2. ArcSDE & Geodatabases The geodatabase is the data storage and data management framework for ArcGIS. The geodatabase contains three primary dataset types: Feature classes Raster datasets Tables Geodatabases model behavior and advanced capabilities such as: Multiuser editing through versioning Networks to model and analyze flows Data Validation using domains and subtypes Distributed geodatabase replication Management of historical archives of data as it is updated through time http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisserver/9.3/do tNet/index.htm#geodatabases/using_mu769 895119.htm

3. ArcGIS Server Data Services LYR Files In ArcGIS, a “layer” is a reference to a data source that defines how the data should be symbolized on a map. Layers can also define additional properties, such as which features from the data source are included. Layers can be stored in map documents (.mxd) or saved individually as layer files (.lyr).

4. ArcGIS Server Data Services Map Caching (Tile Caching) When you create a map cache, the server draws the entire map at several different scales, and stores copies of the map images. The server can then distribute these images whenever someone asks for a map. TileCache Schema ArcGIS Server Google Maps/ MS Virtual Earth
