CEMETERY 2005

This dataset is a combination of geocoded cemetery addresses from several
online sources and centroids from the new SHPO Cemeteries shapefile.

SHPO DATA INFORMATION TO THE USER:

DATA VERSION: April 2005: This data set updates and replaces all previous
versions of the Florida Master Site File historical cemeteries data layer.
This version incorporates newly recorded cemeteries and updates to previously
recorded ones.  This is the first version of FMSF historical cemeteries GIS data
layer to be released in Shapefile format.

Data from the Florida Master Site File are continually updated.
This data layer is only current as of the date of this document.
Contact the Florida Master Site File for updated data layers.

DATA SOURCE: Source data were created by the Division of Historical Resources.
The original boundary data are based on field recording forms and site plots
submitted to the Site File.  Florida Master Site File site folders contain an
historic cemetery form with descriptive location data, photographs and any site
plots provided by the surveyor.

DERIVATION METHODS FOR DATA: This data layer was created using on-screen (heads-up)
digitizing of cemetery locations in Arc/Info.  Scanned, georeferenced, 1:24,000 scale
USGS quadrangles in geographic coordinates (lat./long., NAD27) were used as the
background reference images.  In many cases the cemeteries already appear on the
quad maps.

LIMITATIONS OF THE DATA/WARNINGS TO THE USER:
The historic cemetery data are based on field reports which have been
submitted by many and varied individuals, groups, institutions, and
cultural resource firms.  Submissions to the Site File are sometimes
accepted from amateurs as well as professionals.  The locations are only
as accurate as the locational information submitted to the Site File by
the site recorder.  The accuracy of submitted information cannot always
be verified.  The absence of a cultural resource in this data layer does
not preclude the existence of an unrecorded resource in the field.
The cemeteries recorded at the Site File represent only a fraction of the
historic cemeteries present statewide.

The locations of archaeological sites, historic structures, unmarked human
burials, cemeteries, and other cultural features contained in this and other
Site File data layers are for resource management, law enforcement, and
research purposes only.  State law protects archaeological remains on state
owned and controlled lands section 267.13, Florida Statutes.  State law protects
human burial sites on all lands sections 872.02 and 872.05, Florida Statutes.

What is Geocoding?
Geocoding is term used to describe the act of address matching.  Geocoding
is the process of finding a geographic location (x, y point) for an address
(such as street number and name, city, state, and ZIP Code) on a map.
Geocoding is based off the typical address scheme for the US, in which one
side of the street contains even house numbers while the other side of the
street contains odd house numbers.

The geocoding process uses an algorithm to find the geographic location
of addresses. First, a street segment is identified using the zip code and
street name. Next, the geographic location of the address is matched using
the building number to determine how far down the street and on which side
of the street the building is located.

Geocoding Accuracy
The locational accuracy of geocoded addresses may vary from urban to rural
areas due to the algorithm used to generate the geographic locations of
addresses. The algorithm assumes that the size of parcels are equivalent
along a road route. This assumption tends to be more consistent in urban
areas, where the size of parcels vary less than in rural areas.
Consequently, the results of geocoded addresses in urban areas are usually
more reliable than those in rural areas.

For example, the locational accuracy of rural addresses can be slightly
off because some parcels along a rural route may be 15 acres while others
may be 2.5 acres, but the geocoding algorithm assumes that the addresses
are distributed evenly along the route.

(A1) For Volusia County, FL the 2005 GC_CEMETERY statewide 
geocoded point data was removed. This data was replaced 
with more accurate point data received directly from Volusia 
County and/or a company working with Volusia County in May 
of 2005.

(A5) Some Information from the 2004 geocoded data set was 
retained; this data was retained for three reasons: 

 1. The Yellow Pages and Super Pages Online are paid 
advertising sites, some facilities may wish to discontinue 
their advertising with those companies but they may still 
exist at that address/location (i.e. Churches etc). 
 2. The address might have changed slightly (i.e. suite 
number, building number, or zip code) which may have 
affected the addresses ability to be geocoded with the 
2005 GDT roads dataset. 
 3. The facility no longer exists. 

Because facilities in reasons one and two may still exist 
in the real world all the 2004 geocoded features that were 
not reproduced in the 2005 geocode update were re-geocoded 
against the 2005 GDT roads dataset.  These facilities were 
then added to the 2005 geocoded dataset. Facilities that 
are part of this scenario are represented with a value of 'NIN' 
(Not In New) in the field called FLAG.

-Socio-Cultural Effect data fields and definitions were added.
 FLAG, UPDATE_DAY, AUTOID, NAME, ADDRESS, CITY, 
 ZIPCODE, OPERATING, OP_CLASS, TYPE, YEAR, FGDLAQDATE
-For facilities that previously existed the permanent auto 
 identification number [auto id] was carried over from the
 2004 SCE base data to the 2005 SCE updates. For new 
 facilities autoids were created.
