EVIDENCE

Internal project record: 12 projects and geodatabase structuring

Scope documented in the record

GeoSAT's historical portfolio register records an engagement to structure a geodatabase in GDB or MDB format with Esri tools for a preliminary study-area and early-warning analysis requested by UPME across twelve projects. It also states that the work used ANLA guidance applicable at the time, associated with Resolution 1415 of 2012 and the geographic storage model then used for environmental studies.

The relationship is anonymized. This page does not identify the contracting engineering firm, projects, locations, alternatives, layers, constraints, analysis results or delivery documents. The count of twelve projects belongs to the recorded scope; it does not mean twelve approvals or twelve accepted submissions.

Historical evidence, not current conformity

The case demonstrates experience organizing information for several projects inside a shared geospatial structure. It does not demonstrate compliance with the UPME model published in 2026 or the MAGNA National Origin package that ANLA currently provides under Resolution 2182 of 2016. References, formats, dictionaries, coordinate systems and procedures change, so a historical template must not be reused as though it were current.

This page also does not claim that UPME or ANLA received, validated or accepted the files. The project record does not publish approval acts, information requests, environmental licences, favourable opinions or regulatory decisions. Technical preparation can reduce internal risk, while official assessment remains with the competent authority.

Why one case supports energy and ANLA pages

The historical work connects two needs: structuring information for an energy-planning process and organizing environmental information under an ANLA reference of its time. A single page can therefore support the UPME and MAG service clusters without duplicating the narrative. Editorial ownership remains with the energy service, and the ANLA landing links to this same case with its limits visible.

Applying the lesson to a new project

A current scope must begin by verifying the applicable instrument, identifying the target process and separating official delivery formats from diagnostic exchange formats. For UPME, GeoJSON exported by a local tool does not replace required SHP or GDB files and their prescribed structure. For ANLA, an independent precheck is not the official validator and cannot guarantee acceptance.

Preparation may include a source inventory, mapping between requirements and objects, and checks for coordinate systems, domains, geometry, metadata, names and changes. Every finding should have an accountable project owner. That repeatable preparation discipline is the transferable lesson; private outcomes and any authority decision remain outside this publication.
