Hello DMAC Community,
This month's IOOS DMAC Tech webinar on Thursday, January 30th at 3pm EST will feature guest speaker Jerad King from the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System (GCOOS) for a webinar titled "Erddap2agol: Bridging Data Services and WebGIS for the Next Generation of Marine Science".
We encourage DMAC representatives from the RAs and the marine data
community to attend this webinar to learn more about GCOOS' development of a robust tool for reliably transferring datasets between ERDDAP
™
services and ArcGIS Online (AGOL). Erddap2agol (
https://github.com/GCOOS/erddap2agol) is a "hands-off" Python package designed to operate seamlessly within the AGOL environment. Its core functionalities include creating, managing, and updating ERDDAP
™
datasets at various levels of granularity.
Abstract:
ERDDAP™
is a powerful platform that serves an important role in hosting and distributing quality metrological and oceanographic data to users. Using ERDDAP™
can be challenging for new users, however, due to a cumbersome user interface that can only be circumvented with RESTful web services. Additionally, ERDDAP™
lacks native integration with contemporary GIS platforms. In contrast, ArcGIS online provides a user-friendly experience to not only access and store data but perform analysis with a host of services. Finding quality data on ArcGIS Online can be challenging, however, as the technical barrier to publishing data is comparatively lower than ERDDAP™
.
We seek to rectify this problem with the development of
erddap2agol, a python-based data service for creating, managing, and updating ERDDAP
™
data on ArcGIS Online. This session will demonstrate the simple process of using erddap2agol to create real-time datasets from live ERDDAP
™
services, and how to leverage visualization tools in the ArcGIS Online ecosystem for analysis.
Please note, we have moved our meeting platform to Webex. Please see the new connection information below.
