3. Steps in Data Modeling (1) Conceptualize the user's view of data –what are the basic features needed to solve the problem? (2) Select the geographic representation –points, lines, areas, rasters, TINs (3) Define objects and relationships –draw a UML diagram, specify relationships, “behaviors” (4) Match to geodatabase elements –Refine relationships, “behaviors” (5) Organize geodatabase structure, add data

4. UML ( cont. ) Diagrammatic notation = “visual language”... For constructing a data model Drawings, relationships constructed in Visio Tools to input a drawing to ArcGIS –input data to the data model

5. UML Notation Zeiler pp. 97-99 a class is shown as a box top part: name of class lower part: attributes methods associated with the class lines connect boxes, indicate relationships

8. UML Notation ( cont. ) Abstract class –specify subclasses underneath –no new instances Feature Class –Specify subtypes underneath Food Veggies Meats

9. Relationships Links between classes, shown as lines One to one One to many Many to many

10. Relationships (cont.) 1:1 - solid line –one record in Class A linked to one record in Class B “is married to” the class of state capitals linked to the class of states 1:n - solid line with * at one end –one record in Class A linked to any number of records in Class B "owns" the class of states linked to the class of area codes

12. Relationships (Arc Marine example)

13. Relationships (cont.) m:n - solid line with * at both ends –any number of records in Class A linked to any number of records in Class B "has visited” "was never married to" the class of mountain lions linked to the class of wilderness areas

15. Type Inheritance White triangle –Class B inherits the properties (attributes, methods) of Class A –the class street inherits from the class transportation network Solid diamond –the parts and the whole depend on each other lecturelab

24. Arc Marine Data Model Exercise Exercise and data at dusk.geo.orst.edu/djl/arcgis/ArcMarine_Tutorial/ What to turn in: –Screen snapshot of what your ArcMap session looks like at the end of Section 4 (including dynseg referencing) –Answers to 2 simple questions at end of Section 4 (which cruise? which vehicle?) –Can put all of the above in a single MS-Word document, labeled with your NAME please! Due in Dropbox, Apr. 29, 6:00 p.m.

30. Objects and Features Object (real world) –in ArcGIS an object is non-spatial –it is NOT a point, line, or area –it has no geographic location –it has no shape attribute in its table –Drainage network, ship, vehicle, … customer, lake, house, etc. Feature (spatial context) –an object that has geographic location –a point, line, area, TIN, raster
