Abstract
 Field Collection to Natural Resource Enterprise Database Track: Federal Systems Implementation Author(s): Cindy Lou McDonald Since 2001, the Bureau of Land Management has been implementing an enterprise architecture designed by Esri. This is a tale of Idaho's attempts to implement the architecture with internal ArcIMS and Citrix serving ArcGIS applications while accessing both flat files and an SDE geodatabase in IBM Informix. The emerging strategy requires development of multiple applications, natural resource database standards, and enterprise feature classes. Tests over the past two years have been conducted by state and field office GIS staff. Because staff maintains normal workloads, command line coverage editing techniques are often used while still learning and testing new methods. A current challenge includes channeling hundreds of daily field collections into the enterprise database. The goal is to ensure a statewide, enterprise, standard resource database to sustain the health, diversity and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
