Land Parcel Data Management Solution

Benefits

• Confident decision-making – Complete, accurate, and up-to-date data is essential for performing verifiable real property tax assessments, land development (e.g., for code enforcement, zoning, and permitting), and so many more uses. The solution has automated validation checks (rules) configured to ensure that parcel data is decision-ready.
• Automation for more efficient and effective data cleansing - Once the data has been validated, our solution provides a spatial report back to the end user to bring into their system of choice. This report becomes another layer in their database and serves to guide the end user to each of the issues, pinpointing their exact location and what rule was broken, making cleanup up much easier and more thorough. Further, should the user desire, the solution can utilize the same business rule constructs established to locate anomalies to auto-cleanse the data within user-specified tolerances, eliminating gaps, overlaps, and attribution errors.
• Automation for more reliable results – Manual processing of data leads to the subjectivity of the end user. Two people looking at the same issue can often arrive at very different solutions. Further, manual efforts are prone to typographical errors as well as the inability to identify (and fix) issues that are invisible to the naked eye. Automated rules based on business requirements eliminate the subjectivity as well as human input error.
• Rapid Processing – Manual data cleanup can be quite daunting as data is often riddled with errors which can require long periods of time to fix. The solution is underpinned by 1Integrate, 1Spatial's automated rules engine, that is designed to provide validation and/or cleansing of very large databases in a very performant manner, turning weeks or months of cleanup into hours or days.
• Data Maintenance – Once the data is clean, the solution can then be utilized to ensure it stays clean. As edits are performed, the solution can be used to make sure any changes made meet the business requirements, thereby ensuring a continually reliable and up-to-date database for solid decision-making.
• Configurable, not customized – As individual organizations have built their enterprise data on different technologies, data formats, schemas, etc., our solution is configurable to address those differences. Our no-code rules engine is data agnostic, performing checks on spatial as well as non-spatial data. Validations can be performed on individual databases as well as between different databases (cross-validation) to ensure quality not just in the individual components of the data enterprise but rather across the whole of the enterprise…ensuring a “steel-threaded” data enterprise that is aligned across all business units.
• Data Synchronization – Keeping parcel data in sync with other databases, such as address points and CAMA records, is crucial for data integrity/reliability. The solution ensures synchronization among these disparate datasets by performing cross-feature validations and ensuring consistency and alignment across different data sources.

Solution Overview

Parcel data are digital land boundaries that originate from deeds and surveys and contain attributes or characteristics of individual properties. Parcel data are not a land survey, but a reference index of property ownership. The data is critical in making decisions about land and understanding what happens on that piece of land. The data gives meaning and structure to location, spatial, and real estate information. It requires constant updating as land is subdivided or combined, ownership is transferred, easements are added, etc. Most organizations struggle to keep up with the vast task of managing this critical data set. Updating parcel splits, combines, and other transactions are required to ensure data currency and integrity. Further, there is the need to keep the parcel database in sync with other databases, such as address points and CAMA records. To add to the challenge, in many government entities, the department responsible for maintaining the address point and/or CAMA data differs from those responsible for updating the parcel data. Manually syncing and validating of these disparate datasets can be a day in and day out struggle. Additionally, when performed manually, these efforts can be time-consuming and very subjective. 1Spatial’s Land Parcel Data Management Solution is designed to take much of the pain and subjectivity out of this effort. Through automated data validation, data cleansing, data integration, and other crucial data management capabilities, the solution leverages 1Spatial’s web-based data portal, 1Data Gateway underpinned by our automated robust rules engine, 1Integrate.
