Methodological and Operational Problems


Turbine 7This project as I'm sure is the case with many others, had its problems and challenges as is to be expected.  Firstly it was a challenge to find appropriate data for my original project concept.  In the end the scope had to be rethought.  Once the data had been settled on, the next difficulties were met when it came to understanding what the data actually was.  This is because the original source data was Trim Data, and therefore, some of the file names seemed somewhat encoded.  So definitions of Trim Data file names was required.  Following this, the next problems which arose came in the learning of FME Translator to be able to translate the ESRI shapefiles into IDRISI vector files.  It took a few tries to be certain that the new versions were all using the same reference.  In the end they were all converted to use US83tm10.  Once they were all based on the same reference system most of the issues were easily dealt with.
