Survey Management and Measurement Management

Measurement Management 1 Integrated maintenance of cadastral data is made much more efficient when geometry can be shared. Interpretation of (1) the reliability of each point position and (2) where data editing is needed. New data can be added, and data elements that do not contribute to the optimal solution can be removed. Any area can be selected and readjusted, e.g. to update point positions affected by newly-added data. Provides the foundation for the legal description and parcel fabric tiers.

Parcel Management

Provides a process for managing land records and cadastral feature data stored in the database model. Provides custom feature classes, tools, and procedures for editing land records in a transactional, history-tracking environment. Allows users to construct and edit legal description fabrics and to create required parcel fabrics from them. Parcel fabrics may include ownership, land use rights, tax assessment, and others.
