The resulting volygons honor variation in thickness within the reservoir and the 3D orientation of the reservoir body as a whole. The presentation will consist of two parts. The first will present the business case for PODS and the PODS Association. The second part will describe technical aspects of the data model. The purpose of PODS is to promote a database standard in the pipeline industry so companies can avoid custom data designs and applications, avoid costly data migration, and reduce development risk.
Vendors benefit by developing applications and processes that can be shared by different customers.
To manage the PODS data model, a new PODS Association has been formed, which will oversee the continued development of the model and extensions through focused working groups composed of industry and vendor members. This presentation will describe the purpose and operation of the PODS Association. Finally, this presentation will focus on the PODS data model itself and the important concepts. The focus will be on some of the core data model tables, how ESRI users can easily use the model, and future directions. Earth features intercept the laser pulse and reflect it back to the aircraft.
