Yes. The geometry data that is stored by MicroStation GeoGraphics is 100% Oracle Spatial and OGIS compliant. Please keep in mind however that other software may have different methods of accessing and storing element attribution information. Accordingly, layers that query back in MicroStation GeoGraphics with unique line styles, colors, and as various MicroStation element types will likely query back as pure Oracle Spatial: points, lines and polygons without style. MicroStation GeoGraphics provides storage of attribute information in XML format in an effort to make sharing of element attribute information as easy as currently possible. Advanced users can utilize this XML data to successfully reconstitute elements with correct style when using software other than MicroStation GeoGraphics.
