Conflation Review at the Census Bureau
Track: Census
Authors: Mike Clements, Kevin Hawley

A crucial step in the U.S. Census Bureau’s conflation process is a review of automatically generated proposals prior to uploading them to the MAF/TIGER database. In order to facilitate an efficient and complete review and editing of the proposals, the Census Bureau developed the Conflation Proposals Review Tool (CPRT) as an ArcGIS Add-In. The CPRT identifies potential problems with the proposals, guides the user through the proposals, and allows the user to accept or reject each proposal.
