Track: Database Design, Automation, and Management
Author(s): Michael Bieberitz, Sara Hackbarth, Michael Benedict, Sarah Seifert

In an effort to improve business and mapping efficiency, the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD), a state-chartered, government agency providing wastewater services for 28 municipalities, developed an Enterprise Geodatabase as part of a requirements gathering and planning phase for the MMSD's Enterprise GIS solution. As an essential component of the planning phase, MMSD identified a need to assemble all its geographic data assets into a single Enterprise Geodatabase Model.

This presentation will describe and illustrate the development process used to assemble a diverse collection of datasets for the Enterprise Geodatabase Model. The process included defining user needs, designing the conceptual, logical, and physical database structure, and the development of a final model using Unified Modeling language (UML) design.
