The box below illustrates in red attributes from the Straight Line entity of the Cadastral Data Content Standard which correspond with data commonly used by surveyors.

Straight Line - A Straight Line is a line connecting two points with no curves or changes in bearing or direction.

Direction Value - The Direction Value is the quantity of a direction of a boundary. Direction is the angle between a line and an arbitrary chosen reference line. When the reference line is north or south and the angle is designated east or west, the direction is called the bearing. When the reference line is north or south and the angle is measured clockwise, the direction is called azimuth. Domain: numeric.
Corresponds to the following data commonly used by surveyors: boundary azimuth or bearing

Distance Value - Distance Value is the quantity for the distance of a boundary. Distance is the linear measure along a line. Domain: numeric.
Corresponds to the following data commonly used by surveyors: boundary length.

Note: this example and the others in the crosswalk illustrate correlations between commonly used surveying information and attributes in the Cadastral Data Content Standard.  However, this example is not meant to cover every possible surveying situation.  Thus you may find, upon reviewing the crosswalk, that you can think of instances when additional correlations can be found between the Standard and information surveyors collect.
