| Originator | Ramsey County |
| Abstract | This data set contains polygons that represent Municipal boundaries. The Municipal [CITIES] boundaries were originally digitized from MNDOT municipality maps. In 1995, the parcel data layer was converted to ArcINFO format and held in the ArcStorm data base. Cities were converted in 2005 to an ESRI ArcGIS GeoDatabase. Over time, the municipal boundaries have been edited to better match the parcel data maintained by the county. |

| Section 2 | Data Quality Information | Top of full metadata | Top of page | |
| Attribute Accuracy | Attributes held within the GIS graphical data base are entered by GIS personnel utilizing manual or semi-automated methods. Check plots are produced periodically to verify the consistency of the source data. | |||
| Logical Consistency | Graphical elements are topologically clean. Over shoots and undershoots are not permitted. Parcel gaps and overlaps are analyzed in a case by case basis. Generally boundaries conflicting in position by less than 1 foot are dissolved into a single line giving precedence to Senior and Junior property boundaries. | |||
| Completeness | Entire Ramsey County coverage | |||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | Digitized information is generally ± 7 feet; some areas have been found to be ± 30 feet. COGO (coordinate geometry) accuracy generally is ± 1.0 foot. | |||
| Lineage | PROCEDURE: This layer contains digitized parcel information. MAP SOURCE: Digitized from 1 inch = 200 feet 1/2 section maps. ACCURACY: Digitized information is generally ± 7 feet; some areas have been found to be ± 30 feet. COGO (coordinate geometry) accuracy generally is ± 1.0 foot. PROJECTION: Ramsey County Coordinate System |
