The New Mexico State Land Office (NMSLO) currentlymaintains attribute information about spatial locations within a non-spatialmainframe database, developed originally to manage oil and gas financials.Adapting this system for right-of-way (ROW) data poses several challenges. ROWspatial location can be represented only by Public Land Survey Systemdescriptors, and not by the actual survey description. This database cannotreadily accommodate changes within its schema and cannot be made spatiallyaware. NMSLO required a new, GIS-centric model to resolve these challenges.ESRI’s Parcel Fabric dataset was determined as the best solution. Parcel Fabriccaptures many aspects of business processes within legal documents, planinformation, legal descriptions, and ability to reference surveyed points.Parcel Fabric also supports schema changes, subtypes and geoprocessing, andhistory. Additionally, ESRI’s Production Mapping was deployed to manage thedata lifecycle, empowering managers and technicians by combining both business and spatial processes of a ROW.
