| | Use of Parcel Data in New York State: A Reconnaissance Study: |

 | | Parcel identification and location attributes comprise the numbering scheme used to identify the parcel and the characteristics that describe its location on the earth as well as its location within the boundaries of a municipality, school, water, or other districts. |
 | | Physical geography describes the parcel in terms such as its soil type, size, and water features, while infrastructure attributes represent large-scale initiatives such as road and bridge placement, utility and power grids, and water and sewer lines. |
