I. Introduction
ArcIMS 3.1 is the
latest version of a GIS based software that is useful in designing
interactive GIS internet maps. The map server will be launched on a machine
(lynx) in the Hydrology lab in the Civil and Environmental Engineering
Department at USU.
II. Objective
This term paper will discuss the A-Z steps for installing and running
ArcIMS 3.1 Recommendations will be given to avoid common errors in the
installation procedure. The paper, to be completed by the end of this
semester, will show the how to build a GIS Internet Map server using Arc
IMS 3.1. The server will allow users to fully interact with the maps by
using the features of well known GIS softwares (ArcView ArcGIS). Another
objective is to give guidelines for authoring, designing, and
administrating your map service. It will also give useful hints about the
type(s) of GIS data that can be incorporated into the maps service. Special
emphasis will be given to building map services of Hydrology and Natural
Resources of Cache County area. Data will include Cache Valley Watersheds,
Logan River Watershed, Cub River
and little Bear River
natural resources. Available will be some maps on soil and vegetation of
parts of Utah and South
Idaho.
To access map services, please use Internet Explorer only. Due to some
technical difficulties, you will not be able to view the maps using
Netscape browser.
