Abstract

Leveraging SDE 9.2 Geodatabase Replication for Integrating As-Built Data
Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Author(s): Jason Schwartz

At release 9.2 of SDE, there are significant enhancements in the tools for generating replicas within and between geodatabases. This presentation shows how these enhancements have directly benefited the water-facility as-built processes within the Southern Nevada Water Authority. From initial transfer of information from CAD designs into GIS, through the stages of field data collection during and post-construction, to final as-built facilities storage, a consistent data delivery approach has been applied to ensure consistent, reliable, secure and cost-effective GIS data maintenance. This unifying process relies on a 'best-of-breeds' approach wherein differing tools are utilized for their strengths in a heterogeneous computing environment. The process relies heavily on the creation and management of geodatabase replicas for the delivery data to and from spatial data management steps. The results are shorter data editing cycles and more accurate edits as compared to versioned edits within Desktop GIS.
