Duplicate Geometry and Vertex Validation Duplicate Geometry Validation is a critical step in maintaining data accuracy and integrity within utility networks. This powerful test identifies duplicate geometries for points, lines, and polygons, ensuring that data remains consistent and reliable. In the context of geometric networks, it is worth noting that duplicate features may exist andContinue reading “Ensuring a smooth transition to the Utility Network “

Subtype Domain Validation plays a key role in maintaining the integrity of subtype-level coded and range domains within a geodatabase. This GeoData Sentry Test Suite focuses on verifying the validity of values within domain-controlled columns at the subtype level. By automatically generating the test suite from both subtype and domain rules defined in the geodatabase,Continue reading “Subtype Domain Validation and Its Critical Role in Migration”

Geometric Validation plays a vital role in ensuring the smooth migration from Geometric Network to Utility Network architectures. The two architectures handle geometry errors differently, making the detection and correction of these errors important for a smooth and successful transition. In the Geometric Network architecture, tracing and analysis are possible with the existence of low-levelContinue reading “Geometric Validation: Key to simplified Utility Network Migration”

Edge Edge Junction Validation is a crucial component in maintaining the integrity and accuracy of geometric networks. This advanced test identifies instances where two edges are incorrectly connected at a junction, violating the defined connectivity rules. Geometric networks rely on specific rules to govern edge-to-edge connections at junctions, ensuring a cohesive and efficient utility system.Continue reading “Maintain an Edge with Edge Edge Junction Validation”

Domain Validation plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of feature-level coded and range domains within a geodatabase. This GeoData Sentry Test Suite focuses on verifying the validity of values within columns that are domain controlled. By automatically generating the test suite from the domain rules defined in the geodatabase, organizations can effectively assessContinue reading “Domain Validation and Migration Success”

In an era driven by data-driven decision-making, the accuracy and reliability of geospatial information have become non-negotiable. The introduction of the Utility Network has focused a spotlight on data quality. Creation of a Network Topology without dirty areas requires significant up front data assessment, error prioritization and cleanup. GeoData Sentry is a geodatabase quality assessmentContinue reading “Keeping Your Data Clean”

Junction Edge Validation is a vital aspect of maintaining the accuracy and integrity of geometric networks. This powerful test identifies instances where a junction is erroneously connected to an edge where it should not be, based on the defined connectivity rules. In the world of geometric networks, specific rules govern junction-to-edge connections to ensure dataContinue reading “Why Junction Edge Validation is Critical to Utility Databases”

Managing the geodatabase involves essential tasks such as Data Model updates and their implementation. Each of these steps is important to ensuring a successful data model update, and although different organizations may have their own specific methods, the overall process follows a general pattern. This diagram outlines the key steps involved in promoting a dataContinue reading “The Data Model Configuration Management Promotion Cycle”
