DATA DICTIONARY ASSIGNMENT #1 FOR 4/23/97

University of Utah, Topics in Geography, Spring Quarter 1997

GEOG393-593 GPS – GIS 

Thank you , Chuck Gilbert of Trimble Navigation for these examples.

Hand in (on 4/23/97) a one-page evaluation-comparison of at least the two data dictionaries. How do they differ in purpose, approach and structure? Do you see any specific problems or clever ideas incorporated in these dictionaries?

Connect to PCLab; log in; connect to Geog593; open Pathfinder Office.

File >> Open (under geog593, local apps, trimble, pfdata)

Compare and evaluate at least two data dictionaries:
