 California Public Lands Geodatabase: A Collaborative Statewide Data Maintenance Process Track: Database Design, Automation, and Management Author(s): Dean Angelides, Kristina Kamichaitis, Michael Byrne, Ray McDowell The California Legacy Project provides tools and information to help protect and restore California's natural resources and working landscapes. GIS is central to this initiative, facilitating the development and dissemination of information used to guide resource conservation decisions-for state agencies, local governments, and community-based groups. One of Legacy's important GIS datasets is the Public, Conservation and Trust Lands (PCTL). Traditionally maintained in ArcInfo coverage format, the Legacy Project supported the development and implementation of an ArcGIS geodatabase model for the PCTL dataset. The multi-user editing environment, topography tools, and more efficient data management capabilities have decreased the update process from months to weeks. This paper explores the institutional and technical components of this collaborative effort, which has brought State and Federal agencies, local governments and non-profit groups together create a single, comprehensive, and current dataset of public lands in California.
