GeoBase Communications Data Conversion: Moving Legacy ArcInfo Coverages to a Geodatabase Track: Defense and Intelligence Author(s): Richard Naus The 45th Space Wing has converted Cape Canaveral Air Force Station data from legacy Geographic Information System (GIS) data stored in Arc/INFO 7.0 Coverages to a multi-user Geodatabase built on SDE and stored in Oracle 9i. This presentation shall discuss the steps used to migrate the data to the Geodatabase using Arc Catalog and SDE, and the lessons learned during the process, covering some of the highlights and the pitfalls encountered. We shall also discuss some of the benefits that the Air Force has received from the conversion of the legacy data to a multi-user Geodatabase built on SDE, such as: higher data security, multi-user editing, and better query and analysis capabilities.
