Local Government Street a subset of Road Centerline?

[RobertWright1]

In the Local Government Data Model, The Street  feature class (in Facilities Street data set)  is supposed to be a subset of the RoadCenterline Feature class (in the Reference data set).  In our organization these two files are maintained by two different departments.  How do you enable a relationship between two different datasets at the feature class level, so that the features participating are managed together.  Maybe I am not understanding what a Subset is.  As I was under the impression that a relationship couldn't work between two different datasets. 

How are other Organizations making this relationship (subset) work, without having to copy data from one to the other? 

Are organizations using a replication by a query definition?

Ideas welcome.

Thanks,

The ArcGIS for Local Government solutions assume the Road Centerline and Streets layers are not managed by the same entities in your organization.  The Road Centerlines will probably be managed by a Planning or Public Safety (maybe GIS) entity in your organization and will include very named road that has an address assigned to it.  The Streets layer will be managed by Public Works and only include public streets they are responsible for managing.  As a result, there isn't a physical geodatabase and we manage the physical coincidence of the road layers in the Road Network Management solution. You'll see more details in the Workflows.  You may also want to watch the video from the meetup we did in 2014 on the Public Works solutions.  We cover the Road Network Management map in detail during that meetup.

Thank you Scott, for your helpful explanation. I will look for the video on the 2014 meetup, and at the link that you have shared.
