GEOG585: Internet Mapping: Lab 9

Question 1

Open ArcGIS on your workstation and verify that the “Data Interoperability” extension is
installed.  Done.

Question 2

Add three WMS layers to a new map project in ArcMAP, with one coming from each of the
following WMS services (as represented by their GetCapabilities requests)

1. EDAC’s Imagery WMS Service: http://edacwms.unm.edu/cgi-bin/mapfiles/edacimagery?

2. FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer WMS Service: http://hazards.fema.gov/wmsconnector/wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap/NFHL?

3. NRCS Soil Data Mart WMS Service: http://SDMDataAccess.nrcs.usda.gov/Spatial/SDM.wms?

In your write-up include the names of the layers you added, which service they came
from, and screen shots showing each of them in the QGIS client interface.

Layer Name: Flood Hazard Zones (Detailed) Service: http://hazards.fema.gov
Layer Name: doqq05  Service: http://edacwms.unm.edu
Layer Name: Soil Mapunit Polygon  Service: http://SDMDataAccess.nrce.usda.gov

Question 3

Add three WFS layers to the same QGIS project, two based upon data available from the
RGIS data browser (http://rgis.unm.edu/browsedata), and one based on the USGS
Gazatteer Framework WFS service (http://frameworkwfs.usgs.gov/framework/wfs/wfs.cgi?
datastore=GNIS [note the additional required “datastore=GNIS” parameter that is part of the
base URL for the WFS service]).

In your write-up include the names of the layers you added, and the GetCapabilities
requests related to those layers. Also include screen shots showing each layer in
your QGIS project.
