AbstractBelow Sea Level City Rotterdam Rises unto an Enterprise ArchitectureTrack: State and Local Government Author The City of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, has envisioned the strength of spatial data since it commissioned the first map produced by public works in 1884. The road to a (digital) enterprise environment has started in 1982, with the first digital map of the city. Since then the challenge has been putting the enterprise city database to maximum use. A key aspect of this development is the integration of several datasets. The public works department has created a number of unique products, including a high resolution 3D-DEM, historic texture maps and detailed subsurface maps in dense urban areas. As a local government, the city plays a prime role in the national key registrations program. In this program, geographic data will be maintained at a local level, but shared nationally. The high quality of the data of Rotterdam has been achieved by using ArcGIS, which ensured data integrated, in the enterprise framework. Louis Smit City of Rotterdam P.O.
