Whats Covered

• A general overview of the ESRI geodatabase
• An overview of the data that we will be modeling
• A demonstration using the ArcMarine Data Model to
  build a geodatabase
• An exercise in building a geodatabase

3
By the end of the Tutorial you will be able to

• List the basic elements of a geodatabase
• Import an existing schema into a new database
• Compare your data structure with that of an
  existing data model
• Condition your data and schema to match
• Load data
• Create new relationships between data
• Import additional schema and data from various
  sources
• Create and load a Raster Catalog
• Display your data using Dynamic Segmentation
• Query data through relationships

Geodatabase Elements

• Feature Datasets
• Enforces common spatial reference
• Feature classes Polygon, Line, Point,
  Annotation, Route, Dimension, Route
• Relationship Classes
• Geometric Networks
• Topology
• Tables
• Raster datasets
• Raster Catalogs
• Survey Datasets
• Toolboxes
• Behavior control
• Attribute defaults, Attribute domains,
  Relationship rules, Topology rules

Sample Data

• Our goal is to model the transect path of the ROV
  and the (video) observations that were made.
• The ROV path and the observations on that path
  can be located in the X, Y and Z axes at discrete
  time intervals during a dive.
