Extractions: Online Services Privacy Accessibility Security Introduction Definitions FAQ Resources ... Index Many GIS beginners become frustrated from all of the acronyms and abbreviations that are used. GIS novices often do not know what the acronyms stand for, so it is difficult for them to understand the concepts. The following table was developed to serve as a reference guide to acronyms and abbreviations commonly used in Arkansas GIS language. For further reading, several links to other GIS acronym sites are listed below the table. Acronym Definition Description ACF Arkansas Centerline File Program Program designed to create a more accurate representation of road centerlines available to the public. ADOP Arkansas Digital Ortho Program Program designed to create updated statewide aerial photography for Arkansas.
