The geodatabase is well suited for working with networked GIS data because it allows for the creation and maintenance of geometric networks. Gannett Fleming has created a toolbox that accesses and extends the utility of these geometric networks, providing functionality for building, updating, querying, and modeling these networked feature classes. This paper will look at how a geometric network operates in ArcInfo 8 and how Gannett Fleming is successfully applying this exciting data model in a variety of networked GIS environments.
