 Current Topic:

1.) GIS and GPS Data Standards -- A GIS Perspective

 

Various types of data compose a personal GIS project and an Enterprise GeoDatabase. In some cases, the data types are similar and in some cases they differ significantly.

 

 

Some questions that will be covered:

 

Who pays attention to data standards?

What standards are currently in widest use?

What is the range of formal criteria/standards that exist?

What is the basis for selection for different types of data?

What basic standards apply to data that are already commercially available versus data that are collected de novo with electronic equipment (PDA/GPS devices)?

Where does local survey/geodetic control fit in?

Where does the issue of Metadata fit in?
