44 GIS COMMUNITY NEWS New Esri Press Book Available Ocean Globe Sheds Light on Advances in Seafloor Mapping Ocean Globe details recent progress in seafloor documentation, bathymetry, and related GIS ocean and marine mapping projects. There is particular focus on bathymetry—the study of underwater depth of the third dimension—within the context of work done to collaboratively map and study the ocean floor. The contributors to Ocean Globe deem collaborative mapping as key in changing the future of bathymetry, and Ocean Globe presents their methods, formulas, problems, and the solutions they applied in these efforts. Themes, such as physical, social, economic, biological, and ecological change, as they relate to oceanographic mapping are present throughout. In addition, each chapter portrays a different facet of maritime research that relies on ocean floor mapping for its success. The need and emphasis for better conservation in addressing the diversity of the world’s oceans and seas are also conveyed. With a shared goal of joining disparate data collected over decades, the contributors of this volume turned to GIS as a tool for sharing information and advancing the science of bathymetry. Ocean Globe is edited by Joe Breman, lead GIS architect for Akimeka, LLC, in Maui, Hawaii, and includes an introduction by Dawn J. Wright, professor of geography and oceanography at Oregon State University. It was written and edited for an international audience of GIS users, ocean and Esri Business Partner Offerings Esri maintains relationships with more than 2,000 business partners that provide focused assistance to our customers.

Enterprise Utilities Telvent www.miner.com Designer Express Designer Express is a new ArcGIS software-based sketching product in the ArcFM solution of utility tools. It offers a full suite of editing tools, as well as posting, plotting, and cost estimate reporting, so engineers can quickly create utility network design sketches and cost estimates without the overhead of compatible unit integration. Designer Express is a graphic design application for utilities that lack an integrated work management system or do not have accounting-based requirements built into the design process. One Call Ticket Management Pro-West & Associates, Inc. www.prowestgis.com One Call Ticket Management System The One Call Ticket Management System (OCTMS) works with one call center tickets and integrates with positive response systems. The OCTMS receives tickets from state one call systems and distributes them through a Web-based ArcGIS Server application. Locators can view ticket locations, print tickets and maps, and edit tickets in single or batch mode in a real-time, mobile environment. OCTMS lets users view ticket records and maps simultaneously, use internal GIS data, perform automated ticket splitting, and eliminate fax/e-mail record sorting, and it provides an easy-to-use ticket history search. Geospatial Intelligence BAE Systems www.baesystems.com/gxp SOCET GXP The Spatially Enabled Exploitation module for SOCET GXP connects image analysts directly to Esri geodatabases. Users with limited photogrammetry experience can populate the Esri geodatabase to answer critical questions using temporal, spatial, and attribute queries. Analysts who are more familiar with Esri tools can access the ArcGIS Desktop application ArcMap directly from SOCET GXP with the added benefit of using SOCET for ArcGIS with optional extraction in a SOCET GXP stereo multiport. ArcMap stores and retrieves feature data, while SOCET GXP displays vectors on the imagery with the associated sensor model. System Architecture VESTRA Resources Inc. www.vestra.com The Trio The Trio from VESTRA is a set of add-on components to the Cityworks product line that leverages Esri software and optimizes GIS performance. Consisting of an online service request, dashboard, and GIS system monitor, the Trio enhances client and public interaction by providing flexible, easyto-use solutions for a variety of applications.
