Data
Required Data:
Known Sources:
Data collection will be carried out in two ways: searching for existing available data in online databases and by direct contact with county and city governments. The websites that will be used have been chosen for their vast resources and known accuracy. Other sources may be used as well but will require additional research to check for accuracy. We will not do any field work. For this project we are strictly gathering data that already exists.
In order to analyze and manipulate our gathered data we will use ArcGIS 9.2. It provides us with the ability to ensure the success of this project. The primary focus will be to shape the data so that it can be used in one congruent database and therefore must be manipulated and shaped to fit one format. Once the data has been shaped and confirmed to be in one format we will use Manifold to create and establish an internet database and create online maps for the website.
