The Geodatabase Data Model
Objects and Object Classes
An object is an instance of an object class
All objects in an object class have the same
properties and behavior
An object can be related to other objects via
relationships

Same spatial reference
Analogous to a coverage
The Geodatabase Data Model
Object and Feature Behavior
End users and data modelers can :
• Instantiate classes with predefined behavior
• Control the default value and acceptable values for any
attribute in a class (domains)
• Partition the objects in a class into like groups (subtypes)
• Control the general and network relationships in which an
object can participate
Rule based, no programming required
The Geodatabase Data Model
Controlling and Specifying Object Behavior
Custom Objects
Connectivity Rules
Relationships
Domains and Validation Rules
Subtype Specification
Feature Type Selection
The Geodatabase Data Model
Subtypes
Similar groups of objects
Lightweight classification mechanism
same attributes and behavior
different default values and domains
The Geodatabase Data Model
Validation Rules
Attribute domains
Connectivity rules
Relationship rules
... are stored in the Geodatabase
Custom rules
... are code based
The Geodatabase Data Model
Validation Rules
The editor in ArcMap provides tools to test
object validity
Rules are evaluated, under user control, during
object editing :
Create a new selection showing all invalid objects
within a specified area
Restrict the current selection to invalid objects only
The Geodatabase Data Model
Domains
A named set of acceptable values for a field
Types of domains
Range
Coded values
Can be shared across multiple object classes

The Geodatabase Data Model
Domains in ArcMap
Attribute editor uses domain values
Identifies illegal values
Provides legal value lists
The Geodatabase Data Model
Relationships
Association between two objects
The Geodatabase maintains the referential
integrity of relationships when objects are
deleted
Related objects can message each other
• eg. move, rotate
The Geodatabase Data Model
Pole Attachments
Composite relationship: pole to transformer
Select a pole and move it
…the transformer follows

The Geodatabase Data Model
Geometric Networks
Models a network relationship between a set of
feature classes
Each feature class has a topological role in the
network (junction or edge)
A network may have multiple feature classes in
the same topological role

The Geodatabase Data Model
Multiple Approaches Possible
The ‘Build Using Existing Data’ approach
The ‘Define in ArcCatalog’ approach
The ‘Define Using CASE and UML’ approach
Designing and Building GeoDatabases
‘Build Using Existing Data’ Approach
Use ArcCatalog and ArcToolbox to load
coverages and shapefiles
Use ArcCatalog to refine and extend loaded
feature classes
build network topology
add domains and rules
Designing and Building GeoDatabases
‘Define in ArcCatalog’ Approach
Use ArcCatalog to define new empty object
classes.
Define validation rules.
Use the object editor and object loaders (in
ArcMap) to populate your feature classes.
Designing and Building GeoDatabases
‘Define Using UML / Case Tools’ Approach
Supports the systematic design of large systems
Use UML to define your domain object model,
based on the generic Geodatabase object
model.
Use a UML Case Tool - eg. Visio, Rational Rose
to specify the UML model.

• Tina Kapka, ESRI Redlands – Object Concepts:
What ESRI users should know
Spatial Relations
Equals – same geometries
Disjoint – geometries share common point
Intersects – geometries intersect
Touches – geometries intersect at common boundary
Crosses – geometries overlap
Within– geometry within
Contains – geometry completely contains
Overlaps – geometries of same dimension overlap
Relate – intersection between interior, boundary or
exterior
Contains Relation
Touches Relation
Spatial Methods
Distance – shortest distance
Buffer – geometric buffer
ConvexHull – smallest convex polygon geometry
Intersection – points common to two geometries
Union – all points in geometries
Difference – points different between two
geometries
SymDifference – points in either, but not both of
input geometries
Convex Hull and Difference Methods
