How do you show your MetaData?

I'd like a nice short concise one, that tells how the coord was developed, ie,
What COORS Stations,
Theta Angle on a particular point.
Grid to Ground CSF
Whatever else, you can think of, to make it traceable.
Thank you,
Nate

I have two...one for normal survey work and one for recordable plats. (21 NCAC 56 .1607)

Here’s NC’s statute on reporting metadata:

This is my interpretation of that:
9885

Then for everyday surveys I skinny it up:
9887

and I give it a monument tie with a grid distance:
9888

My theory is...way down the line after the next 10 datum changes you could pull that new NGS data sheet...run the grid distance to the site then apply the scaler and be on my local coordinate system. (no one ever will...but it’s a nice thought)

Here’s how NCDOT reports on their roadway projects:
9889

...you can key this right in to a data collector and nail their baseline control...miles away.

Thanks Tom,
That's what I mean. Time is like a 4 dimension, in a 3 dimensional survey!
I like what you did there.
Epoch date, and all.
