If yes, you can use them with Topobase Client and Topobase Web (for editing or viewing). Topobase 2009 has a new administrator function that allows you to convert an Oracle schema to a Topobase Document.
This converter will analyze the original schema and create the necessary meta information that is used by Topobase. During the whole process, the user is guided and is informed about the problems, so that he/she can fix them.
I remember, I was 14 years old and two guys came to our home with a theodolite. They explained to me that they had to survey our new house and showed me a map.
It looked like a funny job so I decided to study this matter and in 2002 I finally obtained a "Swiss Surveyor License". Fine, very fine... but I never used it... 
Except for the design of the new Topobase Survey module. With this tool, you can compute the field measurement and use the results in your Topobase documents.
It's a very complete application that fullfils the surveyor workflow: from field to GIS. An advanced least square adjustment computation, field code list management, distribution in GIS repository, generation of network (measurement and point) plan, usage of existing coordinates, quality and reliability improvements etc, etc...
Yep, we introduced the Ribbons in Topobase 2009. The main goal is to simplify the access to the functions and to reorganize them in a logical and intuitive way.
The "Home" tab contains the most important functions like Document Manager, Job Manager, Display Manager and tools to manage data.
The "Tools" tab lets you access functions such as COGO or Survey.
The "Settings" tab contains the configuration functions and the "Output" tab groups the plot, report and profile functions.
In order to avoid environmental impact, the wastewater network needs to be inspected regularly. Usually a small robot equiped with a video camera is placed in the pipes to do this. 
The wastewater technician can then identify any damage or problems. In order to make decision on the network effectively, it is very important to have an overview of the problems on a map, which is why Topobase 2009 allows you to import and analyse inspection data.
