Definitions Authority, Authoritative Source: comes directly
from the creator/source.
Data Stewards and Authoritative Data: Data Steward is the entity within the organization responsible for creating, maintaining and providing the authoritative data.
Trusted Data: published data from a trusted source. The authoritative source is in agreement with the trusted source to serve the data.
Definitions continued
Parcel: the smallest unit of geography as viewed in land management. Known rights and interests.
Production Data: data managed in an organization’s production environment for the purpose of carrying out daily business operations.
Publication Data: a subset of the Production Data. Can be imported into another system.
Definitions continued
Standard: a recommended, mutually beneficial model that if widely used, and will greatly facilitate inter-connectivity and inter-operability among organizations.
Owner: person or entity that has legal rights and interest associated with the property and the ability to pass on those rights and interest through sale, exchange, or donation.
Definition: Approved Acquisition Definition: Approved Acquisition boundary boundaryThe line(s) enclosing those lands that <agency>
has authority to acquire, in whole or in part. This boundary often encompasses both public and private land, but does not imply that all private parcels within the boundary are targeted for our acquisition .
Variety/Combinations of possible approvals:Executive Order Agency Director Congressional Order Secretarial Order Public Land Order
Definition: Interest boundaryDefinition: Interest boundary
The line(s) enclosing those lands for which <agency> has fee or less than fee interest.
Also known as: <unit> Boundary, Status Boundary, Parcel Layer
Interview Questions
Authority of Agency: Generally, what is the authority or regulations that define
the surface and subsurface management areas for the Agency?
In which situation is the Agency charged with land management, Congressional designation, land act, etc.
Surface Management / Parcel Mapping Status:How many regions or areas?How many total parcels?
General statistics on the extent of land managed by the Agency
Interview Questions continued
Production Environment Parcel Mapping Infrastructure
Inside the Agency, what are the programs and status of the automated mapping of land management areas and parcels?
Interagency Parcel Mapping and Data Sharing
What is the status of the sharing of this information within the Agency?
Are other groups within the Agency able to access and use the parcel data?
http://www.nationalcad.org/
Interview Questions continued
Interagency Parcel Mapping and Data Sharing What is the status of data sharing among other federal
agencies or with other governmental entities such as states or counties?
Public Parcel Mapping and Data Sharing (with the Public) What is the status of data publication for public
consumption? References and Resources
Background information and online linkages to data publishing web sites
http://www.nationalcad.org/
Observations Production Systems: Most agencies provide public
access to their parcel data. Internal access to more detailed/sensitive data.
Federal Core Parcel Data: consistencies among agencies; will be possible to identify core attributes.
Case Serial Record Number: BLM number is a possible index to authoritative source.

BLM manages approximately 240 million acres of surface fee estate; 700 million of subsurface.
Approximately 75% of available PLSS data in the BLM has been established and is, or soon will be, available in the standardized PLSS data sets.
Land ownership has been mapped for all of the western U.S. but its accuracy and completeness have not been verified. The Land and Mineral Status Portfolio is reviewing and updating this info. A completed inventory is scheduled for late summer 2011.

An installation can have multiple sites.Site – collections of land-based parcels the DoD has an interest in. Contiguous parcels make up a site. 4,429 total.
Navy: 90% installation data completed
Air Force: 80% installation data completed

The scope of the Civil Works Missions for the Corps of Engineers for this discussion is continental U.S. and land holdings not structures (dams, towers, levees etc), buildings or leases (there are not a lot of leases).

310 Reservations 564 Federally recognized tribes 56 million acres of surface estate 57 million acres of subsurface
Boundary definition faces challenges because the boundaries are a patchwork of tribal lands and in-holdings within the reservations. The historic boundaries are defined in treaties and Congressional statues.
Boundary files are being collected on a project-by-project basis. BIA has a long-standing MOU with Census on data sharing. However, the issue is always the same – the quality and lineage of the representation.
Tribes are far ahead of BIA in GIS applications.

Develop and implement a sustainable and efficient review strategy that identifies and corrects topology or attribute errors to improve authoritative source data
Begin with FWS and NPS data, followed by BLM
