AbstractAutomated Conflation with Validation Track: Database Design, Automation, and Management Author(s): Stanley Dallal ESEA's conflation system (ECS) automates the process of transferring attributes from one vector data set to another. Although ECS automates the majority of conflation work, there is often some amount of manual data editing necessary to correct conflation errors. The bulk of the labor costs are associated with this manual cleanup effort even though over 90% of a conflation job may be completed with ECS. A tool that helps reduce the time it takes to cleanup the data will significantly increase productivity. ESEA has developed an ArcMap extension that does automated data validation for quality assurance. This paper describes preliminary results applying the validation system to data produced with automated conflation.
