ArcGIS Marine Data Model
dusk.geo.orst.edu/djl/arcgis
A Marine Data Model
• Basic template for implementing GIS projects
– input, formatting, geoprocessing, creating maps,
performing analyses
• Relationships with rules, behaviors used in
geoprocessing and analysis
• Basic framework for building software tools
Implications for Data Collection & Analysis …

A Few GIS-Related Issues
• Data sharing
• More data collection
– Digital orthophotos
– Bathymetric surveying
– Water quality monitoring
• Standards: Datums, Projections, Metadata
– Transformation parameters
• Planning & permitting - communal lands
• Local capacity to maintain GIS efforts
