•
Map authoring – Use predefined map templates to save time and make it easy to
create a consistent style in your maps.
Spatial query – Ask questions of your data and solve complex problems by using a
variety of query-building tools: interactively measure distances and areas, find
features in the map, select data by location or attribute, unselect all, switch the
selection, access layer properties from the Identify dialog box, and much more.
Basic modeling and analysis – Model spatial relationships and measure how
features in a dataset relate to each other in space, and generate reports and charts
of your findings.
Simple feature editing and data integration – Create and edit point, line, and

With ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst, you can create surfaces from data
measurements taken over areas where collecting information for every location would
be impossible or cost prohibitive.
You can fully examine sample data, evaluate uncertainties, generate unique insights,
and create customized interpolation surfaces for more informed decision making.
With ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst you can :
•
•
•
•
Visualize, model, and predict spatial relationships..

diagram generation (automatic generation versus computer-aided design).
With ArcGIS Schematics, you can :
•
•
•

KEY FEATURE
Automatic Diagram Generation
ArcGIS Schematics automatically generates geoschematic and pure schematic views
from existing network data, thus limiting the number of operations needed to build
architecture and maintain network data updates. ArcGIS Schematics provides greater
return on investment by saving you time and money.
Multirepresentation
ArcGIS Schematics allows you to see the same set of network features in different
graphic representations: geographic, geoschematic, and schematic. Multiple
schematics, such as logical and physical displays, provide a better understanding of
how a network is organized and help accelerate decision-making cycles.
Dynamic Interaction with GIS
ArcGIS Schematics complements GIS technology in the design, construction, and
management of networks because it emphasizes the location in the geographic space.
Diagrams are displayed as a layer in ArcMap to simplify the user interface and the
printing of diagrams.
Data-Driven Solution
As a data-driven solution, ArcGIS Schematics provides high-quality, reliable results
and up-to-date representations of the network for any industry. Regardless of the data
model, the symbology is driven by attributes in the geodatabase, preventing
discrepancies between the schematic and the database and eliminating the need for a
redundant database. All information is stored and managed in a geodatabase for ease
of integration, editing, and multiple-user access.
Customized Algorithms
The layout algorithms of ArcGIS Schematics allow the representation of any type of
network or diagram including outside and inside plant diagrams. These algorithms can
be configured and customized to fit industry needs, company standards, and specific
departmental needs within companies. Algorithms may also be created from scratch
using a COM-compliant programming language.
Multiple Data Source Access
Users can manage both spatial and nonspatial data with ArcGIS Schematics and
interact with a geodatabase and other network-related databases within a single
session. Integration of corporate-wide data provides the means to effectively manage
network assets.

translation engine with more than 240 specialized transformers for data
transformation, migration, validation, and distribution.
Incorporate these formats and ETL processes in the geoprocessing framework
using tools, ModelBuilder, and scripts.
KEY FEATURE
The ArcGIS Data Interoperability extension enables ArcGIS Desktop users to
easily use data in many formats.
Key features of ArcGIS Data Interoperability include:
1. Extensive Data Support: Adds additional format support for more than 110
GIS, CAD, BIM/3D, and database formats for reading and writing.
Direct Read: The ability to directly read and use this format in ArcGIS
for visualization, mapping, and analysis
o Data Import: The ability to import data from this format into a
personal or file geodatabase using the Quick Import tool or a custom
Spatial ETL tool.
o Data Export: The ability to export data to this format using the Quick
Export tool or a custom Spatial ETL tool
2. Data Translation: Quick Import and Quick Export tools allow automated
data translation between formats.
o
Quick Import Tool
o
o
This tool enables you to convert input data formats to a personal or file
geodatabase. Use this tool in a model to convert your data to a personal
or file geodatabase for further data processing and editing features.
This tool can be run stand alone or as part of a geoprocessing model,
script-to-script tool.
o
This tool uses a default mapping file to perform the translation.
Quick Export Tool
This tool enables you to convert data between formats.
This tool can be run stand alone or as part of a geoprocessing model,
script-to-script tool.
o This tool uses a default mapping file to perform the translation.
3. Data Transformation/Spatial ETL: Use the Workbench application, an
integrated semantic translation engine, to create custom format definitions and
data transformation tools that easily support your complex data models.
o
o
ETL allows you to:
o
o
o
Extract the spatial data from a source system.
Transform the data into the format and data model required by the
target system.
Load the data into the target system.
Spatial ETL means you can extract, transform, and load spatial data. Spatial
ETL is often referred to as data transformation or semantic data translation. A
data transformation enables you to control the data flow by mapping geometry
and attributes in the source data to geometry and attributes in the destination.
This process may include a change in coordinate system, spatial feature types,
or the attribute schema. This preserves the data integrity while making it
accessible to end users.
4. Geoprocessing Framework:
Formats supported by the ArcGIS Data Interoperability extension can be used
as inputs for the geoprocessing tools. The output from core geoprocessing
operations will be standard ESRI formats. The ArcGIS Data Interoperability
extension also adds a new Data Interoperability Tools toolbox to ArcGIS
Desktop that contains two new conversion tools—Quick Import and Quick
Export—for simple automated conversions. The ArcGIS Data
Interoperability extension also provides the ability to create Spatial ETL
tools. You can combine all this functionality within a single geoprocessing
model. For example, the model below shows the use of a non-ESRI data
format, MapInfo, as the input to the Buffer core geoprocessing tool. The
resultant dataset is then exported to three different formats using the Data
Interoperability Quick Export tool. This model demonstrates how you can read
data and distribute analysis results in non-ESRI formats.
