ArcGIS Knowledge Links from UC 2024

Miami-Dade County Emergency Management Operations
From User Conference Plenary (7m 32 sec)
In the final segment of Miami-Dade County demo, they show how they can leverage ArcGIS Knowledge and Microsoft Teams to staff emergency shelters with the best available people rapidly at a critical time before a storm. Using graph queries accessible directly in a web map, they present an innovative way to rapidly match Employees to Shelters based on unique skills to emergency shelter needs. With knowledge graphs powering advanced pattern-matching, ArcGIS becomes a critical operational and intelligence system.
This example link chart above illustrates how an employee (Emp 315712) matches with an open Assistant Shelter Manager role at the Miami Northwestern Senior shelter with the right skills and training - and no pet allergy - needed for that role. AND this person met the criteria of being previously assigned to a nearby shelter that was not activated for this emergency (Miami Edison Senior in grey) . This image was captured in the ArcGIS Knowledge Studio web application.
This snapshot in ArcGIS Pro desktop application shows how spatial relationships, including the proximity between employees (using fake locations) and Emergency shelters are captured in our graph, as well as the proximity to high concentrations of Creole-speaking populations.
Watch CIO Jose Lopez and Jose R. Rodriquez show this part of the Mayor’s “No Wrong Door” initiative to unite government services for a diverse community and culture.
Arson Investigation
From the Esri Safety and Security Summit (3 min 50 sec)
ArcGIS enables analysts to investigate crimes and conduct link analysis and spatial analysis across a variety of intelligence sources within one analytic system. This example by Ollie Brown follows an intelligence analyst’s investigation into potential arson surrounding several large wildfires across Australia where authorities received tips about a person that may have been involved, and collected phone device record data (using fake locations).
Using ArcGIS AllSource desktop application with the ArcGIS Knowledge enterprise knowledge graph, the analyst:
- Conducts spatial movement analyses on phone call GPS pings
- Leverages spatial relationships in link analyses connecting multiple persons of interest
- Creates a static report of findings to hand off to other stakeholders
Ukraine Common Intelligence Picture
From Esri Defense and Intelligence Forum (3min 30sec)
The war in Ukraine requires maintaining operational awareness at all times is critical. In this demo, Jessica Johnson uses ArcGIS Knowledge to fuse order of battle information with open source intelligence in the spatially intelligent ArcGIS, giving allies the Common Intelligence Picture they need. Integrating tracked battle units and equipment with news reports of attacks provides analysts with full context quickly and uses graph analytics to identify the most important units of interest to focus on.
Technical Sessions
These User Conference recordings are also now available in the Esri Media website. Check out some of the highlights mentioned below.
- ArcGIS Knowledge: An Overview (53min)
- @ 16 min: Protecting your Supply Chain demos
- Object-Based Analysis in ArcGIS Using Activity-Based Intelligence (47min)
- @ 15 min: SOM workflows saving imagery observations as objects to be linked to other intelligence in your knowledge graph
- @ 34 min: Analysts can use spatial movement analyses of ships (and other vehicles/devices) and graph analyses to identify new ships of interest related to global watchlists for illegal fishing. Using key rendezvous events and location spoofing events, ArcGIS Knowledge can help identify ship social networks and new illicit actors. Julia also shows how to link documents to ship entities.
- Exploring Spatial Relationships for Intelligence Operations (45 min)
