A method for creating GIS features and populating a GIS feature attribute with information obtained from a bar code or similar identifier, for example for, but not limited to, pipelines. The method of this invention includes scanning a code on a component to be installed or repaired, converting the code into attributes which describe the component, obtaining additional characteristics of the component including a geometric feature thereof, associating the component with a location of installation and placing the geometric feature onto a map of the GIS.
