The document outlines the step-by-step procedure to create a geo-database and add topology in ArcGIS, including: creating a new folder and personal geo-database in Arc Catalog, adding a feature dataset and feature class, defining topology rules, and validating for errors shown in red colors for points, lines, and polygons, which can then be corrected using options like merge, clip, cut, and exception.
