ArcGIS Help 10.2 - Schematic datasets in a geodatabase in DB2

Schematic datasets are similar to feature datasets, but they contain a collection of schematic diagram templates and schematic feature classes. They are used to graphically visualize and manipulate network data.

Schematic datasets in ArcGIS for Desktop

In the Catalog tree, schematic datasets have the following icon:

When you expand a schematic dataset, you can see the schematic diagrams it contains. These diagrams have the following icon:

The names of the schematic dataset and schematic diagram in a geodatabase in DB2 contain the database name, the name of the dataset owner, and the names of the dataset and diagram themselves.

Schematic datasets in an IBM DB2 database

The following tables are used to store information on schematic datasets.

Schematic diagrams in XML

Though you cannot export an entire schematic dataset to XML at once, you can export individual schematic diagrams to an XML document. The following is a partial example of such a file:
