Data Assembly
Civic addressing information from various sources, both hard copy and
digital, tabular and graphic were assembled and integrated with appropriate
components of various corporate datasets, including the Nova Scotia Coodinate
Referencing System (NSCRS), the Nova Scotia Topographic Database (NSTDB)
and the Nova Scotia Property Records Database (NSPRD), among others. The
assembled data was then integrated into GIS software for use in field
vehicles.
Field Verification / Collection
Private contractors travelled the province to record or confirm civic addressing
information for every visible civic addressable structure or entity in the province. Additional
information, such as number of dwelling units and building use, was also
assigned to each geo-referenced building "point". Road names and aliases were
assigned to centreline geometry. Spatial information about newly constructed
buildings and roads were captured during the field exercise using global
positioning system (GPS) technology.
Rigorous quality assurance procedures have been employed to inspire the
highest level of confidence in the resulting data.
