GIS User Requirements

Three views of GIS 1. Smart, interactive, functional Map 2. A set of tools and procedures A language to perform tasks 1. Smart, interactive, functional Map DBMS 3. A well-managed system of information Data Files

Advanced Geometry Points, Lines, Polygons, and Surfaces Single and Multi-part Features Flexible coordinates XY XYZ XYZM True curves Continuous coverage (not tiled)

Topology in GIS Topology for Shared geometry One set of lines, many sets of features Networks Relationships Important to represent “systems” of features Land records, Census, Networks …

GIS Data Models Also Need Tables of Attributes Rasters (Grids and geo-referenced images) Tins

Spatial Data Support

What is a Geodatabase? A container In a DBMS For GIS data Like coverages, shapefiles, rasters, tables and so on Continuous Behavior In a DBMS

What does the Geodatabase mean? Simpler Application Complex Application ArcGIS ArcView 3 ArcInfo 7 Intelligent Database Simple data Rules Intelligent Data Means Less Application Development Relationships

Geodatabases Are Scalable For All Users Workgroup (Open DBMS) ArcSDE Gateway Personal Geodatabases Enterprise (Open DBMS) ArcSDE Gateway From Projects to Enterprise

Why ArcSDE? To edit a multi-user geodatabase Open DBMS Oracle (Oracle Spatial is optional) SQL Server IBM DB2 Informix Open your GIS database to all users Manage Versions and History
