GIS Project in ARCGIS

GeoDatabase Design and Implementation

About ARCGIS:

ARCGIS consists of 3 GIS software products:

• ArcView
• ArcEditor
• ArcInfo

The functionality of the products increases successively in the above order. ArcView has
comprehensive mapping and analysis tools along with simple editing and geoprocessing
tools. ArcEditor includes all functions of ArcView and additional editing tools. ArcInfo
extends the functionality of both ArcView and ArcEditor to provide advanced editing
and geoprpcessing tools and includes all the capabilities of the earlier ArcInfo
Workstation. The capabilities of each can be enhanced by extensions like Spatial Analyst,
3-D Analyst, ArcPress, etc.

ArcGIS supports geographic data models for both file based systems (coverages,
shapefiles and attribute tables for vector data; grids, images and triangulated irregular
networks (TIN) for raster data) and for Database Management Systems in the form of
Geodatabases. The Geodatabase model (short form for “geographic database”) supports
topologically integrated feature classes, file-based coverages and shapefile models and
manages these and other datasets using standard relational database technology. This
provides many of the data management benefits offered by DBMS.

All the products are integrated in the ARCGIS Desktop which includes a suite of 3
integrated applications: ArcMAP, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox. Any GIS task can be
performed using these 3 applications together.

ArcMAP is the central application in the ArcGIS Desktop. It is used for all map-based
tasks including cartography, map analysis and editing. ArcMap provides two views to
work with GIS tasks - geographical data view and layout view – in which a broad range
of GIS tasks can be performed.

ArcCatalog helps to organize and manage the GIS data. It includes tools for browsing
and finding geographic information, recording and viewing metadata, quickly viewing
any dataset, and defining the schema structure for the geographic data layers. In
ArcCatalog tree data can be explored in three different formats: Content tab, Preview tab
and Matadata tab. The Contents tab lists the items in a folder or catalogue tree. The

Preview allows viewing the selected item data in either geography or table view. The
metadata tab shows descriptive information about the selected item in the catalog tree.
Metadata includes properties and documentation. Properties are derived from the data
source, while documentation is information provided by the user.

Arctool box contains many GIS tools used for managing and processing geographic
datasets and also helps to create and manage file-based datasets. There are two versions
of the ArcTolbox: the complete box for working with ArcInfo and limited tool box for
use with ArcView and ArcEditor.

A map document is located in ArcCatalog, opened in ArcMap and edited using tools in
ArcToolbox. Data can be searched in ArcCatalog and dragged and dropped as layer in
ArcMap or into the ArcToolbox.

 B. Importing feature classes (Shapefiles, etc., Created earlier)
C. Creating the new map - Georeferencing the Scanned Image
D. Creating the new map – vector digitization of the image
E. Projecting the feature data sets to selected projection type and datum
F. Adding attribute data
G. Creating thematic maps
H. Connecting to external databases and creating thematic maps
I. Overlay and editing
J. Map layout and printing

A) Database Design – Creation of database Schema in ArcCatalog

This is done in ARC catalog

The starting point is to create a single project folder (say Approject) and subfolders
within it to hold the input and output data sets. Related to the project the input datasets
may be geodatabases, coverages, shapefiles, database tables, etc. The output data sets can
be thematic maps, etc. The input data can be from several sources and for different
feature classes. The feature classes can be organized into a feature data set. In this
project only geodatabases will be created. The AP boundary and AP Districts maps are
available as shape files from the digitized maps created in GeoMedia project. The
agroecological sub region map is available as scanned image and this needs to be
digitized in vector format and added to the geodatabases.

Thus, for this project the design of the Schema in Arc Catalog will involve:

(i) Creating a folder for the project and subfolder for input and outputs

• Digitization of Agro_SubRegion
In this project already two maps are available in digitized form as shapefiles(
boundary.shp and District.shp). Since the agro_subregion map which is to be
digitized has the same boundary, the boundary of one of these can be used to avoid
re-digitizing the boundary. The bpimdary of District.shp ill be used for this purpose.
To maintain the common boundary between the three maps the boundary of
Districts.shp will be traced by selecting each District and digitize only the lines
which delineates the sub_regiong on the Georeferenced scanned image.
