How to maintain your data model whilst integrating complex geospatial datasets

Spatial Database Administrator (sDBA) is a powerful spatial data management tool developed by EC. It is designed to be an incredibly easy-to-use environment for cartographers to better manage the various sources of spatial data, such as PSMA (Public Sector Mapping Agencies), GA (Geoscience Australia), etc. It is specifically designed to reduce the complexity of publishing map datasets to the Internet, with tight and visually driven integration to Content Management Systems (CMS) and Map Publishing System (AutoCAD, MapInfo etc) .

sDBA is a web-based spatial data manager used to import multiple disparate spatial datasets and map them into a Common Data Model (CDM). With CDM, data managers are able to mitigate the risk of changing data formats from various spatial data sources. The CDM interfaces to the CMS and MPS through the provision of database structures and formats that are immune to the ever changing data formats from various data sources.sDBA is also a spatial data manager for AutoDesk MapGuide and Oracle Spatial. It has tools for Oracle Spatial data management, MapGuide and Web Map Service (WMS) browser. It can import ESRI shapefiles (shp/shx/dbf) to Oracle. It can also export MapGuide spatial data files (sdf) from Oracle.

Main features:

· Companions to Autodesk MapGuide product suite

· Map disparate vendor datasets into your own common data models

· Allows a derived data model to be designed from source data

· Import ESRI shapefiles (shp/shx/dbf) to Oracle

· Export MapGuide spatial data files (sdf) from Oracle Spatial

· Easy denormalisation of datasets for easier mapping

· Automatically generates Autodesk MapGuide layers and datasource definitions

· Integrated Autodesk MapGuide backup and restore

· Web Map Service browsing

· Built-in Oracle Spatial data management tools

· Full user/group/role management which can be customized
