Inventorying and Migrating Comprehensive Navy Environmental GIS Data
Track: Defense
Authors: Brian Ward, Steven Lathrop, Leigh Ann Wolfe

The US Navy Southwest Region’s GeoReadiness Center was faced with a daunting task: inventory comprehensive environmental data for all installations in the region, and migrate all relevant, authoritative data into the Navy’s enterprise data model. Twenty thousand source data files were inventoried, and feature class, attribute, and domain mappings were developed to drive the migration effort. Lessons learned from the inventory and migration of large amounts of unstructured data will be presented.
