DATA STRUCTURING

Order from Chaos

Creating or restructuring geographic databases, either graphic or placenames, or perhaps establishing an information archive can be achieved through a logical appraisal of data and its subsequent uses.

• Review - assessment of database content and its intended uses
  
  
• Logical Structuring - identifying the fields of information that need capturing, based on usage, and organising them systematically within the database
  
  
• Data Capture - ensuring data captured is effectively categorised and meets quality standards before entering the database
  
  
• Database Revision - feeding new material into the database within the existing structure
  
  
• Archiving - establishing logical and easy to use archive systems for information resources and materials
