Topology Rules for Project Design

In order to showcase the many uses of topology, a wide variety of topological rules will have to be applied to this database. The following is an outline of of the feature datasets that will be used and the rules that will be applied to them. Feature classes are in regular print while topological rules are in bold.

Resource Extraction Dataset

• Lease sites must contain Resource Extraction point
• Pipelines endpoint must be covered by Resource Extraction point
• Resource extraction point must be properly inside of Lease site

Block Creeks Dataset

• Creeks must not overlap

Block Road Dataset

• Roads must not overlap
• Roads must not self overlap
• Crossings must be covered by Roads

Block Boundary Dataset

• Block boundary must not overlap with Lakes and rivers
• Reserves must contain point Wildlife points
• Reserves must not overlap

Site Preparation Dataset

• Type of site prep. must not have gaps
• Harvested blocks must cover Type of site prep.

For clarification of further blogs the heiarchy of data will be explained below with 1 being the largest file and highest level.

1. File Geodatabase
2. Feature Dataset
3. Feature Class

You must be working within a geodatabase in order to apply topology rules to feature classes within a feature dataset.
