Ramsey County Property Identification Number Annotation (Par_Anno)

This page last updated: 07/12/2005
Metadata created using Minnesota Geographic Metadata Guidelines


Metadata Summary

Originator Ramsey County
Abstract Par_Anno contains textual descriptive information about parcel features. In 1986, the annotation data layer was created from hand drawn 1:2400 half and 1:1200 quarter section maps. In 1995, the textual information was converted to an ArcINFO annotation class and held in the ArcStrom data base. The annotation data layer was converted in 2005 to an ESRI ArcGIS GeoDatabase.

Within the ArcInfo annotation class there were three subclasses. The 'parcel' subclass contains information about parcels that was gathered from plats, Registered Land Surveys (RLSs) and other recorded documents; it contains text items such as lot and block numbers, plat names and parcel identifiers. The 'road' subclass contains public road names, generally classified as Federal, State, County or Municipal road names. The 'water' subclass contains text items for lakes, rivers and creeks.

With the conversion to an ArcGIS GeoDatabase, the 'parcel' subclass was further divided. Par_Anno includes the last 4-digits of the unique property identification number (PIN) for parcels & the PIN range for CIC properties.

Purpose The annotation data set is primarily utilized for map creation.

Text features contained within this data set add value to visual presentations making underlying data easier to interpret and understand. Features held in this database are utilized in the automated creation of half and quarter section maps.

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 a combination of digitized parcel information and parcel data rectified utilizing positions calculated with COGO programs.

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
Source Scale Denominator 2400
