Description
Surveyors, engineers, and governments all collect significant amounts of spatial data and supporting documentation such as design drawings and metadata. When undertaking new projects, it is important to have easy access to all the supporting information, especially in the context of geographic location. While you can store documents and their associated properties using document management systems such as Vault software or BIM 360 Docs software, those systems do not directly enable integration with a geographic information system (GIS). By accessing the Vault and/or Forge API along with Esri’s JavaScript and REST APIs, you can directly integrate GIS data to provide better, more versatile access to this data.
