2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 Migrating a Large Dataset to a Personal Geodatabase Track: Database Design, Automation, and Management Author(s): Billie Leff Most people are familiar with a product such as the National Geographic World Atlas, but few are aware of the GIS intricacies behind the printed plates. Join us in a journey from the recently antiquated coverage format to the jazzy geodatabase format for this cartographic product. We will take a look at some of the challenges we were faced with and some of the solutions we have developed. Would we recommend the process? Definitely, but unless you are Indiana Jones, with innate intuition about the safe route, come find out about the boards/rocks that you CAN step on.
