Abstract
The Best of Both Worlds: Vector Conflation of Database Segments and AttributesTrack: Electric and Gas
Author(s): Alan Witmer
Conflation technology offers a cost-effective, efficient method of combining the best attributes of separate vector databases. Using GDT's proprietary conflation technology as a case study, this presentation will discuss how conflation techniques can assist in migrating a utility's facilities data from an existing land base onto a new land base. The presentation will provide an in-depth discussion of the challenges of matching elements within two distinct data bases, the hurdles that must be overcome, and the benefits of using conflation technology. The presentation will also highlight quality control issues such as preliminary database analysis and postconflation QC processes.
