Abstract
 Building Intermap's Data Management System Interface Using ArcGIS Publisher and ArcReader Track: Database Design, Automation, and Management Author(s): Richard Asselin Intermap is in the business of creating digital descriptions of the Earth's surface. Our unique data acquisition technology enables us to quickly and affordably acquire large and continuous datasets. Through our NEXTMap program, we're acquiring complete and accurate map databases of entire countries - something never before undertaken on a commercial basis. Managing such a large undertaking demands a thorough understanding of what's happening in production, and where the work is heading. A tool called the "Data Management System - Explorer" (DMSe) was developed to aid production staff and management to tackle this daunting task. This paper focuses on the design, development, and implementation of the DMSe. Details are given regarding the programming of the ArcReader / Microsoft SQL Server production database interface, as well as the various DMSe database views and stored procedures. Time-saving tips are also discussed, allowing for speedier changes to the DMSe with minimal or no downtime.
