Some project ideas:

Reminder - Deliverables

  • Lineage statement : source materials and transformations to arrive at current state
  • Test Report : perform one of the four kinds of tests
    • Positional Accuracy : needs source of higher accuracy OR fieldwork
    • Attribute Accuracy : fieldwork or airphotos...
    • Logical Consistency : software? (get creative)
    • Completeness : another source OR fieldwork
  • Fitness Statement : pick a potential use

Look at some Clearinghouse sites:
