Data Quality Information:


Attribute accuracy:
Attribute accuracy report:
Retention of attribute accuracy throughout the coverage to geodatabase feature class coversion process was ensured by a QA/QC programmatic check. To meet satisfactory QA/QC requirements the input coverage and output feature class must have, on a record by record basis, identical attribution when comparing all concatenated fields to all the user-defined attribution.

Quantitative attribute accuracy assessment:

Logical consistency report:
Topologically clean

Completeness report:
Features may have been eliminated or generalized due to scale and intended use. To assist Loudoun County, Virginia in the maintenance of the data, please provide any information concerning discovered errors, omissions, or other discrepancies found in the data.

Process step:
Process description:
This data set was part of a batch process that converted legacy data from ArcInfo coverage in Librarian to a single-tiled ArcInfo coverage in preparation for a final conversion to ArcSDE Geodatabase Feature Classes.  Data were extracted from Librarian using the EXTRACT TOPOLOGICAL Command.

Multi-tiled data were extracted into multiple coverages and then combined based on the feature type(s).  Layers with both polygon and arc feature classes were processed with the Arc commands, MAPJOIN and DISSOLVE.  Arc feature classes alone were processed with the Arc commands, APPEND and DISSOLVE.  Layers with both arc and point feature classes and point feature classes alone were processed with the Arc command, APPEND.  When used, the Arc command, DISSOLVE, was given with the <#all> option.

All coverages were then reprojected to HARN 83 using the following .prj file specifications:
INPUT
PROJECTION STATEPLANE
UNITS FEET
ZONE 5551
DATUM NAD27 NADCON
PARAMETERS
OUTPUT
PROJECTION STATEPLANE
UNITS FEET
FIPSZONE 4501
DATUM HPGN NADCON
PARAMETERS END

This dataset was then converted to a feature class in a geodatabase in ArcSDE.
