Concepts
The following are some examples of GIS design concepts that Sidwell has implemented in different jurisdictions. These data models have been utilized for mapping parcels, administrative boundaries (districts, zoning), utilities and infrastructure inventories.
Coincident Boundary Model |
Parcel Fabric |
Local Government Information Model |
