                  • What did you do?
                  • Captured Framework partners' cadastral data business requirements
                  • Created a new Oracle/SDE cadastral data model based on FGDC standards
                  • Developed FGDC compliant metadata and Oracle data dictionary to generate Web pages
                  • Converted/converting DNR data (POCA, PLS-PT, MPL) to the cadastral data model
                  • Distributed initial framework data and metadata to partners via the Internet using ArcView Internet Map Server
                  • Developing data agreements with framework partners

                                  • Lessons Learned On Development:

                                      • Start small
                                      • Put out draft proposals and prototype applications to get feedback from partners
                                      • Break requirements sessions into small focus groups and peer review frequently
                                      • Keep flexible on hardware and software, look for the partners' common denominator
                                      • Start prototyping as soon as basic data requirements are known, continue to refine the model after testing
