ArcGIS 10.0 File Geodatabase – RELATES

There are 12 relates, 4 relates per PCD feature class

Each relate establishes a connection between the PCD points, lines, and polygon feature classes to the 4 PCD tables.

EOs are a product, updated from content within the PCD

Are there more you need to have updated?

Added almost 10,000 additional animal observations since February, almost 12,500 in the last year.

What is new for Observations

Sent as a feature class in current export

Minimal attributes, just over 400 observations

[EO_ID ] = unique identifier for plant EOs in our database system (different than EO #)

[EO_Num] (EO #) = unique identifier for that plant species. These numbers will remain the same through time. Are assigned to an occurrence when created and can only change if it merges with another or is dropped.

Field [OldEO_ID] in 2012 exports was previously EO_ID prior to January 2012. (assigned in a previous and obsolete database system)

Tip: Fields EO_ID and EO_NUM Plant EOs

TIP: view PCD related records in GIS

IdentifyThrough the attribute table

TIP: Plant EO, PDF files

0

One PDF per Plant EOProvides additional

information not in the GIS attribute tables

Hyperlink to GIS for ease in opening files (calculate HOT_LINK field to local location)

PDF file name contains the EO_ID

Example EO update – original mapping- Mirabilis macfarlanei , EO 002

Example EO update – new data Mirabilis macfarlanei , EO 002

Example EO update – new EO boundaryMirabilis macfarlanei , EO 002

TIP: [EO_ID] tie from PCD to EOs[EO_ID] is within the PCD, point, line, and

polygon FC.Can join to the EO FC to see which sources

are incorporated.

Caveat to [EO_ID] tieNot all PCD features will have a tie to EO_ID at this time

Observations to create EOs within the Biotics system are not within PCD.

Not all EOs have been updated based on the observations within PCD.
