Data Conversions / Projection Transformation
Due to the curvature of the earth, no single projection can cover the entire planet and still be a viable source for comparing vector data. As a result, vector data is often received in varying projections, which may be converted to a common projection for use. The Alberta Provincial Digital data is stored in either 3TM, UTM or 10TM projections. (See diagrams below)
