Extractions: A Prototype for USGS's The National Map The most common problem people have when creating or viewing a map is currentness of the geographic information. Data producing agencies usually maintain their databases on an as-needed or continual basis. When the real world changes, those changes are reflected in the digital database. However, by the time this database gets to the user, the information is nearly always out of date. Is it possible for the user to access this real-time database? In cases where the user may have some knowledge that can improve the existing database, is it possible for the user to get that information back to the appropriate agency? If so, how? Another prominent issue facing the geographic data user is the enormous amount of information available today. For instance, a researcher at the University of Delaware is studying population movement within the State. A quick search on the Web for transportation data reveals numerous options. Digital data of the roads in Delaware can be obtained from the Delaware Department of Transportation, U.S. Census Bureau's TIGER/Line files, United States Geological Survey (USGS) digital line graphs (DLG), or a number of private companies that charge a fee for a more accurate and current data set. How does the researcher select a data source without spending countless hours reading through metadata? Furthermore, can the researcher be sure that the roads data set will align properly with other data sets needed for the study such as local boundaries, land use areas, or water features?
