To be useful throughout an enterprise, database contents must be accurate. Insuring spa-tial accuracy in a GIS database requires special expertise in survey positioning and data management techniques. The overall accuracy of a GIS database is no better than its least-accurate data layer.
Mapping Automation has been involved in the delivery of high-accuracy GIS databases since 1984. Key to the company's continuing success is the use of measurement-based data: geospatial data based on record source docu-ments, tied to authoritative field survey observations.
Mapping Automation operates as a cyberconsultancy. A core technical management and ad-ministrative staff coordinate the work-ings of specialized partners located across the world. For each client en-gagement, a unique project team is assembled and connected through Internet collaboration tools.
Mapping Automation's Principal Consultant, Rudy Stricklan, will deliver a pre-sentation on graph data-bases and their application to GIS at the AGIC Education and Training Symposium in September, 2018. An exact date will be published when available.
