Arc Marine Purpose
• Your Geodatabase Template
– Data collection at sea/shore … to final geoprocessing, analysis
• Control of required data fields, common data structure
– Simplify enterprise GIS project implementation
• e.g., cruises, MPA networks, habitat mapping
• Program Coding/Application Development
– Common/shared tool development
– Rapid prototyping
– Linkage to processing models
• Data Sharing/Networking
• “Schooling” in the Gdb
– Arc Marine Tutorial in Advanced GIS

Geodatabase
Element Definition
The system identifier used by the
geodatabase to uniquely identify
the Reference Point.
The decimal representation of the
latitude of the Reference Point.
The decimal representation of the
longitude of the Reference Point.
The accuracy value as a range (+/-)
of the latitude and/or longitude.
The code and associated name
that represents the geometric
entity represented by the
Reference Point.
The code and associated method
that represents the method used to
determine the latitude and
longitude coordinates for the
Reference Point on earth.
The code and associated name
that represents the reference
datum used in determining latitude
and longitude coordinates.
The number that represents the
proportional distance on the
ground for one unit of measure on
the map or photo.
The calendar date (dd-mm-yyyy)
when data were collected.
The code and associated name
that represents the party
responsible for providing the
latitude and longitude coordinates.
The text that provides additional
information about the Reference
Point.
The measure of elevation (i.e. the
altitude), in meters, above or below
a reference datum.
The code and associated text that
describes the method used to
collect the vertical measure of a
Reference Point.
The measure of the accuracy used
to collect the vertical measure (i.e.
the altitude) of a Reference Point.
The code and associated name
that represents the reference
datum to determine the vertical
measure.
The code and associated text that
describes the process used to
verify the latitude and longitude
