Answer

Note:
This article will soon be retired. For the most current Esri data model information, navigate to ArcGIS Solutions or the Solutions Gallery to access industry-specific configurations for ArcGIS along with ready-to-use maps and apps to jump-start your work. In addition, use the ArcGIS Solutions Deployment Tool to browse and deploy hundreds of apps dynamically managed by Esri.

With the ArcGIS platform, the Esri vision is to build many industry-specific data models. Our basic goals are to simplify the process of implementing projects, and to promote and support standards that exist in our user communities.

Academic and industry leaders collaborate with Esri to create and design data model templates that can be used with one GIS platform. The result is this set of data model structures that can be implemented for each of the industries and scientific disciplines that Esri serves.

Read about the goals and process in the Introduction to ArcGIS Data Models, and visit the Data Model tips and tricks page designed as a resource for common methods and best practices.

Use this list to explore the industry areas. Some have available for download case studies, some have design templates, some have tools, and some have two or more of these available.
