point collection process
- Over 1/2 Million Points placed so far! (A little under-half done)
- Pick up on shadows & use to classify
- Doing this ALL by hand! WOW!
- Future: maintained w/ next generation 911 system or county guys maintain
– GPS crowd-sourcing demo – Tyler Johnson
- Fun, inexpensive solution to collect address data for the geocoding project
- Take pics or notes of houses
- Crowd-sourced counties (Completed)
- Adair County (greenfield)
- Ida County (Ida Grove, Holstein, Battle Creek, Galva, Arthur)
- Equipment
- Camera (res not to big, not to small)

- Clipboard (papermap w/ assigned route)
- Data collection
- Carried GPS & photographed buildings
- Captured the address & building function
- Transfering
- EasyGPS
- Photo program
- Used GPS Photo Link (Bought a license, since it worked good for them.)
- Couple hours of Post Proc.
11:15 – 12:00 – Web services
– DOT transportation web services – Matt Rohlf, IDOT
- All services are internal (for now)
- GeoNexus
- ArcGIS Server 9.3.1
- Uses esri flex api
- Jetfire
- Demos Apps
- Lidar finder
- Imagery finder
- Future
- Geonexus
- ArcGIS Server 10
- “Flat” architecture
- Improved performance
- Improved redundancy/failover
- Reduce servers
- Exposing jetfire services through datapower SOA State of Iowa App
– Elevation services and NRGIS Library – Casey Kohrt, IDNR
- Casey Kohrt from the Iowa Do Not Resuscitate dept
- NRGIS Library
- NRGIS FTP Library
