This diagram was developed to document the Oakland County, Michigan parcel geodatabase model. The model is based on the ArcGIS Parcel Data Model, but a number of specific design decisions were made in the project that are reflected in this data model. The purpose of this model is to support both publication and maintenance of the County's land parcel records.

The primary key for the line entity. Describes a boundary location through a call to a legal location, a related document, or a known location. Identifies the record boundary's status from a legal perspective. The distance to the left of and perpendicular to a defined boundary line that defines the record boundary. The distance to the right of and perpendicular to a defined boundary line that defines the record boundary. Contains additional information about the record boundary that may be in public record. Direction is the angle between a line and an arbitrary chosen reference line. The quantity for the distance of a boundary. Distance is the linear measure along a line. This attribute is the "basis of bearing" or "basis of azimuth" for the direction. Indicates the units for a direction. Directions can be measured as either bearings or azimuth. Defines the units of measure and reference plane upon which distance measurements are taken. Describes the reference surface for the distance. The radius is the distance from the center of the curve to any point on the circular curve. The central angle of a circular curve. This is a term from the Arc Cogo process and the Cogo line type. The arc length is the long chord length. This is a term from the Arc Cogo process and the Cogo line type. The source agent is the individual or organization, which determined the record boundary values. The value assigned to a record boundary document to file or identify the source from which the record boundary originated. Describes a family of documents, files, images, or other formats having some common unifying characteristic. The date of the record boundary document or other record. An indication of the classification of the boundary line that is used to support the definition of subtypes.

Public Land Survey System township second divisions are normally aliquot parts or government lots. This entity is the second subdivision of a Public Land Survey System township. The second division may extend to the quarter or quarter-quarter division of a section. Divisions below the sixteenth (quarter-quarter) are in the PLSS third division.

The individual or organization or agency that determined the coordinate value. A coordinate value to file or identify the adjustment or survey from which the coordinate value originated. The date of the coordinate record such as the date of the adjustment. Any additional notes or information about the methods used to obtain a measurement or the accuracy of the resulting measurements. The accuracy of the x or east coordinate expressed as the x component of a 95% percent error ellipse.

The accuracy of the z or elevation expressed as the semi-major axis of the 95% percent error ellipse. A measure of the total accuracy of a coordinate value. Any statements or qualifications about the accuracy of a coordinate value. The identification given to the reference system used for defining the coordinates of points. The reference frame or system from which linear or angular quantities are measured and assigned to the position that a point occupies. The vertical datum is the identification given to the reference system used for defining the elevation of points. The technology that was used to establish the coordinate value. the procedure using the methods above to measure the coordinate value. The units of measure for the elevation values, such as survey feet or meters.
Digital orthophotography
Imagery is now included in many parcel mapping applications. While not displayed in traditional tax parcel maps, orthophotography has become an important tool for planning and enforcing land use policies. Discrepancies between photography and county records can be easily located and investigated.

The Public Land Survey System is a rectilinear survey framework that covers roughly 2/3rds of the United States. A set of prime meridians and baselines define axes for townships which cover an area of six by six miles. Each township is further subdivided into sections which cover an area of one by one mile.

The geodatabase structure

Survey datasets are created and managed by the Survey Analyst, to be released with ArcGIS 8.3. Survey measurements are entered and coordinates are calculated. These coordinates are used to update the geometry of features in survey-aware feature classes as improved survey information becomes available.

Inside the geodatabase

A geodatabase is a store of geographic data implemented with the relational database of your choice. All geodatabase elements are managed in standard DBMS tables using standard SQL data types.These are some of the structural elements of a geodatabase that you will use to develop your geographic data model.
Feature dataset Contains spatially-related feature classes together with the topology and network objects that bind them. Feature classes in a feature dataset have a spatial reference. Feature class A table with a shape field containing point, line, or polygon geometries for geographic features. Each row is a feature.

The street number and all prefixes and suffixes including the full street name. The number assigned to a building or a land parcel along the street to identify location and to ensure accurate mail delivery. A sub-number to a street number. A predirectional field. Official name of a street is assigned by a local governing authority. Generally defined by the postal service and include the common street indications like street, avenue, drive, circle, boulevard. The directional symbol that represents the sector of a city where a street address is located. A finer partitioning of geographic subdivisions of a state or county, usually associated with additional levels of government.

bridge between survey and GIS For applications that demand high locational accuracy, you can link feature geometry to survey point locations. This lets you characterize and incrementally improve the spatial accuracy of your GIS database.
A survey project represents a unit of work and manages a group of measurements, points, coordinates and computations.
