Automatic GIS Feature Generation using SDE Java API

Chuck Carufel - Indianapolis/ Marion County GIS

Joe LaCombe – Woolpert

What Are They?

Applications to automatically create GIS features based upon occurrences in non-GIS databases.

TAGG – Tidemark Automated Geography Generator.

Tidemark / Accela Permitting System

1) All Permits

2) Building Permits

SAGA – Siebel Automated Geography Application.

Siebel CRM system. Citizen requests for service.

1) All non-info requests.

Beginnings

Desire to see new structure locations quicker.

2 year planimetric update cycle.

So why not?........

So why not?........

Include all permits, not just buildings.

Ok, well citizen requests are just locations too. And even more folks would like to easily see them.

Chuck’s annual wish list…..

Self-maintaining Data.

So how did we do it?

Master Address Database

(MAD)

Address Table

TableADDRESS

Data typeField namePrec-ision Scale Length

Allow nulls

Main address table containing all non-linear address occurances such as buildings, parcels, and units

ADDR_TAG Long integer No 9 Unique tag among all non-linear address records

ADDR_SOURCE String Yes 5 Place a succinct description of the field in this text

CENTERLINE_TAG Long integer Yes 9 STREET_NAME_ID Long integer Yes 10 Provides a link to the STREET_NAME table

STNUM Long integer Yes 10 Street Number component of address

UNIT_TYPE String Yes 5 Describes the type of unit address

What does MAD do for us?

All Records Will Match

Known Geographic Location

City/County Standard Compliant

Options Considered

Oracle PL/Sql Procedures

ArcGIS Web Service

ArcSDE Java API

SDE Java API

What is it? Java programming interface Process and analyze SDE data

Why SDE Java API

Database Solution Geometry Creation Follows SDE and geodatabase rules

Why SDE Java API

Database Solution Automated, hidden application Needed to run within Oracle System architecture – two servers

Java Stored Procedures

Java Stored Procedures

What are they? Java classes Stored within Oracle Operated via Oracle’s Java Virtual

Machine

Why Java Stored Procedures

Oracle Integration Class files stored in database schema Efficient integration with PL/SQL Oracle developed with Java in mind

Why Java Stored Procedures

System Architecture Database solution: Two-server
