Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains the Florida subset of the National Waterway Network. The National Waterway Network is a comprehensive network database of the nation's navigable waterways. The nominal scale of the dataset varies with the source material. The majority of the information is at 1:100,000 with larger scales used in harbor/bay/port areas and smaller scales used in open waters. This is an update to the btsww_2012 layer.
Purpose:
The National Waterway Network is a geographic database of navigable waterways in and around the United States, for analytical studies of waterway performance, for compiling commodity flow statistics, and for mapping purposes.
Supplemental_Information:
Links in the waterway network represent actual shipping lanes or serve as representative paths in open water where no defined shipping lanes exist. Nodes may represent physical entities such as river confluences, ports/facilities, and intermodal terminals, US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE nodes), or may be inserted for analytical purposes. Approximately 180 USACE ports are geo-coded in the node database.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
RITA/BTS quality checks were completed to cross reference the dataset with the state dataset to determine if the spatial data and attribute data were accurate within each state
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 "shape source" field in the link database, and the "node source" field in the node database indicate the data sources used to derive link and node placements. The accuracy of each network element is correlated to the data source used to derive that element. For example, links and nodes derived from 1:100,000 scale DLGs are more accurate than links and nodes derived from 1:500,000 scale NOAA Navigational Charts. Links with unknown/missing sources are usually schematic representations of USACE links. Off-Shore: NOAA Charts vary in scale. Larger scale charts were used in harbor/port areas, while smaller scale charts were used in open water. For channels, sea lanes, and Intracoastal Waterways, shape points were placed as needed to ensure that link segments fall within waterway boundaries. Inland: Links digitized from 1:100,000 DLG files, or large scale NOAA charts are the most accurate representations. Shape points were placed as needed to ensure that link segments fall between waterway shorelines. Links derived from Corps milepoints have shape points approximately one mile apart. The Corps milepoints were mainly derived from 1:24,000 and 1:100,000 scale maps. Therefore, the shape points derived from Corps milepoints are often as accurate as shape points derived from 1:100,000 DLG files. However, line segments connecting the shape points may not accurately represent the curvature of the waterway.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Merging of inland and offshore waterway networks. A specialized program was written to merge the two networks. In general, Vanderbilt node locations were accepted as authoritative when both data sets had the same elements. This meant moving an Oak Ridge link incident to that node. If the link was classified geographically ocean or Great Lakes, and a Vanderbilt link or chain existed with the same ID and endpoints, the Oak Ridge link was discarded, after transfer of Oak Ridge attributes. If the Oak Ridge link was within 2 km of the new end nodes' location: and 1) if a duplicate Vanderbilt link existed with a higher source code, it replaced the Oak Ridge link, or 2) the Oak Ridge link was moved by a logistic adjustment to the new location. (This causes modest disruption to the preponderance of the shape, yet assured that the angle of approach to the displaced end node location was preserved.) If the link was functionally classed "deep draft" and a duplicate Vanderbilt link had an authoritative source code, the Oak Ridge link was replaced. Otherwise an additional shape point was added at the end to snap to the new node location without disrupting the original link shape. If the link had a Vanderbilt duplicate with the same ID, the Oak Ridge link was so flagged to be manually resolved. The composite network was then cleaned manually, resolving all cases of still remaining duplicate links and deciding case-by-case how to smooth or otherwise accommodate a highly displaced Oak Ridge shape into the Vanderbilt digitized node location, using TIGER shorelines as a background.

Process_Description:
In July 2013 GeoPlan obtained the data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) in CDROM format. The data was in the following geographical coordinate system: WGS 1984 Datum, Units: Degrees. During the QA/QC process GeoPlan performed the following tasks.
- Extracted features where "FIPS" = '12' or "FIPS2" = '12 to select features in Florida. Hand selected additional features in the vicinity of the coast of Florida. - Reprojected the data to FGDL Albers HPGN. - Uppercased all fields. - Added DESCRIPT field based on RIVERNAME. - Added FGDLAQDATE field based on the date GeoPlan received the data from the source. - Renamed the dataset from waterway to btsww_2013

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>
