Below are common terms that are encountered when using Production Mapping.
Area of interest
A polygon feature that represents the specific geographic extent of the instance. This could be an index feature from a feature class that contains all the chart or map extents for a region or the world. Examples include a country, region, or area based on an index of map extents. Area of interest is abbreviated as AOI.
批处理作业
批处理作业是一组可以对数据工作空间运行的校验。批处理作业可用来确保数据符合您所在组织用于创建数据和硬拷贝以及数字产品的产品规范。
校验
校验是用于针对特定条件验证数据的工具。例如，几何重叠校验可用于确保未在湖泊上方对建筑物进行数字化。
Composite template
A composite template is a group of two or more feature templates that can be used to create multiple features with one edit sketch. Composite templates define which templates will be used and what order the features will be created in. Specific construction tools have been designed to determine how the features will be created. For example, you can create a composite template for a line layer and a point layer, but it is the construction tool that will determine if the point is created at the start of the line, in the middle of the line, or at every vertex along the line.
Feature-level metadata
Feature-level metadata is attributes on a feature and is used to store metadata about the feature. Feature-level metadata can include information such as the following:
- Source material used to collect the feature
- Date last modified and by whom
- Horizontal and vertical accuracy of the feature
- The security clearance level of the feature
要素模板
Creating features is accomplished through the use of feature templates. Feature templates define all the information required to create a feature: the layer where a feature will be stored, the attributes a feature is created with, and the default tool used to create that feature. Templates also have a name, description, and tags that can help you find and organize them. If templates are not present when you start editing, they are automatically created for each layer in the current editing workspace. Templates are saved in the map document (.mxd) and the layer file (.lyr).
在“编辑”的帮助中，术语“要素模板”和“模板”可互换使用。
Field configurations
Define custom Production Mapping properties about your fields. This includes how the field is displayed in tool dialog boxes and windows, such as Feature Manager, what type of control is used to edit the field, or if the field is considered feature-level metadata. Field configuration can also be used to determine which attributes will be used when dissolving features with the Production Dissolve tool and how the other attributes will be populated. Field configurations are created using the Manage Field Configurations command, which can be accessed from the Product Library window.
Instance
A geographic extent on a product. An instance is associated with a data frame on the map document. A product can have one or more instances on it, which means it can also have more than one data frame (one for each instance). The instance can contain the main map data or be used as an inset.
定位精度评估
定位精度评估是确定量化值的过程，该量化值表示两个地理空间图层之间或者地理空间图层与图层所基于的实际 terrain 之间的位置差异。
Product library
Geodatabase that allows multiuser environments to centralize information and behavior for cartographic and digital data production. Production business rules, documents, and spatial information are stored inside the product library, allowing an organization to enforce and standardize production. Data model information, data validation rules, geographic extents, symbology rules, and map documents can all be managed inside the product library as examples of production business rules.
A product library can also contain the data for production and be a production database. When this is the case, the geodatabase contains tables from the schema of a product library and production database.
Production database
A production database contains the data you are using for production tasks such as creating and updating features. Depending on the data model you are using, data in a production database can be used to create a digital or hard-copy map or chart or a specific type of data.
检查器表
检查器表是一种容器，其中包含已对数据执行的校验和所有手动质量检查的全部结果。通过此表可对记录进行追踪，即从将记录写入表中一直到校正验证。
检查器工作空间
检查器工作空间是包含与检查器会话相关的表和数据集的地理数据库。这些表包含已对数据运行的检查器校验的结果以及通过“检查器表属性”对话框应用的所有自定义。为检查器会话配置的高级属性也存储在此工作空间中。
Series
A subgrouping of a product class based on a common geographic area or presentation style. A series is useful for subdividing product classes that have a large number of products. Some common geographic series can be based on a state, country, or any part thereof. A series could also be defined based on appearance such as a common page size or layout for a product class that produces maps.
Straight line diagram
A diagram of a linear referencing route feature where the route is depicted as a straight line instead of showing the geometry of the feature. Such diagrams include one straight line to represent the route and additional rows above or below the route to depict events or features along the road. Straight line diagrams are often used for highway or pipeline management.
Visual specification
A collection of rules that manage representation symbology and label fields for many layers. You can apply these rules to multiple layers using the Calculate Visual Specifications tool.
