Data Conversion: GIS datasets are geographically referenced which allows the data to be converted to other coordinate bases. Lincoln County also converts most other data types and formats into our GIS. Also, tabular data can be converted to and from a variety of data formats. The County uses ARCGIS as our GIS software and provides data to others in ESRI standard export formats. Ability to integrate with other databases and information systems: The County identifies key fields or data elements needed to support sharing of data sets and incorporates them in our GIS datasets whenever practical to promote integration. The County will also provide tools for users that will download data in specific database/software formats. Meta Data and Data dictionary Practices Currently, the County has minimal metadata information on existing datasets and feature classes. As the County migrates its data to a new ArcGIS SDE database metadata will be developed at the feature class and feature dataset level. Municipal Data Integration Process The County currently is looking to integrate the City of Merrill into its Enterprise SDE database, and has also designed the system for other municipal logins such as the City of Tomahawk. The current process is to request data from the municipalities and to store it on a local drive or to import it into our SDE database for use. Public Access and Website Information The County currently has public access computer terminals available to the public for searching tabular property ownership data from the tax database in the Register of Deeds Office and Tax Listing Department. The County is currently maintaining an ESRI ArcIMS site of unknown vintage that serves as the only website for mapping or GIS data. In 2016 the County will be developing and implementing web services and websites to make the GIS data easily accessible to the public via the County Website. The County continues to improve internet access to spatial and tabular land information as technology advances. We will continue to monitor developments of the WLIP Internet Land Information Clearinghouse.
