Standard for Digital Parcels and Related Data Sets (Version 1.5.1)
- Updated November, 2004 -
MassGIS has
developed a standard for digital parcel files and related data sets in
order to:
-
Provide communities a flexible specification for developing a digital parcel
file suitable for use in a geographic information system (GIS). Because
text labeling and the creation of a master address file are integral to
extending the usefulness of a digital parcel file, portions of this standard
address the creation of those datasets.
-
Make it possible to merge digital property information from more than one
community for multi-town mapping and spatial analysis.
-
Be able to identify a single property parcel statewide based on a single
unique identifier.
-
Provide various levels of documentation.
-
Assure a minimum level of spatial accuracy.
Please note that this standard is NOT a general purpose standard
for traditional
printed parcel map sheets. This standard for spatial accuracy and
detail of property boundaries and related attribute information is for
developing digital versions of assessor’s property maps for use in
planning, property assessment, and graphic map display. However, there
is no intent to provide a standard for developing the authoritative
definition of property boundaries or to specify limits for legal
boundary determination or property conveyance purposes. Matters related
to those more definitive interests remain the purview of the
professional title attorney and/or professional land surveyor.
