The ArcGIS Pipeline Data Model provides for two ways to use the data model. It can be used to migrate a project into ArcGIS, and can also be used as input to the ongoing process of discussion for the gas transmission pipeline industry on a common data model.
APDM is currently a template open for input review and testing by the community. APDM is created in the spirit of gaining gas transmission and pipeline industry acceptance of a common data model, with specific applications and data that will come from more than one commercial provider.
Visit the ArcGIS Pipeline Data Model site, or APDM, for more information related to Pipeline GIS, including UML and design templates to download. Or visit the GIS for Pipeline industry page for more information.
