6. How does the data set represent geographic features?

    

   1. How are geographic features stored in the data set?

      This is a Point data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):

      • Entity point (4769)

       

   2. What coordinate system is used to represent geographic features?

      The map projection used is Double Stereographic.

       

      Projection parameters:

      Planar coordinates are encoded using coordinate pair
      Abscissae (x-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 0.000512
      Ordinates (y-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 0.000512
      Planar coordinates are specified in meters

       

      The horizontal datum used is D_North_American_1983_CSRS98.
      The ellipsoid used is Geodetic Reference System 80.
      The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.000000.
      The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257222.

Why was the data set created?

To provide access to PEI's Survey Reference System by providing permanent reference points with coordinate values, elevations, status, and related information. This system also provides access to the Canadian Spatial Reference System.

How was the data set created?

1. From what previous works were the data drawn?

    

   (source 1 of 1)

   Land Registration and Information Service.

    

   Other_Citation_Details:

   Geodetic surveys completed over a 30 year period on over 4000 monuments and other permanent reference points, reduced and adjusted at one time by the Land Registration and Information Service, now coordinated by the office of the Chief Surveyor of Prince Edward Island.

    

2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

    

   (process 1 of 1)

   Dataset copied.

   Data sources used in this process:

    

3. What similar or related data should the user be aware of?

    

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

1. How well have the observations been checked?

    

    

2. How accurate are the geographic locations?

   Relative positional accuracy 5 to 7 centimetres. Absolute positional accuracy 50 ppm.

    

3. How accurate are the heights or depths?

    

    

4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?

    

    

5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?

    

How can someone get a copy of the data set?

Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
