Introduction
The foundation of every geographic information and automated mapping system is the database. The process of creating a database from source information is commonly called data conversion. Almost without exception, source data must undergo some form of conversions in order to support your intended application. Therefore, data conversion is essential before you can realize anticipated benefits from the system.
As a rule of thumb, data conversion typically counts for 50% of the cost and effort of a GIS project. The conversion phase is usually a onetime event in the life cycle of a GIS project or program and is the best effort we put forth.
The source data may be in many different forms, such as hardcopy maps, microfiche, photographs, notebooks, or digital records. GIS hardware and software change quickly, but the fundamental concepts of data conversion remain relatively constant.
Properly converted data will provide a solid foundation for GIS analysis enabling you to realize the anticipated benefits of the system. Historically, some projects have failed to meet expectations because of the failure to deal with conversion issues. What works in one set of circumstances may not in a different set of circumstances.
Long-term Data Maintenance
Long-term data maintenance is vital to successful GIS implementation, and maintenance must be developed as part of the data conversion plan. Maintaining and managing a data set secures its integrity.
