The Information Management GIS group is partially charged with creating or obtaining, developing, maintaining, and archiving spatial databases for MNFI applications. Implementing the Spatial Database Design (Peltz, et al., 1997) presented in previous presentations required some minor modifications when the model was implemented in another organization. This modification supports and enhances the original model presented. Support for the implementation of BioTICs required design and implementation of databases, with spatial attributes, that reflected the needs of the Biological Characteristics Database (BCD). BioTICs is an ArcView GIS interface for entering locational data and obtaining spatially related information regarding endangered, threatened, or special concern species and communities. Currently BioTICs is an interface for updating the BCD running under Advanced Revelations. The BioTICs interface will be utilized to migrate BCD to the Heritage Database Management System (HDMS), which is currently being developed.
