Colonial pipeline’s asset data management team maintains large volumes of data, CAD facility drawings, and historical records. Organizing and encapsulating this data has been a historical challenge. Frequent requests for data relevant to individual projects was time-consuming and laborious. Colonial Scout was designed to be a simple self-help tool that allows employees to locate data quickly. Further, it was constructed to provide a one-stop shop for accessing Colonial data in its most current and up to date forms. Design of the Colonial Scout application took approximately six months to complete. The final result is an intuitive web map application connected to a versioned enterprise geodatabase. Within the application, relevant tools interact with live data, providing immediate access to Colonial’s most up to date information. Integration with FME server, adept document management and Esri’s ArcGIS enterprise have advanced colonial scout’s efficiency in locating data. These software products enhance colonial scout’s power as a help-yourself product for accessing current information through means of helpful data visualization. Colonial Scout is the go to source for alignment sheets, CAD drawings, property and easement records, locating tank assets, and Colonial’s 5,500 miles of pipeline assets. Users also have the ability to download data in a variety of file formats for project specific analysis and reports. Colonial Scout has significantly reduced the number of work orders related to searching for data, drawings and records. Employees are better informed by acquiring the latest information and no longer rely on outdated paper hardcopies. Colonial Scout is an innovative and expandable solution for Colonial’s ever-growing data needs.

Abstract. As part of a large European coastal operational oceanography project (ECOOP), we have developed a web portal for the display and comparison of model and in-situ marine data. The distributed model and in-situ datasets are accessed via an Open Geospatial Consortium Web Map Service (WMS) and Web Feature Service (WFS) respectively. These services were developed independently and readily integrated for the purposes of the ECOOP project, illustrating the ease of interoperability resulting from adherence to international standards. The key feature of the portal is the ability to display co-plotted timeseries of the in-situ and model data and the quantification of misfits between the two. By using standards-based web technology we allow the user to quickly and easily explore over twenty model data feeds and compare these with dozens of in-situ data feeds without being concerned with the low level details of differing file formats or the physical location of the data. Scientific and operational benefits to this work include model validation, quality control of observations, data assimilation and decision support in near real time. In these areas it is essential to be able to bring different data streams together from often disparate locations.

In this paper we will define and describe a novel approach for the development of context-driven Web Map solutions. Our approach relies on an architecture we define and present in this paper as an enhancement of GIS application interoperability platforms. The enhancement is performed through introduction of a specific architectural layer which enables the development of context-driven Web Map solutions. A novel architectural layer we introduce consists of two central components: Web Map Context Service and Context Proposal Service. These services take advantage of existing GeoNis framework for interoperability of GIS applications and enable users get appropriately visualized geospatial data depending on their Web map context. The novel architectural layer performs externalization of Web map contexts in separate files complaint to Web Map Context Documents specification. Web map context files are used as configuration files to configure map display elements for each user. Rendering capabilities are also delegated to the client side which simplifies server components and improves system performances. The enhanced platform is capable of adapting to different users? needs without changing its internal structure and improves the level Web Map solution usability. Also, in this paper we will present an implementation of the proposed architecture and services with purpose of demonstrating the ability of our proposal to apply the existing GIS application interoperability platform for different Web map contexts and styles for viewing maps.

Common Operating Picture

ABSTRACT How can the responders of an oil spill operation make sure that the Common Operating Picture (COP) gives the situational awareness that is needed? How can the response personnel avoid producing and consuming so much data that the COP gets overloaded with information? How can the users differentiate the “need to have” from the “nice to have” data? And what type of information do response personnel need offshore, and is that same information relevant for the Incident Command Post? These are some of the questions that NOFO has discussed with the Norwegian Coastal Administration, our partner in the project “Web based map solution”. The project has so far developed a shoreline response tool, consisting of a web map solution and a mobile application (App). With the “Shoreline App” you can collect data in the field, take pictures and video, view oil contamination, and quickly communicate this to the web map-solution. This new technology enables the response organisation to document and act faster, more efficient with increased accuracy. The shoreline clean-up module includes SCAT, work assignments and daily reports from the field, as well as statistics and analysing tools. Inspired by IOGP-IPIECA (2015), NOFO have started to improve the NOFO COP OSR (oil spill response) to cover offshore, nearshore and shoreline operations. The scope for this work is to create a seamless integration of the different data that we receive, especially the surveillance sensor data such as aerial overflights, satellite images, images from ships and UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). All the data registered in the system are given a predefined timeframe in which they will automatically be deactivated from the COP. This aids us in managing the data flow, presenting the latest information available, and avoid taking action based on outdated information. A timeline gives either predictions, real time information or historical data, and enables the user to “play off” the incident from Day 1 until the end, or even for a specific period. The Adaptive interface, which is the platform the NOFO COP OSR uses, features the possibility to build different COP viewpoints for different levels in the response organisation. The NOFO COP OSR may also be used for communication externally during and after clean-up efforts. The public and press can get limited insight through role-based access. Based on the collected data, statistics and graphs are easily generated for use in the preparation of reports and presentations.
