Project Strategies

Project Strategies
To minimize risk and reduce development effort
adopt the core ArcFM model

Model can be configured for your needs

add and relabel properties establish domains specify relationships configure symbology, labels, etc.

Project Strategies
Critical success factors for enterprise solutions development
budget and plan for adoption of new technology consider procuring outside assistance for initial design and setup
accelerate project implementation, reduce risk

Project Strategies
ArcInfo 8 architecture introduces additional protocols to ArcFM projects
augmenting is easy (classes and properties) removing classes is allowed removing properties is not allowed it will be more difficult to leverage future product enhancements if you build your own components from scratch

ArcInfo 8 GeoDatabase

ArcInfo 8 GeoDatabase
A new geographic data model Stored in an RDBMS Features with behavior Topological relationships

Object Classes
Stores objects and their properties Non-spatial (e.g., parcel owners) Objects have unique system identifiers Like objects grouped into an object class Objects in an object class have the same
properties - stored in the table as attributes behavior - implemented as a component

Object Classes
A table stores an ObjectClass Type Axial Inlet Size 24 ...

PUMP A row stores an Object OID 518

Feature Classes
Object classes which store spatial objects (i.e., features) Features are objects with required shape Store spatial objects with the same
properties - stored in the table as attributes behavior - implemented as a component

Feature Classes
FeatureClass (table) LATERAL OID Feature (row) 524 Shape Type ... ... X,Y,Z,M, ... Domestic

Feature Geometry
Points Multipoints Lines Polygons

1 Line

1 Poly

X, Y
Z, M (optional) Integer coordinate storage Separate coordinate domain for X, Y, Z, M values
2 Paths 3 Rings (closed paths) Segments Line Circular arc

Bezier curve

Feature Datasets
Container for feature classes
shared spatial reference

Analogous to a coverage
less restrictive

May also contain

relationship classes geometric networks

Modeling a subsystem

Domains
Describe the legal values of a field type
used to ensure attribute integrity

Can be shared among classes Uniquely named Types of domains

range: mains can be 40 to 100 psi coded value: mains have diameter of 10, 24 or 36 inches

Domains
Range domains
water distribution mains can have a pressure between 40 and 100 psi

Coded value domains

water distribution mains can have a diameter of 10, 24 or 36 inches

Subtypes
Different types of features or objects in an object class
same attributes and behavior can have different default values and domains for each field

Example: in a feature class which stores Mains

steel mains can be 0 to 150 psi PVC mains can be 0 to 100 psi both are subtypes of the Mains feature class

Default Values
Establish default values based upon object class, field, and subtype triplet
e.g., (Main, Pressure, PVC) = 80 psi

Enable default initialization of objects once subtype is selected

ArcMap property inspectors

Relationships
An association between objects
feature to object, feature to feature, etc.

Stored in a relationship class Related objects can message each other

origin to destination, destination to origin, both, neither can trigger behavior (cascade delete, move to follow, custom)

Relationships
Composite Composite relationship, relationship, Pole Pole to to Transformer Transformer

Select Select a a pole pole and and move move it it

the the transformer transformer follows follows

Geometric Networks
Topological relationship between feature classes Used to model network systems Topology:
based upon geometric coincidence always live

Feature classes in the same dataset

Geometric Networks

Data Model
Models available in pre-release package
analysis formal UML detailed design

Implemented as COM components Many possibilities for configuration and customization of the model

Customizing ArcFM Water

Customizing Existing Object Classes

Define a new feature class (object class)
add attribute fields, set geometry type, spatial reference, etc.

Import an object class

import template from another object class in any GeoDatabase

Edit the behavior of an object class

set subtypes, domains, relationships, etc.

Modeling Additional Behavior

System can usually be customized without creating custom objects If it is necessary to create additional custom behavior on the object
nearly any COM compliant language can be used: C++, VB, Delphi CASE tools and ESRI Code Generation and Schema Wizards make this a lot easier

Programming Custom Objects

Custom objects requires programming in COM-compliant language
only VC++ or Delphi (dont ask about VB) custom object classes can use VB or VJ++

CASE tools make it easier

ESRI Provides Vanilla Objects

Custom Objects
Developers create custom objects and intricate data schemas No difference between ESRI supplied and developer-supplied custom objects
merely support required interfaces augments with new interfaces

Custom Objects
What you will need
UML and MS Repository aware CASE tool
Visio Professional or Enterprise

Visual C++ or Delphi GeoDatabase data model diagram ArcCatalog OO programming skills and knowledge of COM

Creation Process
Create the object model
3rd party CASE tool

Export to the Microsoft Repository

3rd party CASE tool UML export wizard

Generate stub-code
ESRI supplied wizard (VC++ only)

Implement custom behavior

you program into the stubs

Create the GeoDatabase schema

Object Class Extensions
