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

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:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
Reinitialized data with shapefile provided by source.  This release
contains less points and more polygons.
Process Date: 20021209

GeoPlan Downloaded the dataset from the FDEP's GeoData Directory Website at http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.htm. When received the data was in shapefile format and was in the following projection: North American Datum of 1983 HARN. GeoPlan, during the QA/QC Process included the following aspects: - Renamed the dataset from REGULATORY_OFFICES_AREAS to fdep_officebnd - Deleted objectid fields. - Added a DESCRIPT field based on OFFICE_NM. - Added a FGDLAQDATE based on the date FGDL acquired the data Process Date: 20100126
Data imported to ArcSDE and exported as a shapefile. Process Date: 20100225
