Introducing <strong><strong>Arc</strong>IMS</strong><br />
• <strong>Arc</strong> Internet<br />
Map<br />
Server (<strong><strong>Arc</strong>IMS</strong>)<br />
• A framework for delivering<br />
dynamic maps, GIS data <strong>and</strong><br />
services via the Web<br />
• Open <strong>and</strong> scalable architecture,<br />
cus<strong>to</strong>mizable<br />
• Establishes a common platform for<br />
distributed GIS<br />
– Wider data access <strong>and</strong> sharing<br />
– Easier <strong>to</strong> use
Transactions<br />
• <strong><strong>Arc</strong>IMS</strong> is “stateless”<br />
• Uses the hypertext transfer pro<strong>to</strong>col (HTTP)<br />
– Rules for transferring information over the Web<br />
• Transaction = request + response<br />
