Remarks

  1. The most appropriate dataset to use for EGIS would be from ESRI REST service as it does not require periodic updates.

Process for EGIS integration

ESRI REST:

  1. ESRI REST can be integrated directly into EGIS.

  2. Filter Sector=Oil and Gas from the Excel spreadsheet to extract Major Oil and Gas Projects.

TC Smart Maps:

  1. Not all GIS applications can consume KML file directly due to its unique data structures such as networklinks, folders, models etc.

  2. Please contact Lawrence Chong, Digital Services Directorate for TC Smart Maps KML dataset and format translation.

  3. TC Smart Maps KML link: \\tc.gc.ca\tcgis\GISData\Google Mashup\EnvironmentalAffairs\ALbertaOilSands\AlbertaOilSands.kmz

Customization:

  1. Schema transformation: As required

  2. Denormalization: Not required

  3. Value coding: Not required

  4. Attribute renaming: As required to improve readability

  5. Attribute removal: It is highly recommended as some fields are unnecessary, this will also reduce file size and improve performance

  6. Geoenrichment: Feature symbolization is recommended to improve visualization

  7. Format translation: Not required

  8. Language translation: French version available for some dataset
