Feature dataset: This is a collection of feature classes stored together in a geodatabase
that share the same spatial reference; that is, they share a coordinate system, and their
features fall within a common geographic area. Feature classes with different geometry
types (points, lines, and polygons) may be stored together in a single feature dataset.
Feature datasets are required for the use of geodatabase topologies and geometric
networks.
Fields: These are the columns in a database table and are used to store values associated
with records. These must have unique names that do not contain special characters with
the exception of an underscore (_). Fields must also be assigned a data type that
determines what type of information can be stored within the field. Common field types
include Text, Date, Long Integer, Short Integer, Float, and Double.
Geodatabase: This is the native data format for ArcGIS. There are three basic types:
personal, file, and SDE. SDE Geodatabases come in three types personal, workgroup and
enterprise. Workgroup and enterprise geodatabases require ArcGIS for Server.
Geodatabases store various types of geographic datasets including feature classes, tables,
raster datasets, network datasets, topologies, address locators, custom toolboxes, and many
others.
Geoprocessing: This means the manipulation of data within ArcGIS. Usually, it is
associated with the use of geoprocessing tools. The process of converting, managing, and
analyzing data is considered as geoprocessing.
Geoprocessing tools: These are tools that allow users to manipulate data within the
ArcGIS Platform. Tool availability is determined by licensing levels and available
extensions. They can be accessed in many different ways, including toolboxes, Python,
ModelBuilder, and custom applications.
Geocoding: This is the act of turning an address into a point location. It requires the
following three components: address or list of addresses, reference data (GIS data with
address information), and a locator, which translates between the other two components.
Integer: This is a whole number; that is, it has no fractions or decimal values.
Join: This is one of the two ways to link two tables together in ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro.
This requires a cardinality of one to one or many to one. It creates a virtual link between
the two tables so that within your map document or ArcGIS Pro project, the two tables
appear as one. You may then use the data from both tables to query, label, and symbolize
features.
Labels: Labeling is an easy way to add descriptive text to features on your map. Labels
are dynamically placed, and label text strings are based on feature attributes. You can turn
labels on or off as a group. They can also be locked, so their locations stay fixed as you
zoom or pan on your map.
Layer: This is any spatial or tabular data displayed or accessed within a map or scene. It is
located in the Contents pane in ArcGIS Pro or the Table of Contents in ArcMap. Layers
have properties, including Name, Symbology, Label Settings, Display settings, and
