This was a presentation I originally prepared back in 2005, but is probably even more applicable in 2009 given the impact using a GIS tool can have on visualizing data quality – customer addresses on a map! The next time you conduct a customer “data” assessment – try this!

Spatial data layers and conflation September 18, 2007
Posted by Peter Benza in Data Accuracy, Data Elements, Data Formats, Data Types, Data Visualization.add a comment
Conflation is more than matching features from different spatial sources. A good spatial-matching technology that includes conflation as a parameter should also be defined by location, the shapes attributes, and its relationships to other objects.
A good example of this is when two or more road networks have conflicting views – how do you proceed, if you end up only wanting to display one of the sources?
What geometrical matching techniques or advice do you have on this topic?
