Product Description
Describing applications and uses for parcel information in an ArcGIS geodatabase, this book covers the data model developed as a framework for land record information in an ArcGIS environment. Demonstrated is how the model supports real GIS work, including the update and maintenance of data content by tax assessors, planners, recorders, environmental managers, public works officials, safety officials, and others. Land records personnel learn how parcel information can be designed in a geodatabase so work can begin on system design and implementation. The advantages of putting parcel information into a geodatabase are described, and instruction on moving existing applications into the geodatabase is provided. Datasets are included that show how the parcel data model has been easily customized to satisfy different requirements.

5.0 out of 5 stars In a perfect world., July 29, 2008

This is really great data model, unless you have inherited a mess; then, it is a good model for a new approach to rebuilding that mess. I definitely recommend it for anyone interested in how it all SHOULD be put together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Surveyor's and/or GIS Professionals. , February 8, 2008

I hold a bachelor's degree in Geomatics and a LSIT, and I used this book during school. The ArcGIS parcel data model is THE standard for creating and maintaining a GIS for cadastral records. If you work for the County please take note!
