System Design Protocols for Integration of Environmental Models with Esri Software Author: Kelly Dilks PO Box 9005 Phone: 217-352-6511 The U.S. military manages millions of acres of land. A vast array of environmental models are required to effectively manage these lands. One of the most important components of each model is the spatial relationships to other parameters in the model and the interaction between models. This paper discusses the various levels of integration of these models with GIS, varying from basic MapObjects to SDE and ArcInfo utilization to support military land management. |
