Spatial Layer Manager
The Spatial Layer Manager (SLM) allows database or system administrators to create spatial layers (ArcSDE Layers), modify and edit attributes within existing layers, and load and synchronize data from multiple commercial and proprietary sources.
Currently, your company may be investing large amounts of resources managing spatial layers internally. Now, there's a powerful toolkit available to minimize the time required to create
and manage your layers. More specifically, users will be able to create new spatial layers from any Oracle database with a geographic component for deeper data mining of commercial and/or proprietary data. Installed on your in-house server,
the Spatial Layer Manager supports an ESRI SDE/Oracle environment. The Spatial Layer Manager imports and synchronizes data and then populates the spatial layers based on defined
business rules. The result is the creation of a standard workflow for spatial layer development and management within your organization.
Key Benefits of the Spatial Layer Manager:
- The Spatial Layer Manager has a configuration utility that makes spatial layer (ArcSDE Layer) creation and editing a standard and supportable process
- The SLM allows the creation of 2D/3D point, line and area ArcSDE layers from relational tables
- The SLM's SDE2SDE LOADER integrates existing geometry with new attributes to create a new customized layer that is fully maintained and synchronized
- The SLM automatically synchronizes data changes without requiring the layer to be recreated
- The SLM reduces operating costs by allowing faster creation and delivery of spatial layers through standard supported workflows using automated tools
- The SLM allows integration and synchronization of multiple data sources — commercial and proprietary
- The SLM is a toolkit that can be efficiently and effectively used by an experienced SDE Administrator.
Basin Spatial Layers
Basin spatial layers offer the ultimate method for highly visual comparative basin studies. With our basin layers added to your GIS environment, you can easily combine IHS's extensive basin and E&P data with your proprietary data, improving the quality of your analysis and final decisions.
Basin Spatial Layers are a collection of more than 150 pre-defined attributes that can be quickly queried and displayed in a GIS mapview. Some attributes are raw data from IHS's basin and E&P databases, but most are actually filters or calculated metrics using our data as a source. Here are some examples:
- License area vs. basin size
- Reserves associated to play
- Percentage of seal success
- Number of traps in basin
- Fast mapviews of single attributes, or combinations of attributes, give you an unparalleled ability to speed up and deepen your understanding of complex basin characteristics and yet-to-find potential
