What We Learned about Data Transfer

Metadata presents a myriad of complexities Promotion of naming convention standards. Orthoimagery poses a storage challenge Data preparation and transfer is time consuming. Data transfer requires detailed planning Each state’s data is distinctly different Current geospatial formats have both benefits and

drawbacks. Additional “non-geospatial” formats created obstacles. Each of the data transfer methodologies had its own set

of issues. Training on geospatial software for the archives is

essential.
