Some project ideas:

Reminder - Deliverables

• Lineage statement : source materials and transformations to arrive at current state
• Test Report : perform one of the four kinds of tests
  • Positional Accuracy : needs source of higher accuracy OR fieldwork
  • Attribute Accuracy : fieldwork or airphotos...
  • Logical Consistency : software? (get creative)
  • Completeness : another source OR fieldwork
• Fitness Statement : pick a potential use

Look at some Clearinghouse sites:

• Olympic Natural Resources Center Clearinghouse
• WAGDA
• King County metadata (at WAGDA password protected; metadata resource)
• City of Seattle (data layers) ; metadata (at WAGDA password protected too; GeoGuide)
• EROS Data Center (USGS) Sioux Falls SD; some of their data products.
• Puget Sound LIDAR Consortium (as source of higher accuracy?)

Previous Projects:

• Service work for Olympic National Forest (link not live right now)
• Sanborn Atlas
• City of Seattle (many layers)
  • shoreline [positional / completeness by kayak/ boat]
• Mount Rainier National Park trail coverage [all tests]
• Whistler/Blackcomb [attribute accuracy test of trail classification and signage]
• Thomas Brothers Street Maps (source Z; lineage may be hard) [attribute accuracy, completeness]
• USGS DLG data (or DEMs)
• Material from an internship or prior project
  • SeaTac Airport signage [completeness/ attribute accuracy]
  • Snohomish voter registration database (street segments) [completeness, attribute accuracy]

460 Exercise materials

The metadata is pretty inadequate, isn't it...

Your ideas?
