Specific 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, features, and relationships – draw a UML diagram, specify relationships, “behaviors” (4) Match to geodatabase elements – Refine relationships, “behaviors” (5) Organize geodatabase structure, add data

Unified Modeling Language • Entity-relationship diagrams • Design methodologies, diagram notations • UML – Not a design methodology – Just a diagrammatic notation based on methods – Endorsed by leading software and database companies • HTML
Unified Modeling Language UML • Diagrammatic notation = “visual language”. . . • For constructing a data model – Explains, documents on object-oriented structure • Drawings, relationships constructed in Visio – Like CAD for Civil Engineering • Tools to input a drawing to Arc. GIS – input data to the data model
Basic UML Grammer • Things – “Classes” sometimes grouped in “Packages” • Relationships • Diagrams
UML Things
UML Notation Zeiler pp. 97 -99 • a class is shown as a box • top part contains the name of the class • lower part contains the attributes • methods associated with the class • lines connect boxes and indicate relationships
UML Notation ( cont. ) • Abstract class – specify subclasses underneath – Mammals w/human or dog feature classes – no new instances • Feature Class – Specify subtypes underneath – Human, dog, cat
Example: Chicken Object Model

Objects and Features • Object (real world) – in Arc. GIS 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
Relationships • Links between classes, shown as lines • One to one • One to many • Many to many
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
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

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

Arc Marine Data Model Exercise • Exercise and data at dusk. geo. orst. edu/djl/arcgis/Arc. Marine_Tutorial/ • What to turn in: – Screen snapshot of what your Arc. Map 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, May 3 rd, 6: 00 p. m.
