Identifying and addressing spatial problems between feature classes is essential for maintaining the quality of the Utility Network. Intersect Validation is a critical test in maintaining the spatial integrity of utility networks. This powerful test, available in GeoData Sentry, detects where features from one feature class fail to intersect with features from a second featureContinueContinue reading “Validating Feature Interaction in Utility Networks”

Overshoot/Undershoot Validation is a critical test in ensuring the spatial integrity of utility networks. This powerful test detects features within a feature class that fail to connect with features of the same class or an optional second feature class. By identifying spatial problems within and between feature classes, this test plays a vital role inContinueContinue reading “Cleaning Up Edge Issues”

DOWNLOAD THE WHITEPAPER Referential Integrity is an important aspect of data management. GeoData Sentry can be used to detect any discrepancies or mismatches between two tables based on their primary key/foreign key relationships. The primary key and foreign key relationship ensures that all rows in one table are associated with corresponding rows in a secondContinueContinue reading “A Quick Intro to Referential Integrity and Data Management”

We had a great time at Esri IMGIS 2023! It was fun to catch up with several of our existing customers and meet some new people. And we’re already on the calendar for next year! It was amazing to see the amount of interest in our Utility Network Data Assessment. These are a few of the recurringContinueContinue reading “A little Q & A”

DOWNLOAD THE WHITE PAPER Annotation Validation is an important step in maintaining the integrity of feature linked annotation within a geodatabase. This validation process focuses on testing the accuracy and consistency of annotation expressions. Using GeoData Sentry, a separate test is created for each annotation expression, evaluating it against the actual annotation text strings andContinueContinue reading “Why You Shouldn’t Skip On Annotation Validation”

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 andContinueContinue reading “Ensuring a smooth transition to the Utility Network “

Download the White Paper 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 rulesContinueContinue 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-levelContinueContinue reading “Geometric Validation: Key to simplified Utility Network Migration”

Download the White Paper 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 cohesiveContinueContinue reading “Maintain an Edge with Edge Edge Junction Validation”

Download the White Paper 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,ContinueContinue reading “Domain Validation and Migration Success”
