Introduction

Spatial enabling business information provides the ability to display and query spatial and non-spatial data in a Geographic Information System (GIS) using map based user interfaces. The PPDM Spatial projects have developed a methodology to link the PPDM relational database with the spatial functionality of today's GIS engines and create tight integration between the spatial data in the GIS and the relational data in PPDM.

Linking relational data from the PPDM data model with a GIS gives a geoscientist the ability to display PPDM business objects on a map quickly and efficiently, and to retrieve information about business objects in a specified area. These business objects may be wells, well tests, land parcels, facilities, seismic lines, etc. A map-based browser can be used to navigate into a specified area and display business objects and their attribute information.

Major deliverables include a methodology to create geometry information for all spatial business objects in a PPDM database as well as sample scripts to create the geometries, a series of recommendations for how to integrate spatial data with existing data management processes and sample data in a variety of formats.
