| Abstract | This data set primarily contains buildings with an area of 80 square feet or greater. Structure outlines are derived from aerial photography observation and interpretation utilizing stereo processing techniques. Vector line work was originally stereo plotted from 2003 photography. All graphical lines contain a character based a layer name that identify the different mapping features. The flight height for the aerial photography utilized in this project is approximately 5000 feet. The mapping scale for aerial photography utilized in this project is 1 inch equals 833 feet. |

| Section 2 | Data Quality Information | Top of full metadata | Top of page | |
| Attribute Accuracy | Feature attributes are identified using analytical and softcopy photogrammetric compilation methods. Automated GIS processes supplement the photo identified feature attributing with the numerical parameters. | |||
| Logical Consistency | Graphical elements are topologically clean as the majority of the linework is intended to create closed boundaries or polygons. The linework represents physical features existing at the time of data collection. The aerotriangulation solutions, model set-ups, existing DEM reference models, and the ground control assured the integrity of the spatial relationships among the planimetric, drainage, and road features collected. |
|||
| Completeness | All features of this type photogrammetrically identifiable within the Ramsey County coverage are included. | |||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | Analytical Aerial Triangulation Summary Date: 05-30-03. This data meets or exceeds the National Map Accuracy Standard (NMAS) - 1/30 of 1 inch at map scale. | |||
| Vertical Positional Accuracy | Not Applicable as it pertains to a two-dimensional Arc/INFO Coverage. However, during feature compilation the vertical accuarcy meets NMAS - 1/6000 of flight height above mean terrain. | |||
| Lineage | Color aerial photography and airborne GPS used for aerotriangulation. Aerotrianglution solution used with analytical and soft-copy Stereo plotters to collect limited planimetric feature. LIDAR DEM provide by Ramsey County under separate contract with Waggoner Inc. of Jackson, Mississippi was used to create digital ortho images. Update made to correct trapped polygons associated with downtown Saint Paul skyways. |
