Egg Validation
Examples:
 Ct = Ca + Cb + Cc
(calculated automatically)
 So > Sa > Sb > Sc > Sd
 Enforce a Ct of 9+ or 10
when floe size is 8
 Enforce a valid Cb when

Our Immediate Future
We are now involved in an
ambitious, multi-year program
to implement an extensive data
archive which will support
trend analysis
(30+ years of data)
ArcSDE is the enabling technology
for this initiative
