Growing spatial data holdings quickly become unmanageable without a deliberate data management system; this course builds that system from geodatabase design through to long-term archiving. Participants design a complete geospatial data management plan during the course.
As organisations accumulate spatial datasets across projects and years, poor data management quietly turns valuable data into an unreliable, duplicated mess. This course builds a complete geospatial data management practice, covering enterprise geodatabase design and schema planning, version control approaches for collaborative spatial data editing, and quality assurance procedures that catch errors before they propagate downstream.
Participants also cover data lifecycle management - from creation and active use through to archiving and eventual disposal - and build a data management plan covering naming conventions, backup strategy, and access control suited to their own organisation's spatial data holdings.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Day 1: Foundations of Geospatial Data Management
Day 2: Designing an Enterprise Geodatabase Schema
Day 3: Naming Conventions and Folder Structures
Day 4: Version Control for Collaborative Editing
Day 5: Quality Assurance Procedures
Day 6: Access Control and Data Sensitivity
Day 7: Data Lifecycle Planning
Day 8: Backup and Disaster Recovery
Day 9: Governance and Organizational Adoption
Day 10: Producing a Complete Data Management Plan
This course is for organizations whose spatial data holdings have outgrown ad hoc file storage and need a deliberate management system.
Participants who complete the ten days receive a Certificate of Completion from Vision Reach Global Consultancy, confirming their ability to design and implement a complete geospatial data management system.
