This document describes mapping and charting solutions for efficiently producing standardized geospatial data and maps. It discusses workflows for capturing, managing, validating, and disseminating geospatial data and maps. Key components of the solutions include rules-based geodatabases, product libraries for managing map specifications and documents, validation tools like ArcGIS Data Reviewer, and workflow management tools like ArcGIS Workflow Manager. The solutions are designed to streamline production processes and improve data quality for organizations that produce high volumes of maps and geospatial datasets.
ICT role in 21st century education and it's challenges.

3. Mapping and charting solutions
Streamlining high volume data and map production
…Centrally managed for production teams
4. Mapping and charting users:
• Produce high volume, high quality databases and maps
• Require standardized enterprise production
– Map specifications
– Data validation
– Optimized and controlled workflows
– Repeatability
• Must improve / maintain the quality of their GIS data
• Under pressure to reduce production cost and schedule
5. Database driven enterprise cartography
• Database driven cartography
– “Extend” GIS with cartographic features and information
– Link feature attributes (data dictionary) to symbols
– Store cartographic rules and templates inside GDB
• Enterprise cartography
– Multiple users and maps - not just SDE Database
– Map production requiring extensive planning and work
• Scalable production methods
– Similar to the GDB
– ArcMap
– MPS-Atlas (PLTS)
– Product Library (PLTS)
7. Product mapping from 9.3.1 to 10

11. What is Workflow Manager
• GIS workflow management tool
• Used by:
– GIS Analysts
– Managers
– Executives
– Etc.
• Manage individual units of work
– Create… Assign… Execute… Track…
Complete GIS management functions in one tool

15. ArcGIS Data Reviewer
Data quality management for ArcGIS
Enterprise
Workflow
Quality data are the heart and soul of a GIS
16. Overview of Data Reviewer
• ArcGIS Desktop extension
• System to process and assess spatial data quality
• Tools for performing data QC
– Automated checks
– Visual QC
• Error documentation
17. Automated Data Check Categories
• Spatial Parameter
Evaluation
• Default
• Feature on Feature
– E.g. Geometry on
Geometry
• Duplicate Geometry
• Topology
• Database Validation
• Z Value Checks
• Polygon Checks
• Polyline Checks
• Table Checks
• Advanced Checks
40 different checks
18. Running Data Checks
• Individually
– Can be run outside ReViewer
session
• Batch Jobs
– Configure in Batch Job
Manager
–Designed once and executed
many times
– Run through
• Batch Validate
• ReViewer Service
• ReViewer Exe
22. New Reviewer Data Checks
• Topology Rules Check
– Replacing Import Topology
Errors tool
• Can be configured in a Batch
Job
23. New Reviewer Data Checks
• Valency Check
– Transportation and Utility
focus
• Compares point and line
connections
– Tee can connect to 3 pipes
24. New Reviewer Tools
