Yukon Geotechnical Report Metadata with Highway and Location Data

Yukon's geotechnical reports are indexed by the HPW-TEB Geotechnical Unit. The metadata table includes report reference numbers, titles, authors, highway identifiers, and kilometer start and end points. Added columns for route ID, latitude, and longitude facilitate georeferencing these reports to linear referencing routes in ArcGIS.

Use Cases

• Georeference reports to create point or line shapefiles using the highway number and km start/end columns.
• Analyze the spatial distribution of geotechnical investigations using the latitude and longitude columns.
• Query and filter reports by author or specific highway using the author and highway columns.
• Link report metadata to linear referencing systems via the route ID column for transportation network analysis.

Strengths

• Data is maintained by the authoritative HPW-TEB Geotechnical Unit within the Yukon government.
• Includes georeferencing columns like latitude and longitude for spatial analysis.
• Designed for integration with ArcGIS linear referencing systems for professional GIS workflows.

Limitations

• The specific number of reports (rows) and metadata columns is unknown, limiting assessment of scale and completeness.
• Data format includes HTML and ESRI REST, which may require specialized GIS software for full utilization.
