ArcCatalog™ software, part of the suite of integrated applications
in the ArcGIS™ Desktop, makes accessing and managing geographic
data simple. You can easily find the data you need, quickly review
and display its contents, and read or create documentation
(metadata). You can also manage coverages, shapefiles, and other
spatial data stored in folders on local disks or in relational
databases that are available on your network.
With Using ArcCatalog, you can get to work right away. This book
makes it easy to identify a task you need to perform and shows you
how to—from basic to advanced—get it done.
You will learn how to:
Explore geographic data and its attributes.
View and create metadata.
Modify the data's properties.
Add and delete attributes.
Link geographic features to attributes stored in separate
tables.
Begin by following the quick-start tutorial, which walks you
through the typical tasks you will encounter when preparing your
data for a project. It then shows how you can use ArcCatalog,
ArcMap™, and ArcToolbox™ together to make your project a success.
If you prefer, jump right in and experiment with ArcCatalog on your
own. When you have questions, you will find concise, step-by-step
answers inside, fully illustrated, to help you complete a task.
