Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) program custom spatial data production tools

Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) program

The Geologic Resource Inventory (GRI) Program Custom Production Tools are a suite of Python scripts and ESRI Add-Ins designed to streamline the creation of GRI-compliant spatial datasets for ArcGIS, QGIS, and Google Earth (KMZ). These tools support the full data production pipeline, including the generation of FGDC-compliant metadata, ancillary documents, and the compilation of complete data packages for upload to the IRMA data store. ESRI Add-Ins The following standalone Add-Ins appear in the ArcGIS Pro Add-In ribbon once imported: • CreateBoxesPro – Generates a grid overlay to assist with data subdivision for quality control and feature capture. • ExportProLayers – Exports ArcGIS Pro maps to .mapx files and all associated layers to .lyrx files. • OrderProLayers – Reorders GRI layers in the ArcGIS Pro Table of Contents according to the GRI Geologic-GIS data model specification. • ProExportRGB – Creates a .csv file of RGB values for polygon layers symbolized with unique values in ArcGIS Pro. • Spellchecker – Uses the Microsoft Word dictionary to spellcheck string fields in each layer and outputs tables of unrecognized words. Python Toolboxes The Python-based tools are organized into ArcGIS Pro toolboxes that align with the GRI spatial data production workflow: • GRI Add Topology Rules – Adds topology rules to a GRI-compliant geodatabase. • GRI Comp Extract Tools – Collection of tools that compile and extract component maps, and load data into GRI-compliant geodatabases. • GRI Create GDB – Generates a standardized GRI-compliant geodatabase. • GRI Create HMXZ – Creates placeholder ancillary PDF documents. • GRI Feature Query – Produces a .csv report of feature counts from a GRI-compliant geodatabase. • GRI Finalization Tools – Collection of tools that finalizes ArcGIS Pro projects, add map publisher domains, generate and parse metadata, and package data for IRMA upload. • GRI GDB to GPKG – Exports a GRI-compliant geodatabase to a GeoPackage. • GRI GDB Validator – Calculates ObjectIDs and FUIDs, resets spatial extents and indexes, validates fields and aliases, and performs table checks against the GRI data model. • GRI QC Tools – Collection of tools that conduct consistency and proximity checks in accordance with the GRI QC protocol. • GRI Search and Replace KMZ – Updates KMZ files with IRMA data store paths for README files, metadata, and ancillary documents. • GRI Sensitive Tools – Collection of tools that extract sensitive data from GRI compliant geodatabases and generates corresponding sensitive geodatabases and sensitive ArcGIS Pro maps. • GRI Table Tools – Collection of tools that create GRI-compliant standalone tables, validate table values, and populate feature class fields from table values. • GRI Symbology Tools – Collection of tools that populate feature class symbology fields from a symbol spreadsheet and set feature layer symbology from a custom style and a spreadsheet containing geologic unit RGB values. • GRI QGIS Tools – Collection of scripts that update a QGIS project containing a geopackage to closely match the look of GRI data in ArcGIS Pro.
