What type of data does ArcGIS Data Store manage?

ArcGIS Data Store is specifically designed to manage operational and basemap data, which serves as the foundation for various GIS applications and services within the ArcGIS Enterprise ecosystem. This type of data includes feature layers, imagery layers, and other spatial datasets that are essential for running and managing GIS operations efficiently.

Operational data refers to the data that supports the day-to-day operations of organizations, such as real-time data generated from sensors or data collected through field surveys. Basemap data, on the other hand, provides a geographic reference layer, including topographic maps, satellite imagery, and street maps that help users understand the spatial context of their data.

The other types of data mentioned in the choices do not align with the primary functions of ArcGIS Data Store. While user-generated content and geospatial analysis results may be part of a broader GIS workflow, they are not the central focus of what the Data Store manages. Mapping applications refer to the software tools and interfaces used to view and interact with the data but are also outside the management scope of the Data Store itself. Thus, identifying operational and basemap data recognizes the core role of ArcGIS Data Store in supporting the broader ArcGIS Enterprise infrastructure.
