GIS and Parcel Mapping: Georeferencing, Edgematching, and Annotation in the City of Philadelphia

This symposium discusses the process of georeferencing, edgematching, and annotation in GIS and parcel mapping in the City of Philadelphia. It covers the historical context, timeline, and advancements made in the department of records. The symposium showcases the use of orthophotography, planimetrics, and edgematching techniques to create accurate and annotated parcel maps. The citywide integration of map sheets and the expanded usability of GIS software are emphasized. Various city agencies and initiatives have leveraged these technologies for licenses, inspections, planning, redevelopment, and housing authority purposes.
