Presentation Details

When working with databases of large sewer systems, it is important to document the changes to the database over time. Ramboll have developed a tool in FME, that not only document changes between database versions, but also generates maps of the updated objects using Data Driven Pages in ArcMap. The comparison tells which objects and attributes that have changed, keeping both the old and new attribute value. When generating the maps, the most critical attributes are labelled for a quick visual comparison. But for deeper insight of the changes, all updated attributes are saved in the comparison database.
