User:Nikaries/Land Management Database Framework

About the LMDB The Land Management Database (LMDB) Framework consists of several localised and central components. The LMDB software is a customised toolbar for use within ArcMap. The toolbar was developed for the spatial recording and detailed description of on-ground works, with the ability to link to important business systems to track funded on-ground activities

Data is spatially recorded as points, lines or areas and stored locally in specifically designed ESRI Geodatabases. When mapping and attribution is completed, the information is stored in the data tables and linked to the spatial features with a unique identifier. The attributed spatial feature classes are exported to the Cenrtal Repository (EDBP) for compiling.

LMDB provides a standardised approach to mapping and recording of funded on-ground activities and reporting on project outputs. It also allows reporting (using Crystal Reports) against a range management targets or output objectives, including native vegetation management and establishment, erosion control, weed and pest control and community capacity building. Various levels of reporting are available, either to catchment, State or Federal agencies responsible for natural resource investment.

System Principles

Provide a framework that is user driven for the spatial recording and description of on-ground works, to meet an ongoing need for state wide consistent spatial reporting. Integrate with Other Systems

Provide the ability to link LMDB Activity’s to funding sources, proposed outcomes, management targets or any state and national targets Based on Agreed Standards

Data is entered ONCE - streamlining work flow and reducing work load and reducing opportunities for error Data can then be used multiple times for reporting and other uses. Community Driven

System customisation is controlled and driven by the community of stakeholders represented on the Land Management Database Technical Working Group Network Independance

The system will operate independently of departmental networks. The system utilises flexible check-out check-in web based processes. Master versions of data are maintained on local machines (PC, Laptop, Server)
