Previously created Metadata is automatically linked to these files , and is <br /> referenced with a click of the Metadata button . Metadata that has not been previously <br /> created can either be imported or created in one of many formats chosen by the user . <br /> These types will be explained in detail in this section . <br /> Data Access in ArcCataloa <br /> The Catalog is where users can assemble connections to data sources . When a connection <br /> is selected, the user accesses the data to which the file is linked . The connection might <br /> access a folder on a local disk, a database on the network, or an ArcIMS Internet server. <br /> Together, the connections create a catalog of geographic data sources . Once the <br /> desirable data has been found , the preview and metadata tabs can be clicked to show a <br /> view of the data , as well as the metadata describing the file . <br /> Creating and accessing geodatabases <br /> To manage a spatial database, users can create a personal geodafabase, which stores <br /> data in Microsoft Access format. For an enterprise geodafabase, ArcSDE lets many people <br /> in an organization update data stored in a centrally located RDBMS . <br /> Data Organization in ArcCatapg <br /> ArcCatolog manages maps and geographic data in a similar style as Windows Explorer. All <br />- standard Windows shortcuts and drag /drop techniques for copying , moving , renaming , or <br /> deleting items work in ArcCafalog . These features make if easy to organize not only data <br /> sources on disk ( such as coverages and shapefiles) , but data stored in databases as well . <br /> The user can copy or move database connections and coordinate systems from those <br /> folders in the Catalog to any other folder in any location ; for example , SDE geodafabase <br /> connections and custom coordinate systems can be placed in a shared folder on the <br /> network where everyone in the organization can access them . <br /> 6- 18 <br /> GIS Needs Assessment and Implementation Plan Chapter 6 - Data Standards and Transfer <br />
