Development of a forestry government agency enterprise GIS system,a disconnected editing approach
The Texas Forest Service (TFS) has developed a geographic information system (GIS) for use by agency personnel in central Texas for managing oak wilt suppression and other landowner assistance programs.This Enterprise GIS system was designed to support multiple concurrent users accessing shared information resources.The disconnected editing approach was adopted in this system to avoid the overhead of maintaining an active connection between TFS central Texas field offices and headquarters since most field offices are operating with commercially provided Internet service.The GIS system entails maintaining a personal geodatabase on each local field office computer.Spatial data from the field is periodically up-loaded into a central master geodatabase stored in a Microsoft SQL Server at the TFS headquarters in College Station through the ESRI Spatial Database Engine (SDE).This GIS allows users to work offline when editing data and requires connecting to the central geodatabase only when needed.
