About the EGIS
The NJTPA has embarked upon a year-long project to centrally locate a
wealth of the data at the NJTPA. Some of the data items originate at the
NJTPA but many are generated by partner agencies. To regularize how
data items are stored, updated, and exchanged, a new enterprise-class
geospatial database has been designed. This application will assist users
in accessing, maintaining and exchanging data housed in the NJTPA
Geodatabase.
The database will help to ensure that data are current, accurate and
suitable for particular uses - by NJTPA staff, NJTPA subregions, partner
agencies and the general public. Authorized users will be able to draw
directly from the EGIS database to produce tables, maps, and conduct
their own analyses via websites and map service links.

About the Quick Reference Outline
The Quick Reference Outline serves as an at-a-glance document to orient
users with multiple resource documents and resources available in the
enterprise GIS database and the NJTPA Geoportal. The outline describes
the data inventory, how to accessing and working with the data, how to
use the Geoportal and general maintenance.
The outline provides narrative descriptions of highlighted training topic,
step-by-step directions for key tasks, and reference bookmarks for users
that desire more detail.

INTRODUCTION
The North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA) has undertaken the Enterprise
Geographic Information System database (EGIS) project, contained in the agency’s Unified
Planning Work Program (UPWP) for 2009. The goal of the project is to consolidate the agency’s
data into a single, web-enabled platform and to improve information sharing among the project
EGIS participants.
The database will help to ensure that data are current, accurate and suitable for particular uses by
participants: NJTPA staff, NJTPA subregions, partner agencies and the general public.
Authorized users will be able to draw directly from the EGIS database to produce tables, maps,
and conduct their own analyses via websites and map service links.
This manual details the following EGIS user functions: navigating the database inventory,
accessing the data, coordinating data workflow, maintaining proper metadata and verifying data
validity. Table 1 provides an overall user guide to the NJTPA EGIS.

USING EGIS DATABASE INVENTORY
The NJTPA maintains an inventory of over 250 tables (GIS layers and views) within its
Geodatabase. It also maintains map services to graphically depict these items. Some of the data
items originate at the NJTPA but many are generated by partner agencies. The EGIS Geodatabase
will serve as a mechanism to regularize how data items are stored, updated, and exchanged
through a compulsory set of data storage standards. Before a data item is checked into the
Geodatabase and made part of the official inventory, it is reviewed against NJTPA’s quality
assurance program.
The Geodatabase was developed around a relational database model. The Data Model and Data
Inventory table are available for review in Appendix U1 – EGIS ER Data Model and Appendix
U2 – EGIS Data Inventory respectively. The EGIS inventory can also be viewed on the NJTPA
Geoportal web site.
http://geoportal.njtpa.org:8080/geoportal/catalog/inventory/inventory.page
The table naming and organizational standards are presented below.
Naming Standards
•
•
Regular tables are depicted as white in the data model and begin with “t_” e.g. t_Project
Spatial layers are depicted as blue in the data model and begin with the letter “l” followed
by a second letter that denotes the NJTPA GIS data category, referred to as data
framework categories:
¾
¾
¾
¾
¾
¾
¾

¾
c = Cadastral
d = Design Plans
e = Environmental
f = Facilities
g = General
p = Planning
pb = Political Boundaries
t = Transportation
u = Utilities
e.g. lp_SE2Place
•
For table naming conventions beyond the table and layer prefixes, refer to Appendix U3
– EGIS Quality Assurance Program, Table 7.
Subject Areas
To facilitate organization of the data model and to help NJTPA manage specific areas of its
business processes, the tables are grouped into 14 sub-subject areas enumerated in Table 1.

indirect access via the internet or through.
3.1
Geodatabase Access
Direct access to the NJTPA Geodatabase is provided by NJTPA central staff in the form of a user
login account. Each account will have a specific set of permissions that determine which tables
and GIS layers are viewable and which are restricted. Restrictions are at the discretion of the data
custodian. A list of the EGIS tables, their permissions levels, and their custodians is provided in
Appendix U2 – EGIS Data Inventory. The contact information for each custodian can be found
in section 6, should a user have interest in a restricted item.

WORK FLOW
4.1
Exchange Mechanism
FTP – For year one of the EGIS project, an EGIS FTP site will be the repository for incoming
data. The FTP site is ftp://apps.NJTPA.org/egis. Login credentials to the FTP site are available
from the NJTPA. Once data items are placed on the FTP site, the NJTPA reviews them for
quality assurance based on its Quality Assurance program and subsequently places the items in its
GDB_PROD production database where it is available for use in other applications, and is added
to the EGIS Dynamic Inventory Table via the process described above. These items are than
available for public use via download.
Geodataservice – For year two of the EGIS development, participating agencies will have the
option to push their data directly from ArcCatalog into an EGIS Geodatabase, avoiding the need
to place information on an FTP site. This process entails geodatabase to geodatabase data
transfer.

Map Services
The NJTPA also distributes its data by placing a collection of data sets inside a map file and
publishes it in the form of a map services on its Geoportal web site, on the Map Services tab.
Map services can also be consumed in ArcGIS by connecting to
http://geoportal.njtpa.org/arcgis/services through the GIS Server node in ArcCatalog.
Initial map services will include:
1. Subregion Package (Land Use, Zoning, County Projects, Traffic Counts, Parcels, Trials
and other layers where available)
2. NJTPA’s Six Agency Goals
a. Accessibility (Transit Ridership with Transit layers including PATH)
b. Environmental Screening (Pollutant Tables and Various Environmental
Evaluation layers)
c. Economic Activity (Census per Capita Income, Rail Freight, Truck Corridors,
Airport Freight by Municipality and County)
d. Intermodal Connectivity (Average Travel Time to Work, Congestions Delay by
County and Roadway Network)
e. Safety and Maintenance (Roadway Network, Safety layers, Bridge
Management and Pavement Management)
f. Land Use and Transportation Systems (VMT Results, Density of Settled Land,
2000 US Census Population by County, Demographic Projections,
3. NJTPA Projects (TIP, PDWP, Strategy Evaluation/Refinement, and Confirmity)
4. Transit (NJ Transit and PANYNJ)
5. NJDEP Package
6. NJDOT Package
4.3
Exchange Schedule
EGIS data sharing participants conform to a quarterly data submission process with NJTPA. See
Appendix U5 – EGIS Data Exchange Schedule for the agency data sharing schedule.
5.
METADATA MAINTENANCE
Metadata is the responsibility of the data custodian. Before it publishes metadata to the
Geoportal, NJTPA ensures that all information complies with FGDC metadata standards. NJTPA
requests that all data items submitted to the EGIS contain proper metadata as part of any ESRI
object (GIS layers and tables). Data items submitted in other formats should contain equivalent
descriptions. Appendix U6 – Metadata Reference Guide for NJTPA Geoportal, contains a stepby step guide for creating proper metadata in ArcCatalog.

INTRODUCTION
The NJTPA Geoportal provides a public interface to the Enterprise Geographic Information
Systems (EGIS) project by allowing users to search metadata and to find out what GIS data is
available for use in the planning process. The NJTPA Geoportal will allow NJTPA staff,
subregions and other interested parties to discover what data NJTPA and other agencies have
available and how that data can be acquired.
The NJTPA Geoportal is a web browser based application that can be accessed by anyone over
the internet to search metadata that has been uploaded to the site and approved as complete by the
NJTPA Geoportal Administrator. Figure 1 Shows the Geoportal concept.
Figure 1 - ESRI® Geoportal Technology White Paper, October 2009

NJTPA GEOPORTAL SECURITY
The NJTPA Geoportal contains four levels of access (Public, Registered Users, Publishers and
Administrators). The NJTPA Geoportal allows anyone to search for metadata to find out what
data is available and who to contact to gain access to the data. The access to the data itself is
determined by the policy of the owner agency of the data. Additionally, metadata records can be
restricted so that they will not appear in search results for users other than Publisher or
Administrator level users.
Anyone can become a registered user with the NJTPA Geoportal by filling out a short form and
entering a valid email address. Registered users can save searches and validate metadata but
7/22/2010

_______________________________________________________________________
cannot publish new metadata to the Geoportal. In order to publish metadata to the NJTPA
Geoportal, a registered user must be added to the Publisher group by the NJTPA Geoportal
Administrator. Members of the Publisher group have the ability to create or upload new metadata
to the site to add it to the Administrator’s queue. Before the uploaded metadata can be seen in the
search results by other users, it must be reviewed and approved by the NJTPA Geoportal
Administrator. Table 1 below shows the matrix of user types and the privileges assigned to each
type:

Search Page
On the Search page as shown in Figure 3, there are several options for searching metadata. Most
prominently, there is a search bar where you can enter text parameters on which to search for
metadata. For example, if you entered “boundaries” into the search box, the results would include
any metadata that has the word boundaries in the title, abstract or other text fields.

_______________________________________________________________________
On the right side of the Search page, there are Search Filters defined for each Framework
Category, Legacy Category, Subject Area and NJTPA Goal. Clicking on one of these Search
Filters automatically returns all metadata items that fall into that category. This is a quick way to
find all data relevant to a particular subject or planning process.
Below the main search bar there is a drop-down for Content Type. This drop-down can be used to
filter the search results by one of several content types, including Downloadable Data, Live Map
Services, Offline Data, etc.
Just below the Content Type drop-down are links for a directed search (Search In), detailed
search (Search Criteria) and Clear. If you click the “Search In” link, a window will pop up that
allows you to choose whether you want to search the NJTPA Geoportal, ESRI’s ArcGIS Online
content, or the Geospatial One Stop GIS Portal. If you select an option besides the NJTPA
Geoportal, the search results will be formatted the same, but the content will actually be coming
from another source.
The “Search Criteria” link also opens a pop up window, which will allow the user to adjust the
search criteria by ISO data category (Administrative and Political Boundaries, Cadastral, etc) or
by date range. Also, the user can select how to sort the search results, either by relevance to the
search term, title (alphabetical), content type, date, or the area of the bounding box. The Clear
button will clear out any of the Search In or Search Criteria options you have previously selected.
The metadata search results can contain some or all of the links below the metadata title and
abstract text. These items are listed in Table

Clicking on Zoom To causes the map viewer on the Search Page to zoom to
the extents of the selected metadata record.
Also shown on the search page is a live map service that shows the geographic extents of each
search result. As you put the mouse over an item in the search results, it highlights the result text
and the corresponding bounding box in the map viewer. If you click on a search result, the item
expands and shows the metadata abstract as well as several new links such as Details, Metadata,
Zoom To, and others, based on whether it is a live web map service, downloadable data or offline
data.
The other available functions on the search page include the ability to save your search
parameters for future use (if logged in as a registered user). After entering the search parameters
and clicking the search button, click on My Saved Searches, give the search a descriptive name
and click Save. Next time, clicking on My Saved Searches will show a list of all the previously
saved searches. Clicking on a saved search will automatically enter all the search parameters that
were entered prior to saving and naming the search. This is especially useful if the user will often
be searching for similar data.
Additionally, you can save the search results as an RSS feed, which can be viewed in a RSS
Reader such as Google Reader or Apple Mail. There are several formats available to save the
RSS feeds (GEORSS, ATOM, HTML, etc), making it useful for almost every possible type of
reader application. When new metadata is added to the Geoportal that matches your search
results, the RSS feed will be immediately updated to reflect the new results. You can even open
the search results in Google Earth by clicking on the KML link.

METADATA AND XML
Creating metadata in ArcCatalog is the foundation of populating the Geoportal with
content. After a metadata item is created, an XML document is published to the
Geoportal. After it is approved, it is processed and made available on the NJTPA
Geoportal web site where it is searchable, can be previewed, and downloaded from the
Inventory tab. Quality metadata is essential for the success of the Geoportal. Please refer
to Appendix U6 - Metadata Reference Guide for NJTPA Geoportal for creating
geoportal-ready metadata items in ArcCatalog. FGDC compliant metadata is a
prerequisite for submitting data items to the NJTPA Geoportal.

INTRODUCTION
The information below describes two alternative methods of transferring data from one
geodatabase, such as an NJTPA sub-region geodatabase, to another geodatabase, such as an
NJTPA EGIS geodatadatabase like GDB_STAGE.
1.1
Replication – The process of transferring data from a source geodatabase to a
destination geodatabase where the source is the parent and the destination is the child.
The child replica is dependent on the parent replica through synchronization.
Replication is a good strategy for scheduled data transfer. Data replication offers the
benefit of data transfer automation, in relation to other methods such as FTP transfer.
1.2
Extraction – The one-time process of transferring data from one geodatabase to another,
akin to copy and paste. Extraction enables one-time downloading of data through
ArcMap into a personal geodatabase format from a map/geodata service.
These processes can overlap, be used in conjunction with each other, or be used separate of each
other, depending on the data transfer requirements. Both processes are implemented by
publishing a geodata service in the ESRI ArcGIS Server software.
Some of the differences between Replication and Extraction are highlighted in Table 1.

This document describes 1) the two data transfer methods and 2) data replication automation.
The document presents generic data transfer alternatives. Implementation will require close
collaboration with EGIS partner agencies to select a specific process. However, NJTPA can
implement data extraction as a way to provide an additional data download option to EGIS
partner agencies and the public.

DATA REPLICATION AND EXTRACTION STEPS
Data replication and extraction occurs in two phases 1) publishing a geodata service by a host
source e.g. NJTPA EGIS partner agency and 2) consuming the geodata service at a destination
location e.g. NJTPA or through a web browser in conjunction with ArcMap. Figure 1 presents a
sample work-flow where a sub region publishes a geodata service to be consumed by NJTPA.
This example uses the ArcGIS Server Manager as the tool to illustrate how to create a geodata
service. ArcCatalog can also be used.
Figure 1 - Sample Data Transfer Work-flow
2.1
Publish Geodata Service
The following steps make data available for replication into an EGIS Geodatabase and for
extraction into a personal geodatabase. These steps are carried out by the organization that is
hosting the data to be replicated or extracted. Note that creating a geodata service with a map
service is the preferred method.
2.1.1 Prepare data for replication and or extraction (ArcCatalog)
Replication:

Extraction
_______________________________________________________________________
Connect to a data source with a user account that has write permissions
Register the data set(s) to be replicated as versioned
Make sure the data sets(s) to be replicated are versioned without the option to
move edits to base
Each data set must have a GlobalID column
All spatial data must be stored in high precision
Extraction:
No preparation is required for data extraction
2.1.2 Create map file of data to be replicated or extracted (ArcMap)
Consider the intended beneficiary of the data that is being prepared for
consumption.
Add the data items that were prepared in step 2.1.1 to an ArcMap session
Save the map file (*.mxd) where it can be accessed by ArcGIS Server
2.1.3 Publish map service (ArcGIS Server)
Log into ArcGIS Server Manager and select the Services tab on the left
Choose ‘Publish a GIS Resource’ at the top of the page
Choose the mxd file created in step 2.1.2 as the basis for the GIS map
resource
In the next page, click the Geodata capability to associate the map service
with a geodata service. This steps points the map file to a data source, in the
form of a geodata service and enables a user to access the data content via the
service. This step, by default, enables data extraction through the map
service in ArcMap.
In the services list, the map service is now coupled with a geodata service. These services work
together, but can also be utilized independently. The map service can be published to the NJTPA
Ggeoportal. When a user opens this map service in ArcMap, the service can be downloaded in a
personal geodatabase format.
2.1.4 Add Replication capability to the geodata service
To enable data replication, one additional step is necessary.
In the Manage Resources page, edit the geodata service created in step 2.1.3
Select the Capabilities tab and click the Replication option at the bottom of
the page

Extraction
_______________________________________________________________________
Note that the Extraction capability is enabled by default when the geodata service is created while
the replication needs to be added proactively.
2.2
Consume Geodata Service
This document describes two ways to consume the geodata service.
1.
Data Replication
The following steps allow NJTPA to transfer the remote data eligible for replication to an EGIS
geodatabase. This can be achieved in several ways. The sample process below executes the data
transfer in ArcMap. The same process can be carried using the ‘Crate Replica From Server’
procedure in the Distributed Geodatabase tool kit in ArcCatalog. The option to implement data
replication automatically is described in Section 3.
2.2.1 Connect to the remote data source
In ArcCatalog, navigate to the GIS Servers node
Double-click on the Add ArcGIS Server sub node and select Use GIS
Services
In the next dialogue box, select Internet and enter the Server URL address of
the remote data source (provided by EGIS partner agency)
The map service and geodata service generated in step 2.1 is now exposed
2.2.2 Add map service to ArcMap
Open ArcMap and add the map service generated in 2.1 to the session
2.2.3 Run Data Replication Wizard
In the ArcMap session, add the Distributed Geodatabase tool set to the map
session
Select the first tool, ‘Create Replica Wizard’ using the parameters in 2.2.4
2.2.4 Select the following data replication parameters
Replica Type: One way replica. Note that if synchronization is to
be used, select two way.
What do you want to replicate: Data
Geodatabase to replicate to: GDB_STAGE
Replica Name: <DataSource_Date_DataSetName>
7/22/2010

Extraction
_______________________________________________________________________
In the final page, select No further action
Data replicas are managed in ArcCatalog by right-clicking on the geodatbase where replicas exist,
and selecting Distributed Geodatabase/Manage Replicas. When a replica has been created, the
replica name is inserted into the replica manager in both the parent and the child geodatabases.
The details of the manual data replication process are summarized in Figure 2.
After the replica has been created, the data can be updated in the child by using the
synchronization tool in the Distributed Geodatabase tool set. If a one-time data replication
instance is required, the data replicas in both the parent and child geodatabases must be deleted in
the Data Replication Manager. Initial coordination with the parent EGIS partner organization is
essential for replication success.

Data Extraction
Data extraction requires less preparation time and is generally useful for generic purposes, like
enabling data copying from map services. Any map service that is coupled with a geodataservice
can be used for download in ArcMap. Map services can be added into an ArcMap session from
several locations.
http://geoportal.njtpa.org/ArcGIS/rest/services/MapServices
http://geoportal.njtpa.org:8080/geoportal/catalog/main/home.page (Map Services)
ArcCatalog\GIS Servers\ http://geoportal.njtpa.org/arcgis/services
Once the map services is added to ArcMap, select the Extract Data tool from the Distributed Data
tool set and select a destination for your personal geodatabase. After the download process, the
personal geodatabase will contain the items in the map services.
3.
DATA REPLICATION AUTOMATION
As an alternative to Section 2.2, data replication can also be scheduled to run using the Windows
Task Scheduler. In this process, a task is scheduled in the Task Scheduler to run a Python script.
This script executes the same data replication steps as in the Create Replica From Server tool in
ArcCatalog.
One scheduled job created in the Task Scheduler corresponds to one map / geodata service to be
replicated. For example, if Warren County has built a geodata service to replicate parcels and
projects per quarter, one job in Windows Scheduler needs to be created to execute the data
transfer. If synchronization is the desired update method, a script can be built based on the
synchronization tool.
3.1
Deploy Python Script
A Python script can be created from an ArcGIS model, which in turn can used to automate the
data replication process. The sample python script NJTPA_Replication.py can be used as a
starting point for future automated data replications.
The scripts can be placed and run from any location where it has access to ArcCatalog and the
geodatabase connections within it. To edit the script, right-click on the file and choose ‘Edit with
IDLE’. Figure 3 shows the Python Shell and the sample script. This script automates the Create
Replication From Server steps.

<DataSource_Date_DataSetName >
These are the data items that are contained in the
geodata service created in 2.1 above, and are eligible
for replication. These items can also be previewed
in ArcMap using the map service. In practice, these
items will be coordinated with the partner EGIS
agency. These items will be entered into the script
using the same names as the source data set and are
separated by a semicolon.
Windows Task Scheduler
The python script(s) can be run on a scheduled basis. They can also be executed manually within
Python through the Python Shell. The steps below describe how to run one or more data
replication scripts.

INTERAGENCY WORK-FLOW
Transferring data between two agencies requires a coordinated effort with an EGIS partner
agency. Data replication should be viewed as a cycle and each step requires planning. Figure 5
depicts the high-level decisions to be addressed at the planning stage of the data transfer process.
Figure 5 - Data Transfer Decision Path
The geodata service can be updated and refreshed indefinitely and thus reduce the number of
steps required to transfer data from a remote location to an EGIS geodatabase.

4.4 – ArcGIS Clip Model
Prepared for:
Prepared by:
AECOM USA Inc.
April 29, 2010
The information below describes the ArcGIS models built to clip any GIS features based on two features
(NJTPA region and NJTPA Counties). To use the model, copy the files into a desirable folder where they
can be accessed by ArcCatalog.
1. NJTPA Clip Model (NJTPA_ClipModel.tbx) contains two models: County_ClipModel_GDB_PROD
and NJTPA_ClipModel_GDB_PROD. A generic clip model is also provided.
I.
Model Environment & Geoprocessing Features
a. Created in ArcGIS 9.3.1 environment using ArcGIS Model Builder
b. Geoprocessing Features:
i. Selection Tool: Selects NJTPA border from Regional MPO Borders (Database
Connections\to GDB_PROD.sde\GDB_PROD.EGIS_ADMIN.lpb_MPO)
ii. Clip Tool: Clips user-specified input to NJTPA border (Using selection from
section 1.b.i.)
1. Output: User-specified feature class
II. Model Procedure
a. Open NJTPA_ClipModel
b. Input Features: Enter user-specified file into Model (e.g. New Jersey Statewide Census
Tracts)
i. Feature to be Clipped
c. Output Feature Class: Enter user-specified output geodatabase and feature class data.
III. Model Stipulations:
a. Input features are scripted to automatically clip to NJTPA border
b. Imbedded within the clip tool is a selection procedure. The selection procedure references
“Database Connections\to GDB_PROD.sde\GDB_PROD.EGIS_ADMIN.lpb_MPO” (see
1.b.i.). If the database connection does not match gdb_prod.sde, then user must manually
edit the selection procedure.
c. Output Feature Class must be feature class within a Geodatabase
i. Provided geodatabase within “\models” folder (EGIS_Models.mdb)
2. County Clip Model (County_ClipModel) clips a user-specified input file to a user-specified New
Jersey County (e.g. New Jersey Schools to Morris County Border Æ Morris County Schools)
Note: The County_Clip model needs to generate temporary files to a personal geodatabase. These files
will be generated within the personal geodatabase delivered as a part of this tool kit. To ensure that the
files are generated correctly, you need to map the location of the personal geodatabase in the model itself.
To do this, follow the instructions below:
1. Right-click on the Count_ClipModel and select edit
2. Double-click on the temp circle
3. In the temp path, insert the file path of the location of the EGIS_Models.mdb personal
geodatabase
The instructions to the use the model are as follows.
I.
b. Geoprocessing:
i. Select Tool: Selects user-specified County from NJ Counties (Database
Connections\to GDB_PROD.sde\GDB_PROD.EGIS_ADMIN.lpb_County)
ii. Clip Tool: Clips user-specified input to Selected County (Using selection from
section 1.b.i.)
II. Model Procedure
a. Open County_ClipModel
b. Input Features: Enter user-specified input file into Model (e.g. New Jersey Schools)
c. Specify “Which County?”: Using SQL expression, specify which county to clip input
features
d. Clip Features: Enter user-specified output geodatabase and feature class data
a. When specifying which County to clip to, you must enter the expression using SQL
syntax. Use the ArcGIS expression builder for an intuitive process (e.g. COUNTY =
'BERGEN'). If clipping to two or more counties, use the OR logical separater (e.g.
COUNTY = 'BERGEN' OR COUNTY = 'ESSEX').
b. Imbedded within the clip tool is a selection procedure. The selection procedure references
“Database Connections\to GDB_PROD.sde\GDB_PROD.EGIS_ADMIN.lpb_County”
(see 1.b.i.). If the database connection does not match gdb_prod.sde, then user must
manually edit the selection procedure.
c. Output Feature Class must be feature class within Geodatabase
Generic Clip Model (Generic_ClipModel) clips a user-specified input file to a user-specified clip feature
(e.g. Survey Respondents to NJTransit Bus Station Buffer Æ Survey Respondents within NJTransit
Bus Station Buffer)
I.
b. Geoprocessing:
i. Clip Tool: Clips user-specified input to user-specified clip feature
II. Model Procedure
a. Open Generic_ClipModel
b. Input Features: Enter user-specified input file into Model (e.g. NJTPA Census Tracts)
i. Feature to be Clipped
c. Clip Features: Enter user-specified clip file into Model (e.g. Bergen County Border).
Feature
i. Feature used to Clip
d. Output Feature Class: Enter user-specified output geodatabase and feature class data.
a. Output Feature Class must be feature class within a Geodatabase

About the Appendices
The appendices provide more background information for the items
contained in the EGIS and how the system was conceptualized. The
appendices are comprised of the Data Model, Data Inventory, Quality
Assurance Program and Metadata Reference Guide for the NJTPA
Geoportal. The Data Model is a diagram of the how the tables and GIS
layers relate in the database. The Data Inventory is a list of all the items in
the database. The Quality Assurance Program describes the standards
and guidelines all users need to abide. The Metadata Reference Guide
for the NJTPA Geoportal describe each item in the database is
documented and cataloged.

INTRODUCTION
The North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA) has undertaken the Enterprise
Geographic Information System database (EGIS) project, contained in the agency’s Unified
Planning Work Program (UPWP) for 2009. The goal of the project is to consolidate the agency’s
data into a single, web-enabled platform and to improve information sharing among the project
EGIS participants. The document System Requirements, developed in Task 1, details the overall
design and strategy of the EGIS. This document summarizes the EGIS’s policy, technology, and
operating standards and describes its overall quality assurance and data management programs.
2.
GOVERNANCE AND POLICY
Governance
The NJTPA EGIS is governed and overseen by a data management team referred to as the NJTPA
Data Management Group (NJTPA-DMG). The NJTPA-DMG sets and enforces policies, guides
decision-making related to technology, and oversees the agencies Quality Assurance, Data
Inventory, and Data Exchange programs. At its core, the EGIS is a network of people, data, and
technology resources. The NJTPA-DMG mission is to ensure that these resources are used to
best serve the transportation goals of the region.
Policy
The NJTPA-DMG has implemented a set of comprehensive, high-level policies that serve to
guide the overall administration of the NJTPA’s EGIS.
•
•
•
•
3.
Commitment to a creating a framework for the open exchange of GIS and other digital
products
Commitment to providing user-friendly and internet-based public access to GIS and other
digital products
Commitment to the use of state-of-the-art data management tools to support data
development and data exchange programs
Enforcement of a Quality Assurance program to establish trust in the data products
published by NJTPA
TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS
Implementation of the EGIS, as a data sharing network, relies on several technology components.
Data exchange standards among and within NJTPA partner agencies requires a basic
understanding of the hardware and software platforms used to build the EGIS. These components
make up the EGIS infrastructure and are part of the overall EGIS standards.

Hardware and Software Standards
The EGIS is built, operated, and maintained using an array of IT components. These components
can be divided into three groups; 1) Server-Side: Database and Application, 2) Server-Side:
Application, and 3) Client-Side: Application. These components are supported by NJTPA’s local
area network which consists of a Citrix – IP Centrex/Primary ISP run on a 50 mb per second
back-bone. Figure 1 depicts the overall EGIS hardware configuration.

Geodatabases Standards
The EGIS is implemented through an ESRI ArcSDE geodatbase platform to support the
development and distribution of quality data sets. A geodatabase is a database that has been
spatially enabled through the ArcSDE software. For further detail related to its design, refer to
EGIS documents 3.1 and 3.2. The contents of the EGIS geodatabases are made available through
other ESRI software components, such as ArgGIS and ArcGIS Server. Together, these
components make up the EGIS data-flow, available for use by EGIS participants. The data flow
process for GIS oriented data is depicted in Figure 2.
Figure 2 - EGIS Data-Flow Process
The geodabase is the cornerstone of the EGIS. A series of standards have been developed to
govern its use and associated data distribution. These standards serve to guide all aspects of data
development, submission, storage, and distribution. These standards, in their aggregate, are one
part of the overall EGIS Quality Assurance Program. The program is based on a work-flow that
develops spatial and non-spatial data through four stages. Each stage represents one physical
geodatabase. Data sets are progressively developed and reviewed before they are checked into
subsequent geodatabases. Figure 3 depicts the sequence of the geodatabase as data is developed
through each stage.
Figure 3 - EGIS Geodatabase Sequence
Table 4 describes the four geodatabases at the physical database level.

Purpose
Development database that contains ArcSDE GIS layers
and other data items that are in development and subject
to a QA/QC process before they are checked into the
GDB_STAGE database. This database is used to initiate
datasets, develop their overall structure, and populate the
structure with record values.
Staging database that contains ArcSDE GIS layers and
other data items. These items can come from the
GDB_DEV database or potentially from other agencies.
All data items in this geodatabsae are subject to NJTPADMG quality assurance guidelines. After the items are
in conformance with the quality assurance program, they
can be placed in the GDB_PROD database.
Production database that contains the active, day-to-day
ArcSDE GIS layers and non-GIS database items. These
items have been reviewed by the NJTPA_DMG group
and its quality assurance program. No GIS editing will
occur in this database; standard SQL data transactions
on business tables will occur in this database.
Database that stores time-stamped, ArcSDE GIS layers.
These items come from the GDB_PROD database.
Geodatabases that will participate in a distributed data
replication process, between NJTPA and other
participants. Note that the databases that will be set up
for replication do not currently have the requisite details
needed to support the replication process.
Quality Assurance
As data is developed through the four geodatabases, standards are imposed on each item to ensure
quality and conformace with the underlying technology. The process should begin at the
GDB_DEV stage, but is essential at the GDB_STAGE level. Table 5 describes the quality
assurance items for which EGIS data sets will be subject to during the data development process.

Description
Each layer must have a custodian and a
sponsoring department.
Each layer must contain a proper spatial
reference.
Refer to the document EGIS – Logical
Geodatabase Design for a an explanation of
layer naming conventions and Table 6 for SQL
Server 2008 and ArcSDE Table Naming
Conventions
Spatial indexes improve the efficiency of data
queries and retrieval
Meta data, to varying degrees, should be
maintained for all EGIS data objects. Meta is
catalogued in two places.
1. In ArcCatalog where it is stored in the SQL
Server Geoportal931 database and
available for wider use through the
Geoportal web application
2. In the NJTPA Data Management
application (Data Dictionary / Adaptive
Data Inventory Template) where it is
stored in the t_DataItems and
t_SubjectArea tables.
3. NJTPA follows all FGDC and ISO
standards related to information about the
data sets for which it owns and is
responsible.
NJTPA has established a Database Group
whose tasks consists of, among other task,
running through the agencies Quality
Assurance Program check-list, before data is
checked into the GDB_PROD geodatabase
These fields enable NJTPA staff to track the
changes of an ArcSDE layer.
Generally, layers and tables for which NJTPA
is not the custodian, the layer/table schema will
be established by the custodian agency. For
layers/tables where NJTPA is the custodian,
table definitions should be observed. Note that
some tables or layers could be considered
hybrid, in the sense that NJTPA has taken data

Each layer, where possible,
should contain County and
MPO fields with values.
• Join fields must be consistent to
maintain the integrity of
underlying views and
relationship classes.
Each layer must be aggregated, at a
minimum, up to the regional level.
Layers aggregated at the municipality
and county level should be avoided.
from an outside source, and redesigned the
schema to facilitate data storage.
Layers, if possible, should be entered into the
EGIS as complete regional data sets. One
notable exception is county-level cadastral data
sets, denoted by lc_County.
The data items themselves are stored in the GDB_PROD geodatabase according to Framework
Categories, depicted in Table 6.

_______________________________________________________________________
Data items are also subject to a set of nomenclature standards. Table 7 provides a list of
guidelines to consider when naming database tables and GIS layers.
Table 7 - SQL Server 2008 and ArcSDE Table Naming Conventions
#
1
2
3
Convention
Table names should, as clearly as
possible, describe the data
contained in the table, keeping in
mind the 32 character limitation for
SQL Server database object names.
Words in table names should
follow three basic conventions:
• Base tables should be
separated by a capital with
no spaces or underscores.
•
Join tables should be
capitalized, and separated
with underscores
•
Where two capitalized
words meet, they can be
separated by underscores
Table names should avoid the use
of abbreviations.
Example
•
le_UrbanArea
•
t_PR_FACILITY_RAILLINE
•
t_HH_PUD
Exceptions include:
• CMS: Congestion Management
System
•
SLD: Straight Line Diagram
•
SMS: Safety Management
System
•
4
5
Names of database objects (tables,
feature classes, etc.) should be
singular.
Only use words like
‘BOUNDARY, ‘ZONE’, ‘LINE’,
‘POINT’ when they are necessary
to clarify the data contained by the
table. Logical, non-technical
7/22/2010
8
_______________________________________________________________________
descriptors are preferred over
technical jargon that may make
sense to technical staff only.
6 Column names should be singular
where possible. Avoid using dates
• lt_BusLine_12282009
or years as part of the table name in
a production database. Historical
data sets, with their time-stamped
suffix, should be stored in the
GDB_HIST geodatabase. This
process, in effect, represents
NJTPA’s change management
system.
7 In general, the first word in the
table’s name should reflect the data
• Streams_MOA instead of
content while additional words will
MOA_Stream
refine the description. This makes
it easier for users to find data that is
• BuildingMyNeighborhood
most often listed alphabetically or
instead of
when using search engines.
MyNeighborhoodBuilding

Data Management
Data management is a fundamental part of the EGIS. In addition to the underlying ArcSDE and
ArcGIS Server software platforms, the management of NJTPA’s data resources is supported
through two external facing environments.
Data Inventory
The EGIS contains a dynamic data inventory process, maintained within the Geoportal931 SQL
Server database and on the NJTPA Geoportal site on the Inventory page. The process consists of
SQL Server and .NET tools. Figure 4 depicts the data inventory process.

The Data Inventory process starts with ArcCatalog where XML files are created that contain
information about each EGIS data object. These xml files are than published to the Geoportal
where they are processed and placed within the Geoportal/Inventory web page and made
available for download to the public.
Geoportal
The NJTPA Geoportal provides a public interface to the EGIS by allowing users to search the
agencies metadata (data about data). The Geoportal will allow NJTPA staff, subregions, state
agencies, MPO’s and the public to discover what data NJTPA and other agencies have available
and how that data can be acquired. The Geoportal is a web browser based application that can be
accessed by anyone over the internet to search metadata that has been uploaded to the site and
approved as complete by the NJTPA Geoportal Administrator. In this way, the NJTPA Geoportal
site is key component of the agencies overall data management and quality assurance program.
Figure 5 present the home-page of the Geoportal. For a full discussion of the NJTPA’s
Geoportal, refer to the EGIS Admin and User manuals.

INTERAGENCY STANDARDS
The EGIS is a data repository for spatial and non-spatial data. Exchanging data in and out of the
repository is also subject to a series of standards. Table 8 summarizes the access and exchange
methods available to EGIS participating agencies.

Appendix U6:
Metadata Reference Guide for NJTPA Geoportal
This document serves as a guide for creating and updating metadata so that it can be uploaded to the
NJTPA Geoportal. The layout of the document takes you through the ArcCatalog metadata editor
screens tab by tab, and describes the minimum fields that are required and validated by the NJTPA
Geoportal. The pages below start from the Identification menu at the top-left and work from left to right
in the Metadata Editor through the Metadata Reference menu at top-right. If you populate all of the
fields listed in the document below with valid metadata, then export the metadata in the “FGDC CSDGM
(XML)” format, you will be able to upload the XML file to the NJTPA Geoportal without errors.
Additionally, if the Theme Keywords are populated correctly, the search functions on the NJTPA
Geoportal for NJTPA Framework Categories, Subject Areas, Legacy Categories and NJTPA Goals will work
properly.
Each ArcCatalog Metadata Editor screen has a separate page below. The heading at the top of the page
gives the navigation instructions within ArcCatalog. For example, to get to the Bounding Coordinates
page, you would first select the “Identification” menu at the top of the ArcCatalog Metadata Editor, then
select the “Spatial Domain” tab, then the “Bounding Coordinates and G-Polygon” sub-tab. This string of
actions is depicted with the following text at the top of the page:
Identification→ Spatial Domain→ Bounding Coordinates and G-Polygon
Once you have finished populating all required metadata fields, click the Save button in the metadata
editor to save your changes. Next, click the Export Metadata button, select FGDC CSDGM (XML) and give
the file a unique name (ie- MPOBoundaries.xml). Finally, log into the NJTPA Geoportal as a Publisher and
use the upload function to upload the XML file.
