Introduction to ArcGIS Data Interoperability Spatial ETL Tools

Description

The ArcGIS Data Interoperability extension helps GIS professionals quickly convert spatial data to the precise format and data model needed for the task at hand. This course, the second in a series of six, introduces the concept of spatial ETL tools and shows how to create them using the Workbench application. You will learn how to restructure data during translation using schema mapping, and you will explore the import and export tools in ModelBuilder.

Who Should Attend

GIS professionals who want to restructure and transform datasets as they are translated between different formats and integrate data interoperability tools into geoprocessing models.
