Natural Resources Conservation 597J - ST- GIS in the Real World

Outside of academia, GIS is often different than what you have learned in Intro to GIS class. You need to work in an "enterprise" GIS environment, where you may have limited ability to alter or even access certain layers. This course will introduce you to how to work in an enterprise environment. Topics include: importing data from the web (formats, meta-data, projections, etc.); using GIS layers from an enterprise server (via ArcSDE for example); quality control of GIS layers (what are the rules for importing data?); using WEB-based GIS for storing and distributing data products or services.
