| Abstract: | Of all the procedures utilized in the conversion phase of implementing a Geographic Information System (GIS), perhaps the most important are those pertaining to quality assurance. It is especially important that sound quality assurance procedures be established for the conversion of the base data or base layer, as erroneous data may be carried into subsequent databases, thus compounding problems and diminishing the perceived usefulness of the system. This article discusses the quality assurance process and control procedures invoked in the conversion of the property base layer for Alachua County, Florida (GEOMAX project). Since the Alachua County GIS employs a facility management model, specific examples of quality control procedures presented are from that perspective. However, common problems encountered during the conversion process of GIS projects are discussed, along with solutions used to locate and correct those problems within the GEOMAX project. |
