Good Afternoon,
Tomorrow during our annual meeting we will be voting to adopt a new
Trail Data Standard for the state.
The draft schema and GDB can be found on our website at
https://ctgis.uconn.edu/standards/
.
The standard was developed through coordination between the Standards Committee, UConn, and the CT Trail Census. It was based off the trail schema originally
developed by the Northwest Hills Council of Governments.
By utilizing a data standard, agencies will be able to collect data in a way that trail datasets can be seamlessly merged across the state. Standardized trail data will have multiple uses for towns, COGs, the state and others including
the CT Trail Finder website (in development).
Tomorrow the Standards Committee will be providing additional details and then we will hold a vote to formally adopt it. Hopefully, this will be the
first of many statewide standards that are developed and shared through the GIS Network and ultimately increase the ability for data aggregation.
Thanks again for everyone’s hard work putting this together!
Mark
