Building a Geodatabase Design using Spatial Data Standards
In order to design a Geodatabase from the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) for Transportation Data Model, the US Army Crops of Engineers in Champaign Illinois will implement a virtual military installation base on previous data models. With this virtual installation; called 'Facility Modeling', the effort to capture criteria and requirements when planning and designing data at the life cycle of the facility is now accessible. Also, with the support of ESRI Transportation Industry that has provided user organizations (USACERL) with excellent foundation points; which consist of user forums, case studies and design templates for the building process of ArcGIS" database design. The goal is to develop an essential data model for user organization with in the Transportation Industry; mainly for railroad management organization as well as Railroads, Waterway, Transit and other Authorities. To achieve this goal, I will organize the Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure and Environment (SDSFIE") throughout the ArcGIS" software, develop a Unified Modeling Language (UML) for data type structure and implement a personal Geodatabase Design by creating a custom schema in ArcGIS" through software tool such as ArcCatalog, ArcMap and ArcTool that are used when storing data in tables and geographical images such as layers. The ideal purpose for this project is to create a system-of-systems throughout the Geodatabase Design to implement numerous data models from various categories for transportation industry that will extract information more efficiently and reduce cost. At the installation site, user organization will be able to produce the following: set up planning scenarios, conduct dynamic analysis (up to 30 years) and compare scenario results with virtual installations. Building composer will be use to shorten time for facilities while objective Force and FCS criteria requirement are met.
