Cartography | 031 | Expressing graphically, usually through maps, the natural and social features of the earth. | | | | | Must demonstrate knowledge and experience with digital and/or hard copy map design, map projections, cartographic standards, map book generation and output/presentation methods. | | Eric Wilson, 410-302-1325, egwilson1@ncdot.gov |
Data Conversion | 087 | Perform data translation from one spatial format (this includes hard and soft copy sources) to another. | | | | | Must demonstrate knowledge and experience with different geographic data formats, database formats, geographic/database conversion software, geographic/database conversion coding and spatial data transfer standards (SDTS). | | Eric Wilson, 410-302-1325, egwilson1@ncdot.gov |
Data Validation (QA/QC) | 088 | Verify the quality of a spatial product during and/or after its production. This includes the following key elements: Completeness; Validity; Logical Consistency; Physical Consistency; Referential Integrity; Positional Accuracy. | | | | | Must demonstrate knowledge and experience with QA/QC processes/methods and data validation procedures. | | Eric Wilson, 410-302-1325, egwilson1@ncdot.gov |
Field Data Collection | 094 | Plan, manage and execute the spatial acquisition of natural and social features. | | | | | Must demonstrate knowledge and experience with spatial data collection including the use of hardware (GPS receivers, hand held computers, pen-based computers, digital cameras, laser instruments) and data collection/mapping software. | | Eric Wilson, 410-302-1325, egwilson1@ncdot.gov |
Remote Sensing Data | 189 | Collection and interpreting information about the environment and the surface of the earth from a distance, primarily by sensing radiation that is naturally emitted or reflected by the earth’s surface or from the atmosphere, or by sensing signals transmitted from a device and reflected back to it. Examples include aerial photography, radar and satellite imaging. | | | | | Must demonstrate knowledge and experience with remote sensing images acquired from aircraft, satellites or ground bases, or platforms using visual or computer assisted technology. | | Eric Wilson, 410-302-1325, egwilson1@ncdot.gov |
