AbstractMigrating from Relational GIS to GIS Objects: A Utility Perspective Track: Database Design, Automation, and Management Author(s): Jim Kyles Attention must be given to the creation of an object. The migration of data from a relational data and application schema to an object-oriented implementation requires entities to reevaluate what has been required of the data and what behaviors can be identified to be incorporated into the GIS data objects. With the growth of object technology, the expansion of data sharing among organizations, and the influx of new users, data models must be reconstructed. For many utilities the data requirements have changed. Jim Kyles GeoIT 1620 S. Ashland Avenue Suite 106 Green Bay , WI 54304 USA Phone: 920 432-1820 Fax: 920 432-1817 E-mail: jkyles@geoit.com |
