Description:

Abstract:: This dataset contains the US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) port locations within the state of Florida.. The data consists of listings of port area's waterfront facilities, including information on berthing, cranes, transit sheds, grain elevators, marine repair plants, fleeting areas, and docking and storage facilities. Collection of data is performed on a rotational basis to ensure on-site accuracy at each facility. This dataset is an update to the acport_2014 layer.
Purpose:: The Navigation Data Center had several objectives in developing the U.S. Waterway Data. These objectives support the concept of a National Spatial Data Provide public access to national waterway data. Foster interagency and intra-agency cooperation through data sharing. Provide a mechanism to integrate waterway data (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Port/Facility and U.S. Coast Guard Accident Data, for example) Provide a basis for intermodal analysis. Assist standardization of waterway entity definitions (Ports/Facilities, Locks, etc.). Provide public access to the National Waterway Network, which can be used as a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data (waterway and modal network/facility databases, for example). Provide reliable data to support future waterway and intermodal applications.
Supplemental_Information:: A description of the physical and Intermodal (infrastructure) characteristics of the ports in Florida.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Value: unknown

Logical_Consistency_Report:

RITA/BTS quality checks were to cross reference the place dataset with the state dataset, to determine that the spatial data and attribute data were accurate

Completeness_Report:

This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The accuracy of each point element is correlated to the data source used to derive that element. For example, links and nodes derived from 1:100,000 scale Digital Line Graphs are more accurate than links and nodes derived from 1:500,000 scale NOAA Navigational Charts. Elements with an "M" in the source field (indicating an unknown or missing source) are the least accurate.

Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Value: unknown

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:: This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

Process_Description:: Extraction of the USACE identified port nodes from the National Waterway Network file.
Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: PORT
Process_Date: 2006

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: GeoPlan obtained the data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics in CDROM format. During the QA/QC process, GeoPlan performed the following tasks.
- Extracted features where "STATE_POST" = 'FL' to select features in Florida. - Selected points in Florida, which removed 13 points that fell outside the extent of Florida - When checking 2015 metadata for date, no date was found. Opened text file associated with ports.shp and found date of June 2015 at the end of the text file. Checked ACPORT_2014.shp to compare dates and found a publication date of June 2014. - Original ports.shp projection was GCS_WGS_1984. Reprojected the shapefile to Albers Conical Equal Area (fgdl_square) using the WGS_1984_(ITRF00)_To_NAD_1983 + NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida transformation. - Added DESCRIPT field and populated it based on NAV_UNIT_N - Added FGDLAQDATE field and populated it based on the date GeoPlan received the data - Restructured table by reducing field lengths to better suit data. - Uppercased all records in the table - Recalculated the geometry of LATITUDE1 and LONGITUDE1 - Renamed the dataset from ports.shp to acport_2015
NOTE: Found that the margin of error was higher than 0.005 between 2015 and 2014 shapefiles because GeoPlan switched transformation methods in January of 2015. Tested this by transforming original 2015 data using the old transformation method and comparing it to the 2014 ETAT shapefile. Future transformation of this data should line up with the newest transformation.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA

Distribution_Liability:

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
