of geodatabase datasets, such as feature classes, tables, relationship classes, raster datasets,
subtypes, topologies, domains, and so on.
These then become the individual geodatabase datasets you create in ArcCatalog (or that
you copy from a data model and modify). Then you import the actual data into each feature
class, or create new data by digitizing or scanning features in the feature class.
Here are the characteristics of each data theme that youll want to dene:
How the data themes will be represented geographicallysome may be simple feature
classes (wells represented as point features); some may require special datasets (an
elevation surface represented as a terrain, or utilities as a geometric network). The map

data theme.
The attributes of each data themethe elds (column names), the data type for each
(whether numeric or character, the eld length, and so on), and the valid values or
value ranges. Youll also want to dene the table structure for each data theme
whether all the attributes are held in the themes attribute table, or whether there are
related tables and, if so, which elds will be used as the common keys for building
relationships.
The relationships with other features. Consider how each map layer will be displayed
in an integrated fashion with other layers. For modeling and analysis, consider how
information will be used with other datasets (that is, how they are combined and
integrated). This will help you to identify key spatial relationships and data integrity

specify that all streets are split where they intersect other streets, street segments connect at
endpoints, and so on. You can ensure that these rules are implemented in the geodatabase.
Its also useful to dene display properties for maps and 3D views, such as symbology,
standard map scales, and text fonts. These will be used to dene map layers.
