Work Task 5- Pilot This work task validates and verifies the software applications and procedures and standards that had been established in Work Tasks 1-4. This is where selection of the most advantageous approach to source document utilization and data collection methods are made. The Pilot also provides insight into the accuracy of the existing landbase data that would be used as the foundation for the system. One of the pilot sub-tasks includes the creation of the Mapping Standards Document. This document describes;

Mapping symbolism that is used on all existing documents
Modernization of the symbols as suggested by the users

Also included in this work task is the design and development of the conversion system. It is here that production procedures for capturing both graphic and attribute data accurately and efficiently are established. A “mini-test” is conducted using new symbology against old for a comparison.
