Domain 1- Data Management[35%]
This domain covers concepts of comparison and contrast among various types of vector or raster datasets that ArcGIS supports. The application of the appropriate coordinate systems to preserve desired spatial properties is also covered. It also addresses how to move data to a feature class, file geodatabase, or table. Validation of spatial and attribute data. Additionally, determining the ArcGIS Platform components used in managing data and determining the appropriate geodatabase elements to be used. Management of raster, tabular and vector data, as well as managing metadata and item details.
Domain 2- Data Manipulation[17%]
This domain is about using the editing capabilities of ArcGIS to create, modify, and delete 2D and 3-D data. Resolving data alignment issues and applying SQL query are also addressed. Also, how to fix the link between a layer of data and its data source, and troubleshooting data anomalies using vector and tabular data
Domain 3- Visualization[14%]
This domain aims to improve our understanding of ArcGIS Desktop coordinate system and geographic transformation, layer properties, and how to visualize temporal, ranged or 3D data.
Domain 4- Sharing[14%]
This domain also includes concepts such as how to export data and maps to different formats. You will also need to choose how content is shared across ArcGIS Platform. This includes identifying the purpose and description of metadata and other properties that can be shared. Also, how to create and manage maps layouts and map books
Domain 5- Analysis and Geoprocessing[20%]
This domain also aims to compare the functionality of table joins, relates, relationship class, and spatial joins. Next, you will need to determine the right geo processing tool to use. Then, you will need to use tasks, batch processing models, scripts, or scripts to complete a complex workflow. Further, identify analysis tools that are available through the portal and apply raster functions to raster processing.
