Spatial Data Visualization

GSS believes that the value of data is defined by its accessibility and presentation. If end-users cannot access the data they need or understand the data in front of them, then we have not done our job as GIS professionals.

When it comes to data accessibility, every step is taken to ensure we are providing clean data that is easy to access; from organized databases, appropriate attribution, or even metadata standards set by the Federal Geographic Data Committee.

The art of cartography is not lost here at GSS. We have mastered the skill of static map making and can confidently say those skills have translated over into the dynamic world of web maps. Due to the wide variety in consumers of our data, we take pride in creating maps that anyone, from the scientific community to the public, can understand.

British Petroleum (BP) Project

Over the years, GSS has assisted BP with a variety of geospatial projects, from converting data to a digital format compatible with ArcGIS to the creation of datasets for use in risk analysis. GSS also developed the OneCall web application for ArcGIS Server, which converted the existing BP internet mapping site (IMS) to an updated version of ArcServer while maintaining the functionality of the original IMS. The purpose of the application was to enable efficient internet-based delivery of the North American BP pipeline database, including spatial data display, overlay, navigation tools, drawing, and print functionalities.
