Our water/wastewater (municipal) utility does not share infrastructure information by making services/apps public.
However, we regularly share area-specific subsets (copies) of GN data with engineering consulting firms and other stakeholders. Occasionally, we share system-wide copies of the water or wastewater GN data. When we share, we always provide a standard set of shapefiles and feature classes in a file geodatabase.
How are your organizations handling infrastructure data deliveries using the Utility Network schema? (FileGDB with layer files to support symbols/rendering? other?).
I believe the more hierarchical schema of the UN - built around symbolizing with subtype group layers - asset group/asset type, etc. will be more challenging for users than a simple feature class of water system valves, for example. UN v7, with a 64 bit ObjectID may be an issue for shapefile deliveries for some.
Any thoughts/advice appreciated. Thanks.
