Geodatabase Modeling and Design SIG and survey @ 2011 Int'l UC

[danan]

If you're going to the UC this week, please consider attending the GDB Modeling and Design SIG (new this year) on Wed 7/13 from 12 to 1pm in room 29C. Even if you're not attending, please fill out the associated survey (its focus is on user requirements for a geodatabase modeling and design tool).

http://events.esri.com/uc/2011/infoWeb/OnlineAgenda/?fa=ofg_details_form&ScheduleID=2755
"This Special Interest Group will discuss available and forthcoming GDB design tools, patterns, and emerging  issues. The group will provide participants with an opportunity to communicate their  database design and modeling requirements to Esri staff who will be present."

The Geodatabase Modeling and Design SIG survey will remain open only until August 31st, 2011. So far, 63 have taken it. I hope to post a summary of survey results in September. And some meeting minutes from the SIG event in the next few weeks.

The geodatabase modeling and design requirements survey closes tomorrow (Wed) August 31st at 11:59pm Eastern US time. Thanks to those who've already participated. It's a user-driven survey I helped create in support of the Geodatabase Modeling and Design Special Interest Group (SIG) for Esri's 2011 International User Conference.

I'd love to see more International representation. Most responses are from the US. Qualitative answers (text entries) are more valuable than quantitative ones (check boxes, etc). Please mention specific use cases and anything that would help in your daily work. Skip whatever isn't relevant. The survey isn't just for experts. It's for anyone who designs geodatabases. Of particular interest to me in designing the survey was integration of Enterprise GDB Design with Relational Database Design and the rest of Enterprise IT.

A summary of survey results will be posted to my blog, http://SpatialDba.com, by October 31st.
