GISP EXAM V1
1. This is when the database checks the list of users to make sure the user is allowed to make
a connection. This may be done for the operating systemand/or the database.: Authentication
2. User needs establish a foundation for completing the design (user sitelocations, user
workflows, peak workflow processing loads, and network bandwidth (connectivity) for the
enterprise design solution).
User location and peak business loads establish a foundation for system architecture design.
Applies peak business workflow loads to the networkand hardware components to identify
required design specifications.: Re-quirements Phase
3. This is when infrastructure upgrade requirements, network communica-tion capacity,
hardware and software procurement requirements, software development, and data acquisition
needs must be identified.: Design Phase
4. This is when: system procurement is authorized (based on design bud- get/deployment
timeline), data acquisition and database design efforts be- gin, procurement authorization for
application design and development, andprototype testing plans are completed and scheduled
to validate product delivery.: Construction Phase
5. This is when the initial deployment and operational testing, final system delivery, user
training, and workflow migration are complete. System mainte-nance operations begin.:
Implementation Phase
6. A framework to promote successful GIS system design and implemen- tation. Tasks
(implementation phase) include reviewing business needs, es- tablishing performance targets,
identifying user locations, reviewing networksuitability, selecting product architecture, and
completing the system archi- tecture design analysis.: Capacity Planning Tool (CPT)
7. A geographic information system that is integrated through an entire or- ganization so
that a large number of users can manage, share, and use spatialdata and related information to
address a variety of needs, including data creation, modification, visualization, analysis, and
dissemination.: EnterpriseGIS Environment
8. Information technology (IT) resources and data that are shared across an enterprise. This
group of technologies may contain: database servers, storage area networks, windows terminal
servers, web servers, map servers,and desktop clients.: Enterprise techologies
9. This defines the structure or design of the database or database object (table, view, index,
stored procedure, trigger). In a relational DB, it defines thetables, fields in each table,
relationships between fields and tables. Generallydocumented in the data dictionary, this
provides a logical classification of DBobjects.: Schema
10. The range of values for a particular attribute field/metadata element.: Do-main
11. Catalog or table containing information about the datasets stored in adatabase. Might
contain the full names of attributes, meanings of codes,
, scale of source data, accuracy of locations, and map projections used.: DataDictionary
12. Enforces data integrity, defines what values are allowed in a field in afeature class or non-
spatial attribute table: Attribute domain
13. Attribute domain that defines a set of permissible values for an attribute ina geodatabase: it
has a code and its equivalent value.: Coded value domain
14. Type of attribute domain that defines the permissible values for a numericattribute.: Range
domain
15. The defined precision and allowable range for x- and y-coordinates and for m- and z-values,
if present. Defines the precision at which geometry attributes can be stored as integers - the x,y
spatial domain is analogous to a square grid that always contains the same number of rows and
columns.: Spatial domain
16. Involves file creation, editing, management, back up data, keeping track of files, organizing
files. Use metadata.: Digital file management.
17. A logical, clear structure and labeling system enables not only others to access your data,
but makes it easier for you to find your own data as well.: Fileorganization
18. Shapefile, feature class, file gdb, personal gdb, DB table, spreadsheet, cad,raster: File types
19. One or more structured sets of persistent data, managed and stored as a unit and generally
associated with software to update and query the data.A simple might be a single file with
many records, each of which references the same set of fields.: Database
20. Structured set of persistent data that includes info about the spatial lo- cations and shapes
of geographic features recorded as points, lines, areas,pixels, grid cells, or TINs, as well as
their attributes.: Geodatabase.
21. There are 3 types of these (1) logical constructs solely pertaining to thisstandard (2)
constructs relating to implementation method, (3) constructs solely pertaining to the transfer
media.: Transfer Constructs
22. Once users are added, the database administrator must grant specificprivileges to users to
determine what they can and cannot do in the database. The database checksthese privileges
when an authenticated user tries to access or alter the database.This processis called .:
Authorization
23. Aka. Server Virtualization. Store files here to be accessible from anywhere (editing can be
performed by multi or single user). Can be spread out among multiple geographic locations
which improves reliability - if there is a problem at one server farm, the other server farms in the
cloud can pick up the slack.
Data can be duplicated in multiple locations to more-quickly serve multipleusers, and provide
backups.: Cloud
