The shapefile is converted to SDC (Smart Data Compression) format using either ESRI SDC Data Development Kit Professional 2 (DDKP2) or tools in ArcGIS. The SDC data set is then loaded into ArcSDE to verify and validate the geometry.
After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials.
The positional accuracy matches or is better than the positional accuracy of the Census TIGER/Line coordinates. The positional accuracy of the TIGER/Line coordinates at best is +/- 167 feet.
