Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:: ELEMENT OCCURRENCE BY QUAD POLYGON SHAPEFILE (shapefile name EOBYQUAD) - This is a polygon data layer locating, by USGS quadrangle, the occurrences of endangered or rare plants and animals, high quality natural communities and other occurrences of natural resource interest in the FNAI database. An "Element" is any exemplary or rare component of the natural environment, such as a species, plant community, bird rookery, spring, sinkhole, cave or other ecological features. An "Element Occurrence" (EO) represents the locational records of an element and is a single extant habitat which sustains or otherwise contributes to the survival of a population or a distinct, self-sustaining example or a particular natural community. FNAI maintains precise point locations for all EOs.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling 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. These data are based on interpretation of available information and should not be construed as legally binding.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: GeoPlan downloaded this data in shapefile format from the Florida Natural Areas Inventory 2002, as a coverage. The data was converted from coverage to shapefile. Lowercase characters within the attribute table were upcased and DESCRIPT item was added based on SCOMNAME. The data was projected to FGDL Albers HPGN. When received, data was in the following projection: Geographic, Datum: HARN, Spheroid: GRS1980, Units: Decimal Degrees. The data was projected to FGDL Albers HPGN.
