Extensive Data Use and Management |
|
ArcView makes it easy to integrate all types of data for visualization, mapping, query, and analysis. A number of tools are also included in ArcView to manage, create, and organize geographic data, tabular data, and metadata. |
| Data Format Support |
|
ArcView supports a wide variety of GIS data, CAD data and other data formats for direct read as well as data import and export.
- Direct read of vector data including shapefiles, coverages, VPF, and CAD (DXF, DWG, DGN)
- Direct read of rasters (images) including ESRI GRID, ERDAS IMAGINE, BMP, IMG, GIF, JPEG 2000, NITF, MrSID, and TIFF
- Direct read of other data including TIN, DBF, TXT, INFO, and ODBC
- Export from image/raster to MrSID, GRID, IMAGINE, and TIFF
- Export from shapefiles to AGF, DXF, and the geodatabase

| Geocode Addresses and Locations |
|
ArcView provides a rich set of tools for matching addresses to geographic locations as well as displaying data with specified coordinates. You can build indexes on your street data or use preexisting indexes and data to find addresses.
- Single or batch address geocoding
- Reject processing of unmatched address records
- Client/Server database support for geocoding on the server
- Creation of multiple geocoding services (indexes) per data source
- Display and finding of dynamic segmentation events (point, linear, continuous)
- Display and finding of tables of xy point locations

| Metadata |
ArcView allows you to easily create, edit, view, and search metadata. Metadata allows you to fully document the history and processes involved behind your data sources as well as information such as the author, available attribute fields, date last updated, extent, or keywords.

| Tabular Attribute Data |
|
ArcView allows you to integrate and create tabular data as well as geographic data. Tabular data is typically data attributes that can be used as independent tables or joined to other tables or geographic features to add information to the data. These tables can come from almost any data type (using OLE DB) and can be simple tables in a file or complex queries to an enterprise database. Using these attribute tables, you can easily derive new data and create charts and reports on the data.
- Perform on-the-fly dynamic joins of attributes between different databases
- Create and use many-to-one and one-to-many relationships
- Interactively edit table records
- Calculate values based on expression
- Calculate statistics on attribute values
- Create charts and reports based on tabular attributes
- Sort tables by multiple attributes
- Summarize data based on values to new datasets
- Connect to and use remote database data
