Abstract
Delivering Esri Data to the Enterprise in a CAD World
Track: Pipeline Transmission
Author(s): Peter C.G. Veenstra, Greg McCool
ArcSDE is an extension to industry-standard relational database management systems (DBMS) for large-scale storage of geographic data and spatial analysis. ArcSDE provides a framework for storage and dissemination of disparate sources of geographic data across the enterprise. Typical ArcSDE installations focus heavily on distributing data to the enterprise rather than making data available for editing and maintenance by the enterprise. The PipeView software tool is designed for maintenance and management of gas and oil pipeline transmission data stored as CAD data within ArcSDE. Users are allowed to create, retrieve, update, and delete pipeline geographic features through PipeView using data served by SDE. Other users are able to view the data stored in SDE in read-only mode using typical Esri clients such as ArcIMS, ArcView, MapObjects, and ArcInfo 8. The focus of this presentation will be on the implementation strategy for allowing the enterprise to manage CAD data, project geographic features on the fly, reconcile database editing, and perform spatial analysis using SDE through the use of various Esri client tools--most notably, SDE CAD Client.
