2 Designing GIS Databases to Support Mapping and Map Production Charlie Frye, ESRI Redlands Aileen Buckley, ESRI Redlands 2

3 Key Concepts GIS base maps that support high-quality cartography Map-driven Spatially integrated Understanding maps Themes Graphic marks The multi-purpose GIS base map and cartography Basic structure and schema Table design (supporting symbology & labeling) Geoprocessing (supporting symbology & labeling) Multi-scale Incorporating scale in the base map database Multi-scale map 3

4 Map-Driven 1: 5,000 General reference map 1: 25,000 Topographic map 1: 2,500 Emergency services access map 1:1,250 Emergency services imagery map 4

5 Organize Base Map Content Using Themes Each map portrays or contains major themes of information Imagery Hypsography Hydrography Cultural Administrative Transport The base map data base, therefore, will have data organized into major themes Topological relationships are typically between feature classes within themes in the base map 5

6 Organize Base Map Content Using Themes Common themes: Transportation Terrain or hypsography Surface water or hydrography Cultural Imagery Boundaries Reference system Roads Edge of pavement polygons Center lines Cul de sac points Dissolved road Centerlines Railroads Individual tracks Rail lines Ferry routes 6

7 Organize Base Map Content Using Themes Common themes: Transportation Terrain or hypsography Surface water or hydrography Cultural Imagery Boundaries Reference system Digital elevation model (DEM) Cartographic hillshade Contour lines Spot elevation points 7

8 Organize Base Map Content Using Themes Common themes: Transportation Terrain or hypsography Surface water or hydrography Cultural Imagery Boundaries Reference system Hydro areas All types of surface water Hydro lines Includes steam channels Shorelines Hydro points Wells Springs Gaging stations etc. 8

9 Organize Base Map Content Using Themes Common themes: Transportation Terrain or hypsography Surface water or hydrography Cultural Imagery Boundaries Reference system Buildings Building complexes Landmarks Structures etc. 9

10 Organize Base Map Content Using Themes Common themes: Transportation Terrain or hypsography Surface water or hydrography Cultural Imagery Boundaries Reference system Orthophoto base Aerial photos Satellite imagery etc. 10

11 Organize Base Map Content Using Themes Common themes: Transportation Terrain or hypsography Surface water or hydrography Cultural Imagery Boundaries Reference system Municipal Areas & lines County Areas & lines State Areas & lines Park Areas & lines PLSS & control Areas & lines Points/corners Subdivisions Areas & lines Parcels Parcel data model 11

12 Organize Base Map Content Using Themes Common themes: Transportation Terrain or hypsography Surface water or hydrography Cultural Imagery Boundaries Reference system Map series sheet centers or extents Historic map series USGS Quad Sheets Townships Grids UTM MGRS Graticule etc. 12

13 Hallmarks of a Multi Purpose GIS Base Map that Supports Mapping 1. Rich appropriate content for all designed standard products 2. All data are spatially integrated 3. Data are modeled to suit purpose 4. Consistent semantics and attribution 5. Central repository for managing frequently shared or sensitive information 13

14 Spatially Integrated Data Example 14

15 Hallmarks of a Multi Purpose GIS Base Map that Supports Mapping 1. Rich appropriate content for all designed standard products 2. All data are spatially integrated 3. Data are modeled to suit purpose 4. Consistent semantics and attribution 5. Central repository for managing frequently shared or sensitive information 15

16 Consistent use of semantics Organize data using consistent and easy to understand conventions Use geodatabase domains to enforce consistent use appearance of information Expose information based on the expectations of your clients 16

17 Using Consistent Semantics CS_ID is my symbol field Domains on the Feat_Type and CS_ID fields enforce semantics 17

Data are modeled to suit purpose 4. Consistent semantics and attribution 5. Central repository for managing frequently shared or sensitive information 18

19 Data Flow during Map Production Workflow Data is Extracted, Transferred, and Loaded (ETL) from core database into map product databases During production, errors and edits are propagated back to the core database Core Product X Product Y Product Z 19

20 Base Map Design in Support of Mapping If it is not in the database, it won t t be on the map Data are based on and designed with full understanding of your standard map products Without a map specification it won t t be in the database (or pre-existing existing analog) 20

21 Example: Pre-Existing Analog Map Existing Public Safety Map 21

22 Example: Resulting Map New Design (proposed) 22

32 Table Design of Databases that Support Mapping Symbolization A single field that tells ArcMap the symbol for each feature Keeps symbology process simple Permits use of Match to Symbols in a Style In some cases another field, denoting priority, may be used, for example, to set the size of symbols 32

33 Match to Symbols in a Style 33

34 Table Design of Databases that Support Mapping Symbolization A single field that tells ArcMap the symbol for each feature Keeps symbology process simple Permits use of Match to Symbols in a Style In some cases another field, denoting priority, may be used, for example, to set the size of symbols 34

35 Table Design of Multi-Purpose Databases that Support Mapping Text Placement Useful fields to add have: Label String: : Pre-calculated to avoid performance-detracting label expressions Shape Type: : For polygon features to help Maplex differentiate between curved and horizontal placement Label Length: : Help Maplex: : set up for overrun or place outside options (really useful when annotation is not an option): Len([<field>]) Use on short streets (spurs) or small polygons (lakes, cultural areas, etc.) Label Type: : For example, restricted access highways need to know type of shield 35

36 Scale and Information Themes on Maps Different kinds of features behave differently as scale changes Goal: represent features as geographic, not geometric (when you can see the vertices) Some data will be used in multiple products and at a wider range of scales Map Information Theme Hydrography Boundaries Roads 36 1:1,000 Map Scale 1:10,000,000

37 Making Sense of Multi-Scale Multi-Scale vs. Scale Range: Multi-scale is multiple predefined scales or Z-heights Z (i.e., discreet) Scale range is all scales between a defined minimum and maximum scale or Z-height Z (i.e., continuous) ESRI s products and functionality are multi-scale Design your data to so that scale is managed or assigned as a characteristic of a feature class As a highly tuned/optimized single-scale scale dataset As a highly tuned/optimized dataset for use within a range of scales 37

38 Multi-Scale Map Design A multi-scale map is an ordered sequence of single-scale scale maps Each single-scale scale map must Stand on its own (store as a group layer) Have a consistent density of information Avoid changing convention or style between maps If possible keep important features stable (not moving around) Maplex: : use same font and placement strategies at each scale Use same colors, particularly for area fill symbols and text There are scales when the themes of information on the map will change to accommodate more detailed information Evolve cartographic strategies at these points 38
