National Geographic Database NGDv2 Road/Boundary Maintenance Editor
DESCRIPTION
The objective is to outsource the design, development, testing, implementation and documentation of an integrated spatial maintenance editor (NGDv2 Editor) that incorporates the features, functionality and business rules for boundary and road maintenance, road network synchronization and QA validation into a single product. The NGDv2 Editor has been architected as a hybrid desktop application combining ESRI ArcObjects software components and VB.NET development to create custom business modules that can integrate into and extend the 3rd party ESRI ArcMap editor product. The NGDv2 Editor will be used to update a Geodatabase feature dataset consisting of spatial feature data classes and textural tables through an ArcSDE instance using an underlying Oracle database. Geodatabase versioning and work flow management (ESRI JTX) is also incorporated into the environment to extend operational functionality and features.
