Description:
Abstract:
This metadata applies to the following collection area(s): Essex County 2005 1m and related SLOPE datasets. Created using ArcGIS "SLOPE" command to produce change in elevation over the distance between the cell and its eight neighbors expressed in percent slope, i.e., rise/run * 100. This metadata complies with the VT Geodata Portal format and applies to thematic layers with the same resolution (RESCLASS), e.g., 0p7m, 1m etc., and may include multiple data "collection" efforts. For original vendor metadata and reports containing specific details on each data collection, e.g., 'point cloud' flight dates, nominal pulse spacing, RMSEz and more, navigate to https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BFtJiwqPrO5iJ_HeSS8TeSrP-6xDo7RI. NOTE: The QL2 (0.7m) collections FOCUS reports contain myriad collection details in report form. The equivalent for the older QL3 collections are generally the “Project Reports". For an overview of the "VCGI Lidar Program" please see "https://vcgi.vermont.gov/data-and-programs/lidar-program".
Purpose:
To provide Vermont with the best available, Lidar based DEM and derived datasets. The VCGI Lidar Program is a collaboration of both public and private interests working towards the common goal of full state Lidar coverage. Ultimately, each Lidar dataset becomes integrated with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) national data repository (3DEP abstract - https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1399/). Implemented in 2012 to address the growing need for high quality topographic data, the 3DEP absorbed its predecessor, the National Elevation Dataset (NED). Lidar in Vermont includes two "Elevation Quality Levels (QL)": "QL2" and "QL3" (See the "Resources: Lidar Data Quality Levels (QLs)" link for details at - "https://vcgi.vermont.gov/data-and-programs/lidar-program").

Process_Description:
Updated metadata format using VT GeoData Portal metadata template. Compressed, and tasked DBA to load into VGIS Data Warehouse. Reimported all original vendor data delivered in a tile format at contracted resolution to an updated naming convention (VIL Backend Design Document v.5). NOTE: This specifically applies to 2012 Bennington and 2008 & 2010 Missisquoi collections that were reimported to their original resolution of 2m and 1.6m, respectively, after being processed by VCGI/USM-SAL at 1.4m. Subsequent information from USGS clarified the need to reprocess.
