Problems

• Open Data bulk uploads

• Integrating Metadata Updates into a fast-paced environment

• Open up Metadata to employees outside GIS to access/search/contribute

• Track feature class updates through workflow

• Identify feature classes tied to Map Services

• Search for data on all servers (Search metadata)

Integrate Metadata Updates into WorkflowUSING PYTHON AND ARCPY

Integrate Metadata Updates into Workflow

PART 1

• Gatekeeper for adding data to main repository

• Narrow metadata fields to our minimum standards• Title• Tags• Purpose• Abstract• Data Credits• Use Limitations• Contact Info

Integrate Metadata Updates into Workflow

PART 2

• Metadata Toolkit Python/ArcPy

• Create tool to import feature data that enforces metadata updates

• Create Python Script tool to update metadata outside of Catalog’s editing interface

• Uses Validation

• Uses XSLT: arcpy.XSLTransform_conversion

Searching for Data and Expanding Access to MetadataUSING SQL SERVER AND PYTHON

Searching and Metadata

PART 1: SQL/SDE Solutions

• Search for data on all servers

• Determine which servers a dataset is on

• Compare row counts of the same dataset on different servers/dbs

• Search metadata

• SQL Server and XPath

gdb.Documentation.value('(*/dataIdInfo/idCitation/resTitle)[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') AS Title

Metadata View

Dataset Locator View


PART 2: Python Solutions

• Map Service Inventory

• Layer Files Inventory

• Python:• os module:

• walk

• path

• arcpy package:• InsertCursor

• Mapping

• Layer

• dataSource/datasetName

• MapDocument

• ListDataFrames

• ListLayers

• dataSource/datasetName

Map Services in SQL

Layer Library Table in SQL


PART 3: Inventory

• Search Data, Layer files, and Map Services

• View Metadata

• Edit/Update Metadata

• Add data to ArcMap or AGOL

DEMO

Inventory Application

View Map Service in AGOL

Inventory Application

• Data and Services• SQL Server• ESRI

• ArcGIS Server, ArcSDE, ArcMap, AGOL, ArcPy/Python

• Backend Code• Node.js
