Da jeg første gang så Popfly fra Microsoft var jeg begejstret (http://gisdk.blogspot.com/2008/07/popfly-create-mashups-in-no-time.html), men jeg sad også og tænkte at ArcGIS ModelBuilder et eller andet sted herigennem kunne/burde gøres web baseret. Definer hvert tool som en PopFly block og man kunne definere de heftigste geoprocesserings opgaver via en web browser ... og publishere dem. Manageren i 10.0 må meget gerne indeholde et popfly interface til geoprocesserings tools. I artiklen nedenfor diskuteres det hvorfor det ikke burde være så vanskeligt at lave en web baseret model builder.

When I first saw Popfly from Microsoft I was thrilled (http://gisdk.blogspot.com/2008/07/popfly-create-mashups-in-no-time.html), but I was at the same time thinking that ArcGIS model builder somehow should/had to be web based in a way just like Popfly. You could define tools like Popfly blocks and create the coolest geoprocessing tasks in your browser ... and publish them as well. I wish that the manager in 10.0 were equipped with a web based model builder interface, please!

From ArcGIS 9.3 Desktop Help - imagine it in a web browser.
Yet another refrain of : Web2.0 means anyone can be a publisher.
Right now Modelbuilder is part of ArcGIS Desktop. Modelers create and test models, then publish them by creating a new geoprocssing service on ArcGIS Server.
Why not provide a thin client version of model builder, allowing people from outside the firewall a way to create and edit models?
That way, a cool geoprocessing task like this could be developed by a 3rd party.
