A Georelational to a Geodatabase Model • coverage and shapefile data structures • homogenous collections of points, lines, and polygons with generic, 1- and 2-dimensional "behavior" • can’t distinguish behaviors • Point for a marker buoy, same as point for OBS • “smart features” in a geodatabase • lighthouse must be on land, marine mammal siting must be in ocean
Purpose of Marine Data Model • basic template for implementing GIS projects • input, formatting, geoprocessing, creating maps, performing analyses • basic framework for writing program code and maintaining applications • development of tools for the community • promote networking and data sharing through established standards

Steps in Data Modeling (1) Model the user's view of data • what are the basic features needed to solve the problem? (2) Select the geographic representation • points, lines, areas, rasters, TINs Bathymetry Sidescan sonar/Backscatter Shoreline Marine boundaries (e.g., MPAs) Geophysicaltime series Sub-bottom profiling Magnetics Gravity Seismics Sediment transport etc. ... Marine mammal movement Atmospheric influences Sea state Wave activity Sea surface temperature Salinity Sensorcalibration data Current meters Density etc. ... Image by Joe Breman, ESRI
Users’s View of Data Steve Grisé, ESRI
Steps in Data Modeling (cont.) (3) Define objects and relationships • draw a UML diagram (4) Match to geodatabase elements • specify relationships, “behaviors” (5) Organize geodatabase structure

Implications (1) • Inputting & Formatting Data • Provides common data structures • Allows control of required data fields from collection through analysis phases
Implications (2) • Geoprocessing & Analysis • Allows explicit spatial & temporal relationships to be used in geoprocessing and analysis

Project is Ongoing • Case studies , tool development • Interested participants via web site ~275 people, 31 countries • Refine UML - abstract and feature classes, descriptions, rules/behaviors • 2004 ESRI UC sessions • 2005 ESRI Press book • Agency “buy-in” • Publicizing and publishing • Tie-in w/ other model efforts
