Please use the standard file name for your homework. • FirstName_LastName_LabNO.doc • Please export maps as PNG, JPG, TIF or other picture format.
Purposes • Geodatabase and its capabilities • Designing a geodatabase
Components in Geodatabase • Feature class • A group of features (points, lines, and polygons) • Feature dataset • Related feature classes in the same coordinate system • Tables • No spatial information
Components in Geodatabase • Rasters • Images, DEM • Raster dataset • One or more adjacent images in the same format • Raster catalog • A collection of images which can have different formats
Components in Geodatabase • Relationship classes • The connection between features (parcels and landowners) • Topology • Constraints on spatial relationships • Geometric Network • Define the interconnections in network feature classes
Notes • UML • Free open source software (e.g., StarUML) • MS Visio (free trial for 60 days) • MS Word
Notes • UML • Draw the UML diagram based on your database
Assignment • Complete exercise I. • This is the first part of a two-week lab, so you don’t need to turn in your homework next week.
