Unique Federated Information Management Approach
- Index rather than convert
- Keep the richness and meaning of your information in your favorite formats (no conversion)
- Find information via spatial or non-spatial criteria
- View/Edit using your favorite viewing and editing tools, Applications can be launched directly from the map interface
- Manage, index, edit, and printing/plotting
- Structured information with schemas such as spatial databases, XFM DGNs, Shapefiles
- Unstructured information such as DGN, DWG, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF
Document Service
- Ability to store spatial and non-spatial files
- Scalable solution
- Ability to manage complex files with references
(for example: DGN, SHP, MXD, DWG)
- CAD Standards Management
- Multiple application integration
- MicroStation v7, v8, XM
- All app based on MicroStation
- AutoCAD 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2002, 2000
- ArcMap (ESRI) 9.X
- Microsoft Office 2007, 2003, XP, 2000, 97
Spatial Indexing/Searching Service
- Ability to quickly find files based on:
- Properties (size, type, date, etc)
- Custom attributes
- Spatial locations (extents)
- Non-spatial contents (text)
- Spatial contents (features)
- Ability to quickly find features based on:
- Spatial criteria
- Non-Spatial criteria
- Background map support
- Background map: referenced map that shows the region of interest
- Can be composed of multiple DGN files
- Support raster attachment
- Map created on the server and then published to the client machines
- For a given data source you can have as many maps as needed
- Support scale dependant display
- For example: Streets show at 1:5000 and street names show up only at 1:1000
- Projection Management
- On-the-fly projection of spatial locations over the background map to a defined universal projection.
- Assigning spatial locations:
- A spatial location can:
- Be manually defined
- Be inherited from the parent folder
- Be scanned from the file* (auto extract and batch)
- Be imported from an external file
- Be calculated (for a folder and files *)
- Be inferred form an attribute value
- It can be a gradual process (like with any other meta data)
- Text Indexing (Office, DGN, DWG, PDF)
- Run on the server on a scheduled basis
- Can be used as research criteria
- Can be combined with other criteria
- Feature indexing
- Run on the server on a scheduled basis
- Geometry and attributes are indexed

Workflow Service
- Organization members need to work together in a structured, secured, collaborative way
- Workflow is a set of states (for example: initial, design, 75% design, complete) successively traversed by an object
- For each state different security can be enforced on objects stored in the system
- For each state it is also possible to have specific communication enforced through e-mails.
- The Federated System helps organization members get the right information at the right time in the right context

Spatial Database Service
- Excellent Oracle Database Citizen
- Create 100% Oracle Spatial Standard data
- Use Oracle Spatial metadata and coordinate systems
- Use Oracle standard versioning (Workspace Manager)
- Not requiring any proprietary schemas, tables or fields (no MSLink)
- Implementation reviewed by Oracle Spatial team
- Coordinate Systems support with on the fly reprojection
- Text and Feature-Linked text
- Coded Domains
- Multi-User Editing via Oracle Standard Versioning
- Works with Oracle Workspace Manager to enable multi-user editing workflows
- Supports long transaction workflows
- Study different scenarios with an optimistic approach, no information is locked from users at any time
- Includes reconciliation tools to resolve conflicts
- Identify, browse, and visualize conflicts
- Visualize all versions connected in the database
- Conflict Inspector assists user in finding and fixing conflicts
- Conflict resolution tools for geometry and attribute conflicts
- Commit reconciled version
- Modifications tracked so only updates posted
- Short and Long editing sessions using database standard Oracle database lock
- Works with Oracle session locking for enabling short editing sessions
- Works with Oracle Workspace Manager to enable long editing session where persistent locking is required
- Time Component Support
- Track Edit History in the Database
- Query back in time—for example: “show me the census blocks as they were on the Census 2000”
- Act on a feature now and have it reflected in the future
- Query in the future—for example: “show me this planned section of highway as it will be in 2007”
- Produce historical maps and reports
- Supports Oracle Valid Time
- Supports Oracle History
- Data Loading Tool
- Batch loading conversion tool allowing converting DGN, DGN/XFM,
- DGN/MsLink and GeoGraphics project to SQL and SQL Loader scripts for batch loading operation
- Web Services Based
- Service Oriented Architecture allows performing extraction and posting using standard SOAP Web services
- Creates simplified user interface and then simply call the Web services for performing operations
Plotting Service
- Multi-format Plotting and Publishing support
- CAD formats: MicroStation DGN, AutoCAD DWG
- Industry-standard raster files
- Microsoft Office formats
- Adobe PDF
- Output to Microsoft Windows printer drivers and InterPlot drivers
- Direct output for digital offline content like Adobe PDF, DPR, TIFF, JPG, or CALS digital formats
- Multiple Print Interfaces
- Common dialog interfaces for both MicroStation and AutoCAD
- Organizer interface for batch printing
- Command line interfaces for batch submissions
- Batch Plotting
- Multi-format set creation from MicroStation, AutoCAD, Microsoft Office,
- Raster, and PDF formats
- Automatically apply common project settings for more efficient set creation
- Save and maintain pre-defined sets for future reuse
- Plot entire sets or a select set immediately with a simple print command
- On-demand re-plot of saved sets
- Custom Presentation
- Control element style and plot order at plot time
- Text substitution for information such as time, date, file path, and username
- Text extraction for attribute information
- Element definition, including custom line style definition, element display order control, and area-fill of closed elements with a specified color or pattern
- Apply audio, video, bookmarks, internal PDF document links, Web URL Links, and attachments
- Exploit Geospatial Server feature information for the styling, creation of bookmarks, navigation aides, and additional component information
- Content Rich PDF Output
- Publish your specifications from the same interface you publish your drawings to produce a more complete set of deliverables in one file
- Navigate from drawings to specifications by including PDF navigation aids such as bookmarks and links
- Navigation aids such as hyperlinks, bookmarks, and searchable text as well as including non-PDF file attachments make the PDF more discoverable
