3 Introduction Introduction Course goals Using the course workbook Additional resources Installing the course data 1 Evaluating GIS data quality Evaluate data layers to determine a problem Find discrepancies Why are these images so different? What is causing these snapping issues? Accuracy and precision Resolution Scale Tolerance Exercise 1A: Explore and diagnose data quality issues Make a folder connection Create new feature class Digitize features Align data from different scales Diagnose the problem Coordinate systems Projected coordinate systems PCS parameters Data draws in different parts of coordinate space Layer extents Different geographic coordinate systems Datums Datums affect coordinate values Data does not align Activity: Choose the right map projection Test your knowledge Exercise 1B: Work with coordinate systems and projections Work with misaligned data Identify an unknown coordinate system Add data with similar GCS Add data with an incorrect GCS Add data with a different PCS and GCS (Optional) Append several roads layers together Answers to Lesson 1 questions i

4 2 Managing data in ArcGIS Geodatabase Types of geodatabases Activity: Choose the correct geodatabase Getting data into the geodatabase Activity: Determine data-loading scenarios Performing multiple conversions Exercise 2A: Adding data to the geodatabase Create a geodatabase Convert shapefiles into geodatabase feature classes Set up a model iterator Create a feature dataset and migrate feature classes to it Add data to feature dataset Geodatabase validation Schema changes Rasters in the geodatabase LAS datasets Working with networks in ArcGIS Types of networks Linear referencing Geocoding Composite locators Exercise 2B: Create geodatabase behaviors Prepare data for subtypes Create subtypes Create a domain Answers to Lesson 2 questions 3 Ways to approach GIS analysis Analysis workflow Determine type of analysis ArcGIS analysis methods Describe methodology to automate map book Fixing broken data layers in ArcMap Locating a vineyard What is weighted suitability analysis? Activity: Determine relative importance Exercise 3A: Locate a missing hiker and route helicopters Map the location where the hiker was last seen Select search and rescue resources Acquire and evaluate a model and script ii

5 Edit model elements Add a script tool to the model Share your analysis as a geoprocessing package Challenge: Make a new toolbar and add functionality Exercise 3B: Determine best place to land a helicopter Analyze tool parameters and model outputs Explore the Weighted Overlay tool Reclassify the slope raster Add a vegetation raster to the analysis Run model and analyze results Answers to Lesson 3 questions Challenge solution: Make a new toolbar and add functionality 4 Problem-solving with ArcGIS Analysis in ArcGIS Resource allocation Site selection Identifying patterns Topographic analysis Exercise 4A: Perform network analysis Explore a network dataset Add a network dataset and build it Make a closest facility layer Create network locations and solve closest facility Add a point restriction to the network Exercise 4B: Perform visibility analysis Calculate the viewshed for one observer point Calculate viewsheds using multiple observers Answers to Lesson 4 questions 5 Visualizing GIS data Cartographic workflow ArcGIS Online can enhance maps Using basemap layers Symbolizing the world Working with symbols What are cartographic representations? Bad map, good map, better map Visual weight Data-driven pages Ways to visualize your work iii

6 Exercise 5: Create data-driven pages for search grid Create a grid-index feature Explore and create attributes for search grid Create and apply domains Edit search grid attributes and symbology Create basemap layers Create data-driven pages Create layout Export your maps Answers to Lesson 5 questions 6 Sharing maps and data Ways of sharing your data Packaging layers and maps Sharing models Sharing scripts Serving your maps and data on the web Other means of sharing and publishing What can be published as an image service? Publishing raster and mosaic datasets Geodatabase replication Replication types Activity: Geodatabase replication scenarios Sharing with a non-arcgis user Data-sharing scenarios Exercise 6: Share GIS data and maps Share a layer with another user Share a map with another user Prepare a model for sharing Publish a map using the Publisher extension Open published map in ArcReader Answers to Lesson 6 questions Appendixes Appendix A: Esri data license agreement Appendix B: Resources iv
