To restrict the Types field in a streets dataset, which data behavior should be applied?

1. Topology

2. Domains

3. Subtypes

4. Networking

The correct answer is: Domains

Applying domains is the appropriate choice for restricting the Types field in a streets dataset. Domains allow for the definition of a set of valid values for specific fields in a dataset. In this case, by using a domain, you can specify which types of streets are permissible, ensuring that only valid entries can be made in the Types field. This ensures data integrity and consistency, as it prevents users from inputting incorrect or unintended values. Moreover, domains can be applied to various data types, including integer, string, or date fields, making them versatile for different datasets. They also facilitate data management as edits can be made centrally to the domain, which reflects in all datasets that utilize that domain. While topology helps maintain spatial relationships and constraints within geographic data, and networking focuses on modeling connectivity among elements, those do not specifically address the restriction of values in a data field. Subtypes allow for categorization of features within a feature class, but they serve a different purpose than domains and are typically used to apply specific properties or behaviors to those categories rather than directly controlling valid input values.
