It’s based on the data management and editing system pattern and includes three implementation options.  \n• Learn about reference architectures first to gain important context.  \nence Ar s Netw mation Management S em  \nNote:  \nThis reference architecture represents an example blueprint for this system type. The design does not reflect the needs of all network information management systems, including those that may combine multiple system patterns.  \nSuccessful system design involves the selection of workflows used to define requirements as well as designs for both logical and physical architectures. This reference architecture is based on a specific set of workflows identified for network information management systems, which are described in the intended workflows section.  \nCapabilities  \nA network information management system refers to an ArcGIS system which is designed, built, and operated to enable user personas across an organization to create, edit, maintain, view, and analyze the network features and relationships across an as-built network.  \nA foundational network information management system delivers all of the base capabilities defined in the data editing and management system pattern. In particular, it focuses on delivery of network information management capabilities that include:  \n• Spatial context necessary for understanding and optimizing network management activities  \n• Service-based editing of geometry, attributes, and relationships  \n• Enable enforcing data rules and consistencies through subtypes, domains and attribute rules  \n• Data collection workflows using smart forms, mobile applications, or maps in ArcGIS Pro, optimized for productivity  \n• Complex utility network information management using the ArcGIS Utility Network as an advanced data model  \nIntroduction and overview  \n• Interactions such as querying and viewing the utility network through web applications and experiences, including status or data reporting  \n• Analytical workflows such as upstream and downstream trace analysis based on the utility network maintained in this system  \nNetwork information managemen","cbCaibZu0gucjOZu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibZu0gucjOZu","pdf",530705,37,"English","# Reference Architecture\n## Introduction and overview\n## Intended workflows\n## Implementation options\n## Deployment patterns\n## Design considerations\n## Using this reference architecture","[{\"question\":\"What core capabilities does a foundational network information management system provide?\",\"answer\":\"It delivers spatial context, service-based editing of geometry, attributes, and relationships, data governance through subtypes/domains/attribute rules, smart-form and mobile data collection workflows, and advanced utility network information management using ArcGIS Utility Network.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main intended workflows described in the reference architecture?\",\"answer\":\"Workflows are defined as task sequences users perform to achieve business objectives.
