Stage 3: Data Standardization

For easier manipulation in some feature data layers (i.e. performing INTERSECT in ARC/Info), all feature layers were converted to Arc/Info coverage format through AML script. Data was projected according to the Universal Transversal Mercator (UTM) Zone 10 NAD 83 coordinate system. The metadata created for the final dataset in the data model was based on the FGDC (Federal Geographic Data Committee)/ESRI metadata structure in ArcCatalog because of its use by the ICIS (Integrated Cadastre Information Society that distributes the ICI database).
