Now what’s all this
fuss about?

social and economic benefit of British Columbia
GOAL
Get data from contributing members without muss or fuss
CHALLENGES…
189 jurisdictions no data model different sources Different capabilities Membership Buy in
…CHALLENGES
“One to many” “Many to one” time to listen False starts Consistency Currency
WHAT?
We’re packin’ FME… the data will never know what hit ‘em!
DGeoShare, Defined

(The ‘D’ is silent… it stands for ‘Data’)
GeoShare, Geographically
146 conduits Weekly
transmission > 1.3 million
parcels over 136/188 jurisdictions
> 1 million addresses over 138/188 jurisdictions
GeoShare, Schematically Extract from 188 providers Transform to standard Load cadastre and address DBs
Publishing Parcels and Addresses
Open Data Catalogs ModelBuilder > FTP for ESRI
back-ends FME > FTP for others
Once a week, please! FME Server checks for
updates Initiates update processes
for new data Emails administrators for
stale data
Integrating Parcels
Inherit standardized attribution from GeoBC
Otherwise, best-guess model mapping
One jurisdiction, one custodian
Individual records are never rejected
Integrating Addresses
Best-guess model mapping Parsing STREET NAME, NUMBER
TYPE minimally
Conversion to point locations Spatial jurisdiction check
GeoShare QC
FME mails you the results Link to failed features Link to process
documentation At-a-glance statistics = data improvements
over time!
HOW?
But it takes more than
just shiny tools to get
the job done!
It all starts and ends with Apple Pie!!
