Embedded Metadata--Quality Control with the Dot Probability Paradigm and ArcQC Author: Michael Kennedy 1451 Patterson Tower Phone: 606-272-1400 This paper describes work supported by a grant from Esri and the Center for Mapping at Ohio State University. Software will be described and demonstrated that responds to (1) the problems of lack of quality control in GIS data and (2) the lack of the ability of polygon systems to represent fuzzy edges between homogeneous areas. The software, informally dubbed ArcQC (for quality control), is a prototype based on the dot probability paradigm described in the Esri User Conference proceedings of 1996 (available on the Esri Web site). |
