The CIP feature class is a cross-departmental solution for mapping Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects at the City of Austin. An FME workbench is used to append several departmental feature classes together as one polygon feature class; create a one-project to one-feature relationship; and connect to the project management database for information used to coordinate CIP projects. This feature class is the first successful City-wide effort to map CIP projects, and does so while allowing departments to track information independently, applying mapping standards, and obtaining source information from project managers.
