Enterprise Workflows

An enterprise cartographic map production system provides a well-designed database for the creation of multiple products at multiple scales. ArcGIS data models and workflow processes support this environment.

The enterprise geodatabase is referred to as a digital landscape model (DLM). It supports geoprocessing, generalization, and scenarios for automating tedious modeling tasks that are performed on the feature geometry. It preserves the digital model of the real world.

Enterprise (DLM) Model

The derived product database is referred to as the digital cartographic model (DCM). It allows you to adapt the visualization of the real world to fit the purpose of the map product you are creating. Its rich framework is designed to optimize and facilitate production workflows.
