2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 Fashioning the GIS Data Management Solution Track: GIS Organization and Management Author(s): E. Santi, Tara Morgan The Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) is a division of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, a state agency dedicated to managing Florida's fish and wildlife resources. The FWRI GIS data-management team has maintained the Marine Resources GIS (MRGIS) data collection for more than ten years. This collection of data has grown significantly over the years and now spans two ArcSDE Oracle geodatabases, numerous CD and archive data holdings, and a terabyte of imagery. The MRGIS data and metadata, like two sides of a zipper, must be kept together to keep the whole functional. This presentation will discuss how FWRI's GIS data managers keep the zipper intact and keep the data from "being caught with their pants down." Topics will include presentation of data to users, metadata documentation, database maintenance, and data archiving. E.
