1 GS It s Not Just a Smallworld Anymore Pat Reid Spatial Business Systems Autodesk Business Unit Director Dennis Beck Spatial Business System CEO

2 Class Summary Overview of integration issue Solutions for Smallworld to Autodesk Demonstration Spatial Gateway for enterprise-level environments

3 Learning Objectives At the end of this class, you will be able to: Understand advantages of integrating CAD and GIS Understand difference of real-time integration vs. data translation Learn SBS/Autodesk solution for CAD/GIS integration Learn concepts of enterprise-level spatial integration

4 Why Integrate GIS and CAD?

5 Traditional Reason Not to Integrate Too complicated! Technically Organizationally Different approaches to the work CAD operators utilize engineering precision to capture a single project GIS captures broad concepts over large geographical areas GIS wants CAD accuracy, but hard to do over large areas GIS/CAD systems have their own proprietary mechanisms for interacting with product-specific application databases

6 Impact of Non-Integration Duplicate labor costs for double entry of data Backlog (or no) of As Built data Design and GIS data divergence Impacts efficiency Safety Compliance Potential exists for a major loss of data integrity

9 Data Accuracy Accurate CAD Data increases GIS accuracy CAD GIS Accurate GIS Data reduces Need for field validation

10 SBS Smallworld Integration

11 Real Time Interaction versus Data Exporting SBS has two solutions for integrating CAD and Smallworld GIS FDO / SW Connector (Real-time) FME / SBS Plug-in (Translation-based) Both solutions allow for data translation on loading FDO supports Smallworld to Autodesk Map 3-D FME supports Smallworld to any source data

12 Smallworld FDO Provider Built on SBS SWConnector Technology Uses C++ client library Supports Read/write access to feature data in a Smallworld VMDS data store Describing schema and capabilities Field types, Domains, Enumerators Feature data editing Select Insert, Update, Delete Coordinate System transformations Disconnected processing Long transactions

13 SWConnector Server Component Built with Smallworld Magik Supports Smallworld versions 3.1sp2->Current Not all functionality supported at earlier releases 75+ Smallworld calls Client Components Delivered as C++ DLL, Managed C++ DLL (.Net) or Java (jar) All clients use the same Server Component Leverages Smallworld TICS protocol Functionality Full Read/Write capabilities for Smallworld data Exposes vector VMDS and SOM geometry Integrates with Schema, Authorization, Data, Topology, Styles, ACE etc. Extensible by developers

20 Enterprise-Level Spatial Integration

21 Integrating Design in a Multi-GIS Environment Large utility organizations often end up with multiple GIS solutions as well as analysis and CAD packages This is sometimes caused by mergers and acquisitions Sometimes it is just evolutionary Having multiple GIS solutions inhibits enterprise-level application deployment Some of the key technical challenges Cross-system integration Conflict resolution, the Long Transaction problem Data validation between systems Global ID management Amongst others

22 Spatial Gateway: An Enterprise Approach Spatial Gateway is a set of technologies designed to address the multi- GIS / CAD integration issues for enterprise utility deployments COTS applications are leveraged to address many requirements Oracle Spatial common GIS repository Workspace management platform for FME spatial data extract-transform-load (ETL) capabilities Specialty plug-ins and software extensions Change detection Conflict resolution Common network modeling Common application services, such as global ID management

23 Terminology Data bases Application databases Databases used to support specific applications, e.g. Smallworld, Autodesk s North American Data Model, Esri, SAP, others Operational datastore The operational database that includes staging models, metadata models, administration tables and the canonical data store. Canonical datastore Application independent representation of the Real World Objects with mappings back to the application view of the data Spatial data warehouse A consolidated view of the entire GIS database that is isolated from the changes occurring in the ODS. The spatial data warehouse provides application specific data marts to support business requirements such as analytics and temporal modeling 23
