You have been assigned team lead on the development of a new GIS database for a large county. From the options given below, what is the best approach to this project? (Choose the best response)

• You and your team should study the county and develop the database for them

based on your expert knowledge of GIS

• You and your team should interview end-users at the county to learn how this

enterprise functions and then design a database to satisfy their particular needs

• You and your team should acquire a copy of the county's geospatial data and convert

it into the Local Government Information Model (LGIM). Delivery of this end-product will setup the county for their long-term needs

• Both a and c are equally correct. - Correct Answer - B. You and your team should

interview end-users at the county to learn how this enterprise functions and then design a database to satisfy their particular needs

Object-relational databases have become the cornerstone of modern GIS. These

databases can be best described in which of the following ways: (Choose the

best response)

• Each database contains one table and one GIS layer
• The database contains one attribute table for each GIS layer. The attribute table may

contain numerous fields (attributes)

• The database will contain many GIS layers, each with an attribute table. The attribute

table may contain numerous fields (attributes)

• The database will contain many GIS layers, each with an associated attribute table.

In addition, other tables may exist that further describe specific characteristics of the GIS layer and are associated with the GIS layer through a relationship. Each table may contain numerous fields (attributes). - Correct Answer - D. The database will contain many GIS layers, each with an associated attribute table. In addition, other tables may 3 / 4

pg. 4 exist that further describe specific characteristics of the GIS layer and are associated with the GIS layer through a relationship. Each table may contain numerous fields (attributes).

One common task faced by the GIS professional is the assurance of data quality and correctness. An example of this is ensuring all County polygons fall within the polygon of their respective State. This can be accomplished using which of the following workflows? (Choose the best response)

• Clip the Counties polygon layer with the State polygon layer. Then check if the

counties layer changed. If so, it is understood that the Counties layer was larger than the State layer, thus requiring further action.

• Apply a topology rule to the Geodatabase feature dataset containing County and

State polygon feature classes and determine if the State feature class is covered by the Counties feature class

• Apply a topology rule to the folder containing County and State shapefiles and

determine if the State feature class is covered by the Counties feature class

• Simply sum the area of the Counties layer and State layer. If th - Correct Answer - B.

Apply a topology rule to the Geodatabase feature dataset containing County and State polygon feature classes and determine if the State feature class is covered by the Counties feature class

When a GIS dataset for a given project is constantly revised, accessed, and manipulated by multiple users the best practice approach for storing the data is (Choose the best response)
