3. 3 rd April 20122 A major goal of The Centre for GIS is to create and sustain a spirit of harmony in the community of GIS users in Qatar. This is initially achieved at The Centre's GIS training centre where the various individuals involved in GIS all receive their orientation and training. The Centre has ensured compatibility throughout the GIS databases in Qatar. Compatibility itself tends to encourage and sustain cooperation because the data is readily transferred and easy to use.

Presentation Title, Date5 Inside Plant Management Capabilities PRESENT SCENARIO The inside plant view allows users to view and manage: In addition to providing powerful Outside Plant design and management capabilities, Network Engineer offers sophisticated tools for documenting and associating inventory with network structures Schematic Generation The integration of Network Engineer with ESRI ArcGIS Schematics™ enables users to Generate on demand Visualize Manipulate logical representations from linear network data stored in a database. Logical representations display network features without scaling constraints. A schematic representation of network data adds another visualization dimension to analysis and decision support.

SDE puts data into and retrieves data from the RDBMS. ArcGIS ArcGIS gets data from the Spatial Data Engine (SDE) and passes it into Network Engineer. RDBMS (Database) Stores your data to be passed to SDE to be displayed in Network Engineer. Network Engineer makes edits to the geodatabase and passes the data back to ArcGIS to be stored in the RDBMS. Network Engineer
