Abstract
 ArcSDE Enterprise Geodatabase Design and Development in Loudoun County, Virginia Track: System Implementation for GIS Author(s): David Torraca, Marsil Zook, Rupali Kale For the past several years, Loudoun County, Virginia has been ranked among the fastest growing counties in the nation. Loudoun's GIS, a mature, enterprise system, having its beginnings in 1986, is also growing as the SDE Enterprise Geodatabase model is being developed to standardize GIS operations throughout the organization. The County's mainframe database, DB2, is the relational database used with ArcSDE, which presents its own unique challenges. This paper explores the challenge of implementing ArcSDE in conjunction with supporting existing procedures and developing new business practices. Loudoun's existing system architecture and database construct will be detailed, with the focus on database design, data integration and publication, and database maintenance procedures. In addition, this paper also specifies some out-of-the box tools used to manage the database and some in-house tools developed for monitoring and reporting SDE database activity for data maintainers and users.
