To create a data mapping

Gather the information needed for migration and configuration. For each feature in the source data, document the following information.

  1. Feature type – Enterprise industry model feature type for this feature (point, line, polygon, text, etc)
  2. Target enterprise industry model feature
  3. Feature Source - Layer, block name, etc. for the feature
  4. Attribute – source of attributes
    • object data
    • extended entity data
    • external data
    • block names
    • block attributes
    • label
    • symbology
    • Any implied attribute values. For example, all poles are 40’ unless the height object data attribute specifies a different value.
  5. Labels – Do features require one or more labels? Enterprise industry model labels are generated by select statements.
  6. Feature Rules - Does the feature have any special business rules? For example, a valve always performs a hard split when placed on a pipe, or a tap always performs a soft split when placed on a pipe.
  7. Symbology – what drives the symbology: color, line style, symbol, themes?
  8. Integration – is this feature required to integrate with any outside data source? One example is service points may need to integrate with CIS to get customer data.
