31
ObjectID (data type)
Unique feature/record identifier
32

33
Feature Dataset
Collection of related feature classes that share a common coordinate system. Used to spatially or thematically integrate related feature classes. Primary purpose is for organizing related feature classes into a common dataset for building a topology, a network dataset, a terrain dataset, or a geometric network.
34
Feature Classes
Homogenous collections of common features,e ach having the same spatial representation, such as points, lines, or polygons; and a common set of attribute columns (ie a line feature class for representing road centerlines). Four most commonly used feature classes are points, lines, polygons, and annotation.
35
Relationship Classes
Integration of information about various types of geographic and non-geographic (table) entities, many of which can be related to each other.
36
Domains
Rules that describe the legal values of a field type, providing a method for enforcing data integrity (like a data dictionary)
37
Spatial Relationships and Rules
Topology rules you can implement into your geodatabase (ie "Must not Overlap")
