Data Sources for ArcGIS

Local Data Agency or Enterprise Data Internet services

Local data—on your computer

Internal data types on local, home, or agency shared drives

• File Geodatabases • Personal Geodatabases • Shape Files • CAD Files • Excel Spreadsheets • Text files • etc.

Access through Folder Connections

Don’t see your folder? Add a new folder connection

Agency or Enterprise Data in SDE Internal to state network GIO Library Agency Libraries (Typically limited to agency staff)

INDOT DNR IDEM

Connection files found at http://myshare.in.gov/gis

More details on this topic later in session.

Found in Database Connections Section in Catalog

Services: Available even on the Space Station

Services stream data via internet Services are added and accessed from GIS Servers section in Catalog

State Agencies GIS Services URLs https://gis.in.gov/arcgis/services https://imagery.gis.in.gov/arcgis/services

Many organizations host Services Indiana Map http://maps.indiana.edu/arcgis/services IBRC (Indiana Business Research Center) The National Map http://services.nationalmap.gov/arcgis/services Individual agencies, NRCS, EPA, USGS, etc. Some Connection files found at http://myshare.in.gov/gis

Using Search in ArcMap

SDE databases can be added to the search list:

Using Search in ArcMap

ArcGIS Online option can access gis.in.gov, GIO Image Services, Indiana Map services and other services registered to ArcGIS Online.

State Geographic Information Office GIS data library

• Includes statewide datasets from the state departments of Environmental Management, Health, Natural Resources, and Transportation.

• Includes many other commonly used datasets from non-state sources—federal agencies, Indiana Geologic Survey, others.

• A “one-stop shop” for most statewide GIS data.

• THE key source for state government data that are dynamic.

• Some agencies also have a complementary data library for data used internally.

What is the GIO Library

• Available to all staff that are connected to the state backbone network, directly or through VPN.

• Stored in an Oracle database, think “Access on steroids”

• Accessed in ArcGIS Desktop through “SDE”

• Direct Connect: requires Oracle Client and a tnsnames file on machine

• Instant Connection: requires Oracle Instant Client • Layer files on GIS SharePoint site and some agency

folders use Direct Connect

Data in the GIO Library

Data in the GIO Library

1. Using a Layer File

2. Add the map layers directly from the

GIO_Library using Database Connections in Catalog

Adding GIO Library Data to ArcMap

Add the map layers to ArcMap using layer files that have been saved.

https://myshare.in.gov/gis/Layer%20Files/Forms/AllItems.aspx • Download from Direct Connect folder • Drag and drop from a shared file location, e.g. DNR:

M:\LayerFiles • Drag and drop from a Local file location

• Layer files can be renamed to make them more user friendly, and many of them have enhanced symbology

• While a layer file may not exist for all of the datasets, many commonly used data are included on SharePoint site and other locations.

Adding GIO Library data using Layer Files

• All available datasets can be found with this connection.

• The dataset names begin with GIO and typically include a descriptive name and steward. • GIO.Bridges_INDOT_IN • GIO.Trails_DNR_OutRec_IN

• Use search option in ArcMap to find data

• No layer properties set

Adding GIO Library data using Database Connection

1. Determine network location (e.g.

M:\ConnectionFiles\SDE_Connections) of GIO_Library2.sde file or download it to your computer from the State GIS SharePoint Site

2. In Catalog or ArcCatalog, make sure you have a folder connection to the location the file is stored and browse to it.

3. Right-click on GIO_Library2 and copy.

4. Right-click on Database Connections and paste.

5. Double-click on the connection under Database Connections to open.

Adding the GIO_Library2.sde connection to Catalog
