An Enterprise GIS is a collection of geographic informa- tion, GIS applications, and business processes built upon a common framework to support collaborative decision- making across divisions and among management, staff, and consultants. Geographic features are depictions of natural or manmade elements that occupy a specific location. Examples include a runway, building, river, or underground pipe. Geospatial features or a particular type (i.e., all runways) are often referred to as a feature type, data set, or layer of spatial data. Geographic information is data that depict geographic features on a map, drawing, or photo. It includes hard copy and electric engineering drawings, maps, aerial imagery, and survey data. Metadata are information about the data themselves such as source, accuracy, dates for which the data are valid, and security classification. Metadata are essential in help- ing users determine the extent to which they can rely on a given datum to make decisions. Profile is an extension or adaptation of a standard to meet a specific industryâs requirements. Subsurface utilities engineering is a branch of engineering practice that involves managing certain risks associated with utility mapping at appropriate quality levels, utility coordination, utility relocation design and coordination, utility condition assessment, communication of utility data to concerned parties, utility relocation cost estimates, implementation of utility accommodation policies, and utility design (ASCE 2002).
