Amy exported some XML from a City of Eugene geodatabase for me, and I've put it in an accessible place, but I'm not sure how useful it will be. It looks like the individual layer files are basically empty of actual shape data. The full XML dump of the database is quite large (53M), but I'm not sure if it contains data that corresponds to layer data in the campus map. If you want to give it a try, it's at
/home/faculty/michal/public_html/08F-GIS-Eugene
on the Sun (ix) file system, or
http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/~michal/08F-GIS-Eugene
through the web server.
The .shx files are in a native ESRI data format, and the .dbf files are some kind of native database file ... the Unix "file" command claims they are in DBase 3 data file format, which is possible. The "file" command claims the .mdb file is a Microsoft Access database, but that seems unlikely. If there is data useful for testing, it is likely to be in the file XMLExport_GeoDataBase.xml . Warning, that's 53 megabytes of XML text with really long lines. Whether it has anything usable or not, I really can't tell ... trying to look through it with Emacs didn't get me very far, and it crashed Firefox!
We're hoping for real OSB data at the end of the week.
