Integrate RealWare data to ArcInfo 9.3

[DanetteKinsley]

Hi,

I work in our local WY Assessor's Office doing fieldwork as well as do GIS work. Since I started working in the office I self taught myself how to use ArcInfo so my knowledge is limited to the basic functions of things. Our data hasn't been fully updated county wide for about 6 years. I'm looking for the best way to go about updating our information AND to link it to our tax database, RealWare, in order to keep it constantly updating.

If I could get guidance on the best way to go about updating all of our records that would be great!!

Thank you,
Danette

Danette -

In briefly researching your question, there is quite a bit about the State of Wyoming Department of Revenue's Conversion Standard for ArcGIS.  Please see the following brief for details:  http://pdf.aminer.org/000/295/153/conversion_of_high_level_information_from_scanned_maps_into_geogra...

Further, it would seem an add-on called GeoWare - http://www.coloradocustomware.com/Geoware.aspx - may be what you're looking to do.  Do you have access to GeoWare?  Please advise.

Wyoming does not use GeoWare anymore.  We will be going to Matix within the next few months.

No, we no longer have GeoWare on our computers. Is that the only way to integrate the two?

Thank you,

As John Lucotch mentioned, if GeoWare is built off of SQL Server, then you could make a database connection to the SQL Server database and see the tables in there.  Are you attempting to make an ArcMap Join to tie the 2 tables together?  Pls advise.

Hey Danette,

We have been working on a solution to the RealWare issue in Wyoming.  From my understanding RealWare is built on top of SQL Server.  You can connect through ArcCatalog to this database.  

Thanks
