Preparing Data for Community Maps Output geodatabase Data sources Data Prep Tools
Why Data Prep Tools? • You know your data the best! • Reduce data interpretation errors & review cycles • To make it faster and easier • No need to change source data schema • The tools and process are customizable Like doing your taxes… but much more fun
Data Prep Tools - Prerequisites • ArcGIS for Desktop version 10.1 or higher • Data formats – Shapefile, file/personal geodatabase, ArcSDE geodatabase, CAD or Coverage • Basic ArcMap & geoprocessing tools experience (basic SQL) • Understanding of source data
General Workflow for Data Prep Tools • Download • Make list of layers to contribute • Run Me First Tool • Open theme MXD • Add your data to MXD • Run tool & QA (*AllLayers.mxd) • Repeat 4,5,6 for each theme • Zip Final GDB and upload to CM app
Obtaining the Tools • ArcGIS Online Geoprocessing Sample Download • Download from Contribution App – (http://communitymaps.arcgis.com)
What’s in the Download? • Folders • Doc – READ ME document and CMDataPrepToolsGettingStarted video • LayerFiles– Layer files in World Topo Design • MXDs – Map Documents for each data theme • Scratch – Template, scratch and final geodatabases • Scripts– Python script used with the RoadCenterline tools • ToolData – Sample data • ArcGIS Toolboxes (tbx) – Run Me First & CM DataPrepTools v2
General Workflow for Data Prep Tools • Download • Make list of layers to contribute • Run Me First Tool • Open theme MXD • Add your data to MXD • Run tool & QA (*AllLayers.mxd) • Repeat 4,5,6 for each theme • Zip Final GDB and upload to CM app
Admin • Administrative 1 Polygons (State- Non-US contributors) (polygon) • Administrative 2 Polygons (County- Non-US contributors) (polygon) • Administrative 3 Polygons (Municipal) (polygon) • Neighborhood Points (point) • Neighborhood Polygons (polygon) • Land Use (polygons) • Airports • Beaches • Cemeteries • Commercial Retail • Education • Emergency Response Law Enforcement • Golf Course • Government • Health / Medical • Industrial • Local Parks • Military • National Forests • National Parks • Open Spaces • Public Attractions • State Forests • State Parks • Transportation • Tribal Lands • Zoos Basemap Data Layers • Large Scale Detailed Areas • Athletic Track (polygon) • Docks / Pier Lines (polyline) • Docks / Pier Polygons (polygon) • Fences / Gates / Walls (polyline) • Hard Court (polygon) • Landscape Areas (polygon) • Parking Lot Lines (polyline) • Paths (polygon) • Pavement Marking Symbols (point) • Sports Field Lines (polyline) • Sports Field Polygons (polygon) • Street Pavement (polygon) • Tennis Courts (polygon) • Trees / Bushes (point) • Reference • Building Footprint (polygon) • Extent (polygon) • Ferries (polyline) • Parcel (polygon) • Points of Interest (point) • Railroad (polyline) • Road Centerline (polyline) • Trails (polyline) • Water Body (polygon) • Water Line (polyline)
General Workflow for Data Prep Tools • Download • Make list of layers to contribute • Run Me First Tool • Open theme MXD • Add your data to MXD • Run tool & QA (*AllLayers.mxd) • Repeat 4,5,6 for each theme • Zip Final GDB and upload to CM app
Run Me First Tool • Must be run before any other tools • Creates empty template geodatabase with your spatial reference • Adds your organization name for QA purposes • Defines organization name and ISO codes for country and local language
General Workflow for Data Prep Tools • Download • Make list of layers to contribute • Run Me First Tool • Open theme MXD • Add your data to MXD • Run tool & QA (*AllLayers.mxd) • Repeat 4,5,6 for each theme • Zip Final GDB and upload to CM app
Anatomy of Data Prep Tools 2 Most tools require a selection statement (SQL) All tools require source data 1 3 Most tools require a field to label the features in your local language 4 Most tools require a label field for the English translation of your labels
Reviewing data prep with AllLayers.mxd • Map contains layers for all possible Data Prep Tools output • Symbology similar to World Topo Map • Compare migrated layers to each other • Get an idea how your published layers will look in the World Topo Map
