In the LEO II system, a FORTRAN program accepts locations entered directly by the user or from a selected disk file, converts from legal to geographic reference or vice-versa, and writes the converted locations to the console screen or to a second disk file. The conversion program comprises one routine that converts between reference systems, two reoutines that support special options, and a control routine. Potential users should be familiar with legal and geographic reference and with the PC environment in which LEO II operates. The principal funcions of LEO II are available to anyone who can create an input data file in the correct form and with the proper content, with locations specified according to the standard or optional format and precision. Users with programming expertise can modify or rewrite parts of the conversion program to customize file formats, operational procedures, and program functions, and to use the alternate form for defining geographic coordinates. Reference conversion is founded on a large, "spatial" database containing the geographic locations of all Kansas section corners, which were taken from the digitized and edited section corners in the Kansas Cartographic Database (KCD). The system includes a "query" program, which may be used to examine or modify (rarely done) the contents of the LEO II database. A small set of Kansas sections is said to be "nonstandard," and applying footages (methods for specifying more precise locations within a section) are not well defined. The LEO II system cannot convert locations in nonstandard sections. Attempting to convert a location in a nonstandard section is one example of errors that cause LEO II to stop performing a conversion. When error conditions end a conversion prematurely, LEO II identifies the specific error by writing an error number to the terminal or output file.LEO II is a second-generation software system developed for use on the PC, which is designed to convert location references accurately betwwn legal descriptions and geographic coordinates for locations in Kansas.

Purpose: LEO II is a program for converting legal descriptions to latitude/longitude values and vice versa in Kansas.

The databases are evaluated based on questions similar to the following: Does the database's documentation properly explain the dataset? Does the data import properly into its native dataset environment? Is consistent methodology used throughout the data? Are all of the database's fields and values legitimate compared to the documentation? Is the database's topology free of errors that could impair the functionality of the data? Once the data is tested a report is written describing the evaluation. A copy of the report is then forwarded to the data originator for his/her review. If errors are found, the data originator is expected to make any necessary corrections and then provide those corrected coverages. After these steps have been taken data is considered archivable and made available for distribution. Data that is archived by DASC has been tested and corrected.
