The successful implementation of a network inventory system hinges on the efficient acquisition and maintenance of digital data about network facilities.
For digital data sources, converting data into a consistent and sophisticated network inventory model (data conflation) necessitates accessing and analyzing information in various formats. This includes databases, text files, Excel tables, image files (both raster and vector), as well as network data sources such as WMS, WFS, external APIs, and others.
Challenges of converting data to a consistent network model
Providing geospatial context to data
from diverse sources and correctly identifying objects across scattered attributes from multiple data sources is a tedious process.
Constructing a network topology
for data from fragmented sources, without explicit identification of topological relationships, is slow and error-prone.
Analyzing multiple data sources to identify network object types,
consistent with the inventory system’s model, is complex and time-consuming.
The variety in object representations,
differing structures, visualization methods, and map location accuracy in different data sources complicates the process of identifying and unifying the network model.
