MODELING OF SPATIAL DATABASE FOR GEOTECNICAL DATA

Abstract

Geotechnical data is often produced and managed by several producers in isolation, in their own formats and standards, which aim to meet the unique needs of specific users. In the Federal District in Brazil there is a large amount of geotechnical data from academic research, public and private sector, but the Government of the Federal District does not have adequate geotechnical information management despite using of that information constantly. This work presents a conceptual model of a geotechnical database, more specifically for field investigations and laboratory tests. For modeling the object modeling technique for geographic application, adopted by the Spatial Data Infrastructure of the Federal District (IDE / DF), was used and compatible with the specifications approved by the National Cartography Commission, which defines data structure standards for large-scale topographic surveys facilitating the sharing of spatial data, interoperability and the rationalization of resources between producers and users of data and information map between different institutions. This approach will allow the implementation of the geotechnical data model proposed at SDB/DF and its future integration with National Spatial Data Bank (NSDB).
