PrintProject 8: Mapping Charlottesville, Part II
A. Project Overview
In the last project, you digitized streets in Charlottesville, VA circa 1920 using a set of Sanborn maps. For Project 8, I’d like you to return to the Sanborn map scenario. Imagine that you've been tasked with leading a team of four editors in capturing the building footprints found on Sanborn maps for a different point in time (say 1950). Your job for Project 8 is to draft a workflow that outlines how you and your team will digitize the building features using versioned editing. Describe how you would lead the development of this 1950 buildings feature class as the dbo superuser. Include in your workflow all of the steps you would follow from the initial creation of the feature class to the incorporation of each editor’s work into the final product. Assume that there are 30 individual scanned map sheets, like the four you saw in Lesson 7, and that your company has told the client that it will take a total of 2000 person-hours to perform the digitizing and to compile the attribute data from all 30 maps. In other words, each editor will have to engage in multiple data-entry sessions.
Note: Recall that you were given the 1920 building footprints in shapefile format for Project 7. You may assume that this dataset is available to you in Project 8 as well.
B. Deliverables
This project is one week in length. Please refer to the Canvas Calendar for the due date.
- Submit a workflow that includes all of the steps you see as necessary to complete the described project. Your submission will be graded as follows:
- Quality of workflow: 70 of 100 points
- Quality of write-up, in terms of grammar, spelling, and flow: 30 of 100 points
- Complete the Lesson 8 quiz.
