Abstract


Integrating Geographic Data in a Tax Assessment System
Track: Database Design, Automation, and Management
Author(s): Kris Peterson

This paper presents the integration of spatial data with the Assessment and Taxation System for Kitsap County, Washington. The design was intended to eliminate data discrepancies associated with multiple versions of data in different systems, provide the ability to query and maintain both spatial and nonspatial data from anywhere in the system, and increase overall performance in serving spatial data to diverse client applications. An intersect table containing denormalized data is used at the core of the integration. This technique shifts the workload to data maintenance and increases data query performance.
