With the introduction of the ArcGIS Parcel Fabric, the techniques and procedures used to accurately maintain parcels have changed. This workshop shall review the differences between the two approaches, exploring each for limitations and advantages, and demonstrate best practices for efficiently and accurately maintaining parcels in the ArcGIS Parcel Fabric.

Please join my meeting from your computer, tablet or smartphone.

WI is gearing up for NG9-1-1, and there's a heavy lift around public safety-grade GIS data readiness.
But what exactly does that mean? Is it as simple as having the NENA required layers and a certain schema?

No. Having the required layers and correct schema are just a part of the puzzle. The real challenge with GIS data for NG9-1-1 is not identifying the required layers, but preparing those data layers to support their new function in 9-1-1. Crucial to this process is establishing an order of operations for understanding and identifying data completeness with a goal of achieving data readiness.

This workshop is going to cover the nuts and bolts of GIS data in NG9-1-1. We'll discuss the impacts of GIS on NG9-1-1 and the functions that rely on your data. And then, we're getting in the weeds by discussing the value of validations, identifying GIS anomalies that might interfere with NG9-1-1 functions, and what are the best practices for data remediation.

The WICDI project aims to establish a Wisconsin Coastal-Management Data Infrastructure. With funding from NOAA, the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program, and the State Cartographer’s Office at UW-Madison, we are combining a mapping community of practice with an innovative digital collaborative environment to improve coastal hazard planning and policy development.

Recently, WICDI Community of Practice members completed a survey ranking close to 200 culvert inventory attributes. Analyzing the results of that survey brings us closer to developing a standardized relational database model for collecting, editing, and sharing culvert data among organizations and across the Lake Superior region (and beyond).

Also speaking, here is a lineup of panelists:

• Cody Kamrowski, WEM
• Kyle Magyera, Wisconsin Wetlands
• Jason Laumann, NWRPC
• Jeremy Freund, Outagamie County

This presentation will demonstrate the use of high-definition laser scanning to capture detailed building information for 3D building information modeling (BIM).  A sample project for Hartsfield Jackson Airport in Atlanta, Georgia will be used to detail the procedures for collecting and processing terrestrial LiDAR and high-resolution imagery within the small confines of existing airport infrastructure.

In this presentation, we will explore the challenges of collecting simultaneous LiDAR and imagery in a vertical structural environment. Access to security areas, ceiling panel removal, and de-energizing of the airport’s people mover equipment are a few examples of the challenging logistics of this project.

The presentation will conclude with an exploration of how the LiDAR data and imagery were used to create an accurate building information model that is currently being used for airport design, construction, and integration into their facilities management program.

In March 2019 the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency slapped a historic $7 million penalty on the Water Gremlin company; for releasing excessive amounts of carcinogenic industrial solvents into the air. For 17 years, surrounding neighborhoods were unknowingly exposed to a toxic airborne substance at levels 12 times higher than considered safe. With air quality sensors now relatively common in highly urbanized areas; how could this go unnoticed for so long?

Nearly 2.5 billion people globally have Internet-connected phones. The computational capabilities of these devices render them extremely effective at real-time edge computing; by communicating directly with nearby sensors and performing onboard data analysis.

In this talk we’ll discuss an approach whereby human sensors collect discrete observations with the Fulcrum field data collection app. Simultaneously, the device communicates with nearby sensors; Flow by Plume Labs measuring air quality, SensorLog measuring sound pollution and Campbell Scientific devices monitoring transportation infrastructure. Analytics are performed on the device, combing human observations and raw sensor data into immediately actionable insights.

We’ll show how this approach is applied using three real-world scenarios; smart cities and healthy environments, transportation infrastructure and mining operations. We’ll demonstrate the value of context-driven data collection and situational human judgement which cannot (as of yet) be replaced. We will wrap up our discussion with a few thoughts on TensorFlow Lite, an open source deep learning framework for on-device inference.

WISE-LR is a web application developed by the LTSB specifically for the state statutes of Wisconsin and local redistricting laws in 2021. WISE-LR will allow local officials, or their delegates, to create, analyze, and share county supervisory plans, ward plans, and aldermanic plans with accurate demographic data.

Join the Municipal Users GIS Group (MUGG) in a virtual meeting during the WLIA Spring meeting. Please join in and we welcome you to bring up a topic of interest to you. Let us know what you are working on, have you done anything for COVID19, Open for Business, Restore Wisconsin, supporting your community efforts, etc. Also, are you using ArcGIS Pro yet? If so, what projects have you worked on? Any other new software from Esri that you are using? Any challenges encountered with working from home? Let us know what is happening in your part of the State.

Wisconsin WiGIS-WI was started in 2015 by Kelly Felton and Jennifer Borlick after they attended a Women in GIS Special Interest Group lunch at the 2015 Esri User Conference. Since then, they have led special interest groups at WLIA regional meetings and annual conferences, as well as the Esri Wisconsin User Group. WiGIS-WI has social media presence on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter; a Google Group; and a blog.

Join Kelly, Jennifer and special guest Cory Richter from the Minnesota GIS/LIS Equity Advocates Workgroup (EA) for a discussion about the current Women in GIS - Wisconsin group and where to take it into the future. We will look at the EA mission statement and goals, the history and results of a recent salary survey and the potential for collaboration.

As always, WiGIS-WI is looking for volunteers. If you would like to contribute in any way, please let Kelly and Jennifer know.
