Relationship Class A relationship class establishes a link between objects in a geodatabase feature dataset (feature classes or tables). Unlike Joins or Relates, relationship classes can be created using any table cardinality, and between tables or geospatial data, in either direction. Relationship classes can allow the data users access to all related features, easily edit attributes and geometry, or even directly perform edits to the data automatically. Two Types: Simple Composite

Domains Rules that describe legal values for a field Two Types: Ranged – an attribute domain that limits the range of permissible values for a numeric attribute Coded-value: a domain comprising two parts—a code and its corresponding value Helpful Hints: Domains can be useful when editing data, especially if there are multiple users, to create consistency in text fields and avoid spelling errors Changing your domain settings will tell Arc how to handle polygon or line splits for specific fields.

Subtypes Classifications within a feature class or table Logical grouping of features “the most significant classification of the objects in your object class”

XRay for Catalog Add-In used to develop, refine and document your geodatabase designs Works with XML workspace documents and provides a simple spreadsheet interface to your geodatabase Each dataset/domain presented in a separate worksheet
