The Disadvantageous of Web GIS & Their Solutions Whether it is scientific, social, technological, or theoretical, there are always flaws and improvements that can be created for a particular topic. The iPhone first came out in 2007 with features such as Visual Voicemail, multi-touch gestures, HTML email, Safari web browser, threaded text messaging, and Youtube. Many of the features that are common in Smartphones today such as MMS, apps, and copy and paste, did not exist. However, every year since 2007, the iPhone gradually became more advanced with a multitude of features available. This same concept can be applied to the flaws of Web GIS. This system is faulty, however, with the continuous advancement in technology and more research that can be conducted on the structure of this platform, several Internet GIS may be resolved. Internet GIS, while a powerful tool, has a broad range of issues varying from technological complications to social justice issues.
There are many Web GIS issues that must be resolved in order for its full potential to be maximized. Firstly, the Web GIS environment is dependent on several technological factors. Among these are internet connection and speed (Dragicevic, 2004), traffic intensity, data efficiency, and the capacity of the client and server machines (Kraak, 2004). Internet GIS relies heavily on the extensive use of graphics, and connection speeds over the Internet can make heavy use of graphic intolerably slow for users.
The current presidential election has wrought a quagmire of unthinkable actions by politicians in plain sight of the American public’s eye. With specific regard to the GOP, the former playbook of politics, consistent with unwavering party loyalty, has certainly been pushed out of print; especially by current speaker of the house, Paul Ryan. This essay will detail the estranged relationship between Paul Ryan and his party base, as rendered by New York Times correspondent Robert Draper, scrutinize the article’s inherent biases, and ultimately contextualize the situation in terms of Kelly’s leadership patterns.
Every 14 minutes, a person is killed by prescription drugs -- and unlike most other causes of preventable death, which have been on the decline for years, medication-induced deaths are on the upswing across the US. According to a recent analysis conducted by the Los Angeles Times (LA Times), drug-induced deaths have become so prevalent that their average yearly total now exceeds the number of deaths caused by traffic accidents. It is truly a sad day in the world when the very medications prescribed for treating disease are one of the leading causes of death, including among young children. And based on data retrieved by the LA Times, the number of drug fatalities has doubled within the past ten years, as legal drugs now kill nearly 38,000 Americans
Although research shows that adolescent use is harmful to developing brains, Dr. Kevin Hill of McLean Hospital's Division of Alcohol and Drug Abuse commented, “The growing body of research that includes this study suggests that medical marijuana laws do not increase adolescent use and future decisions that states make about whether or not to enact medical marijuana laws should be at least partly guided by this evidence” (Borchardt). Other research is showing that pot use is increasing among teens-- ironically though, that increase is not in the states where it is legal. The National Survey on Drug Use points out that marijuana has consistently been the most accessible illicit drug since 1975 when 81% of teens reported they could get it, before
The literature available on the implementation of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in local governments, examined in this paper, spans a time period from 1996 to 2014. The topics covered include barriers to and effective techniques for the successful introduction of GIS at the municipal or regional government level. Many of the articles, are case studies that begin by stating the problem, analyzing the previous research completed, and introducing a case-study. This paper includes a critical review of projects completed in the United States and internationally. Specifically, two case studies are derived from an examination of GIS implementation in Shenzhen, China, India, and the Amsterdam, Netherlands. The relevant literature covered here, traces a history of GIS implementation and barriers experienced from early projects in the late 1980s and 1990s to the present. A general theme is the importance of human factors, planning, and project support. The paper begins with a discussion of two methodologies promulgated by Roger Tomlinson (an expert in the field of GIS) and a prominent individual in the overall project management discipline named Robert Wyscoki. This is followed by a discussion of the other authors and how they compare to the
Geographic Information System (GIS) is a spatial information system for creating, organizing, integrating, querying, analyzing and displaying spatial data pertaining to real world. The integration of spatial data and attribute data and data from various sources is one of the strongest features of GIS. The spatial data in the form of maps, satellite images, aerial photographs, GPS observations and adhered to a common spatial framework are integrated in GIS environment for ‘what if analysis’ and spatial decision support.
Today’s society relies heavily on the use of computers and computerised information, so much so that we rarely notice when an activity or action involves the use of technology. Over the past 30 years, technology has continued to develop into extremely complex systems capable of processing large amounts of data. It is now possible to represent not only numbers and letters, but also images, sounds and maps (Bernhardsen, 2002, p. 1). A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer system or application designed to perform a variety of operations based on geographic information. GIS is a tool used by many organisations, businesses, schools, governments and individuals searching for innovative ways to solve problems (Evans, 2014). Geographic Information Systems allow users to map, model, analyse and query data all within a single database according to their location (Evans, 2014). Information about the world is stored as a collection of layers; these layers can be linked together by a common locational component such as zip codes, latitude and longitude or road name. These geographic references allow individuals to locate features for analysis of trends and patterns (Evans, 2014). Dozens of layers can be added and organised to display a wide array of information on many subjects.
GIS – Geographical information system has been implemented to improve the quality of services given for customers in Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd. (RJIL) with network elements asset, and Integration in various operation support & Business support systems.
The paper will begin with a literature review on the sources used for research including conference papers, lectures, and trade magazines. Immediately following the literature review, there will be the discussion which entails a thorough explanation of the fundamental concepts that contribute to the foundation of Geographic Information Systems. After the explanation of concepts, there will be high level summary of Roger Tomlinson’s GIS implementation plan for companies. This paper will then discuss the current trends and major industries that are utilizing GIS. In the end, there will be a conclusion that will include a future analysis on GIS.

In order to represent the spatial information and their attributes, a data model – a set of logical definitions or rules for characterizing the geographical data is adopted. The data model represents the linkages between the real world domain of geographical data and the GIS representation of these features. As a result, the data model not only helps in organizing the real-world geographical features into a systematic storage/retrieval mechanism but also helps in capturing the perception of user about the features. GIS packages differ according to the data structure and adopted data structure defines in-built GIS capabilities and need for customization. How the user would be interacting with the GIS data for retrieval, analysis and modeling is dependant on the structure of storing the data. Raster and vector are two basic data structure data models. How real world variations are captured as vector data and raster data in GIS is represented as figure 4.1.2, each data model tends to fit certain types of applications better than the other.
GIS is about the way to manage and organize the data. There are two kinds of data in GIS system. The two data which is the spatial data and the attribute data could enable GIS to represent the real world into attractive digital map. The ability of GIS to use spatial data which could represent real world distinguishes the GIS with other system in managing the data (Haque 2001). Utilization of GIS is an increase in many activities for example planning or other activities which are requirement a
Many of years, humans have admired cyber space as a magical world & talked about its contribution to world from past Vs what we are today. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the world still keep on getting amused about its power and potential by further innovation. We started building intelligent chips which can be embedded into “Car” system to navigate around the world OR transport system which helps in monitoring the location of trains OR wireless devices which keeps on sending data to earth from space etc. All of these which are more commonly used as term “Internet of thing” works well in convergence of Cyber world or Internet. However, while we were growing towards next generation using cyber space, there was a small community started incubating which sensed the negative advantage of cyber space which can be taken for their own profit. This profit can be in form of money, defamation of competitors, revealing secrets etc. this community were commonly known as “Hackers”. These hackers are constantly challenging & questioning the security of Cyber Space.
Today, most online websites have their own online assistance such as live chat room, email and FAQ (frequently asked questions) that offer the customers an easy way to get in touch when they need help. Help desk has been here for many years. Its history is very important because it has structured how users handle their technical issues. Before the computer boom, users with technical problems would have to get in contact with a call center to resolve their problems. With the constant growth of the technical advancement, help desk is something that is very much needed. Websites have helped users with online assistance because of the convenient it offers compared to pre-websites.

The Internet has changed our way of thinking. It changed the way one can think about geography and global communication. Millions of people worldwide are using the Internet to share information, make new associations and communicate. Individuals and businesses, students and journalists, consultants, programmers and corporate giants are all harnessing the power of the Internet. For many businesses the Internet is becoming integral to their operations. Imagine the ability to send and receive data -- messages, notes, letters, documents, pictures, video, sound -- just about any form of communication, as effortlessly as making a phone call. It is easy to understand why the Internet is rapidly becoming the corporate communications medium (Whyte 338). Using the mouse on your computer, the familiar point-and-click functionality gives you access to electronic mail for sending and receiving data, and file transfer for copying files from one computer to another. Telnet services allow you to establish connections with systems on the other side of the world as if they were just next door (Black 11). At the tip of your fingertips, you have access to just about anything. The Internet has become our alternate brain.
