ESRI's ArcGIS Desktop products—ArcView, ArcEditor, and
ArcInfo—enable users to create and manage a geodatabase, the world's most
advanced spatial object-oriented data model. ArcView enables users to create and
manage simple features (points, lines, and polygons) in a personal geodatabase.
ArcEditor and ArcInfo support full read-and-write access to any geodatabase. The
key advantage of this data model is that it allows you to easily build
intelligent models of spatial systems. You can assign behaviors to individual
features, define relationships between classes of features, create business
rules, and apply high-level topological models without any programming. You are
also free to extend the geodatabase model and object behaviors without limits by
using any Component Object Model (COM)-compliant programming language.
Building a Geodatabase introduces you to geodatabase concepts and shows you
how to implement geographic database designs. Whether you are importing existing
data or building a new geodatabase from scratch, this book makes it easy to find
a task and work through the steps to get it done.
You'll learn how to
Migrate existing geographic data into a geodatabase
Create new feature classes, feature data sets, and tables
Add behavior to your features by creating subtypes and validation rules
Create relationships between objects in your geodatabase by creating
relationship classes and geometric networks
Design your geodatabase using Unified Modeling Language, and create your
geodatabase schema using Computer-Aided Software Engineering tools
Create new features and edit existing features with behaviors
Create and edit dimension features to annotate your maps and drawings
Work with a versioned geodatabase
Begin by following the quick-start tutorial to get an overview of how to
create and edit a geodatabase, and then actually create your first geodatabase.
If you prefer, jump right in and experiment with geodatabases on your own. When
you have questions, you'll find concise, step-by-step answers inside, fully
illustrated to help you complete a task.
