Master (read only) Edit Layer (“sandbox”) Base Map Layers (read only) Consideration may be given to enabling the “borrowing” of line work from base layers for work in the Edit layer Journal (change history, read only) Once acted on, suggested changes are removed from Edit layer and moved into the Journal layer Objects copied into Edit layer to change Provide option to expose any layer as a web map service Data Extraction, Standardization and Loading Org 1 Org 2 Org n Information on action taken on suggested edits communicated back to the GeoCommons. Suggested changes communicated back to data “owners” and they decide whether to accept or reject. Changes made to source databases and propagated back to GeoCommons. Members should be able to: See all layers including other proposed changes Select objects from Master to change Import shapefile into Edit layer Import GPS coordinates into Edit layer Do heads up digitizing in Edit layer Edit copy of attributes California GeoCommons
