Land Records and GIS In support of property and project management


• Records custodian for property records (half a million) and maps (200K)

• 6 million supporting documents available offsite

• Conducts property research for all projects

• Over 150 years of records

• Uses technology tools

My Inspiration to Present at this Summit

• Work • Attending this summit last year • Reading/hearing from the works of individuals/groups like Curt Sumner (GIS), RJ Zimmer (GIS for Surveyors), Erik Gakstatter (GPS World), Land Records Meetup, GIS Janet/PLS Randy (Intersect series of PROFSURV), bloggers like Don Kuehne, Gordon Luckett, and many more

• Passionate in the use of GIS in providing geospatial solutions for the end users specially the AEC users in my company

GEOSPATIAL DATA PORTALS

LIMSGIS & LIMSGIS Mobile

Esri AEC 2014 .

Web Maps Similar concept as ArcGIS.COM

• Web Map use to share GIS content and documents among LIMSGIS users.

• Web created from the browser is accessible from its mobile version

• Can be shared and emailed


Esri AEC 2014 .

What’s stored on web maps Custom Web Map Viewer, Mobile component

• Map metadata • Pertinent layers to web map • Extent • Document hit list – search result


Esri AEC 2014 .

My Workspace Maps and Bookmarks

• Pop up window to store: - location bookmark - map bookmark - My favorite web maps - Shared maps - Group maps

• Important feature to use for LIMSGIS Mobile



GIS Integrated with Portals and Document Management System

Documents and Geospatial Data

Esri AEC 2014 .

Delivery Solutions - Documents LIMSGIS integrated with Onbase document management

• 200K maps & 500K document stored in Onbase

• Locating documents (Property and maps) by attributes

• Locating documents using GIS features (Attribute link)


Esri AEC 2014 .

End Goal Geolocate all documents - user clicks on a feature all documents associated to the feature are highlighted and identified


Esri AEC 2014 .

Geospatial data Data everywhere… the GIS analyst & the Records center are the data keepers

• Digital data all the way back from early-mid 90s - CAD, GIS, Controls, PLS-CADD,

• Aerial imagery of almost 30TB • Lidar data - NERC Alert data is 6TB • Is there a solution that fits all?


Esri AEC 2014 .

Geospatial data portal solutions We’ve tried Geoportal (Open), Erdas Apollo, Voyager Search and Portal for ArcGIS/ArcGIS.COM


Links to Portals

Esri AEC 2014 .

Geospatial data portals Use right clicks on LIMSGIS map view and clicks Voyager Search passing its center and view extent…Voyager filters results based on these parameters


Voyager parameters parsed in LIMSGIS using Voyager query parameters

VOYAGER SEARCH FEATURES

• Search filters • Arc Map Add-in • Works with all the geospatial data that we use – even FME

workspaces • Web integration API • Discovery tool – scheduled, watch, easy to use • Metadata extraction • Single sign-on, AD security enabled • Easy to install, easy to maintain… DB built-in • We’ve indexed more than 1.1million records



Building workflows and defining the purpose of the data and solutions

Meaningful Information

Esri AEC 2014 .

PROPERTIES, ENCUMBRANCES & RIGHTS Challenge – Even our data has a separation

• The suggested data format – how long ago?

• Difficult for the end users • Difficult to maintain • Compromise to get survey data into GIS

• Data will be distorted regardless

• We have to link these data with other non-GIS access databases


NON SURVEY LAYERS

SURVEY LAYERS

Esri AEC 2014 .

Needs and redefining the purpose of our data • Do we need use GIS to drive spatial accuracy? at least not yet. (Erik B.).

• If we have to, then we will ask our surveyors, mappers, researchers to come together to build and maintain parcel fabrics as part of our workflow.

• Workflows will help us define how we create and maintain these layers.

• Do not combine the purpose of data into one data set, e.g. - bulk property for both ownership and timber management - leased lots layers to view survey and non-survey (tax data) boundaries

• Our GIS data isused as a reference to retrieve project information & data. The boundary is used as a reference and a link & not to be used for deciding any property disputes.

• GIS will help answer property questions that are spatial in nature and to address the department’s mission – i.e. to manage projects and properties for the company that are pertinent to Land. – (Erik B.)


PROPERTIES, ENCUMBRANCES & RIGHTS

Esri AEC 2014 .

Solution - a new workflow for property transactions, rearranged the layers • WORKFLOW

• Data capture for property triggered when closing documents are received/Recorded in Onbase

• Parcel map/plats are used to generate boundaries using COGO or data conversion.

• PROPERTY DATA MODEL

• Properties group will be reduced to - Property Transaction – sold, donated, purchased - Fee Property - maintained from transaction layer - Bulk Property – maintained from transaction layer - Project Boundaries - linear

• Survey or non survey becomes an attribute, data/document source, method used (COGO, conversion from CAD or survey)


PROPERTIES LAYER

Esri AEC 2014 .

Easements Developed a workflow, conversion tool using ArcSDE, AutoCAD C3D & FME

• Needs/Requirements - Calling project parcels as easements is misleading - Get used to the term “project parcels” - Create GIS while project parcels are being surveyed and acquired and

not at the end of the construction - Mappers want to use their tool (CAD) – the words GIS, SDE, reconcile

and post gives them the shivers - Mappers want an Easy button

• Workflow analysis - Data capture for easement happens when a construction release form

is emailed.


Esri AEC 2014 .

Easements Developed a workflow, conversion tool using AutoCAD C3D, FME Desktop

• Workflow Solution - Tax parcel list with geometry is received from researchers - During the pre-construction survey, mappers use survey data to create new

project parcels based on scope - Mappers create the SDF in CAD. Run the conversion tool in FME - GIS Analysts QAs, reconcile and post in SDE - The process is iterated until a construction release form is created and some

project parcels are either converted to fee or acquired easements

• Toolset - a combination of data conversion within Civil 3d from civil objects to Autodesk’s SDF format – Mapguide format – and FME Desktop

Easements Solution - Using FME Desktop...deployed in Citrix…to be moved to FME Server
