This dataset is a combination of cultural oriented addresses from
the Yellow Pages online, the Super Pages Online and MyFlorida Online. 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. |
A note concerning data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasetsare 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. 1:250000 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 analyses. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References sectionand the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.

Data was originally released by www.myflorida.com in 2003 and the Super Pages Online and YellowPages online in 2004. Data was downloaded by GeoPlan into textfile format from www.myflorida.com SuperPages.com and Yellowpages.com websites. The data was then manipulated using a text editor and converted into spread sheet format that was then saved as a database files. Duplicate points were removed. The dbfs were geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads, and converted into a shapefile with the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. They were combined and duplicate records were removed. Process Steps for MyFlorida Website Library Locations -Downloaded -Converted from text file format to database file format -Geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads -Removed Duplicates -Shapefile created using FGDL Albers HPGN map projection Process Steps for Super Pages Culture Oriented Locations: -Searched for cultural oriented addresses in http://www.superpages.com/ -Selected culture oriented location addresses under following categories: Cultural Attractions, Events, & Facilities (1146) - Art Museums (246) - Museums (236) - Historical Places & Services (61) - Aquariums (33) - Botanical Gardens (17) - Libraries (519) -All addresses from sections above were copied and pasted into a textfile, which was then formatted so that it could be imported into Excel and converted to a database file format. -Removed Duplicates. -The addresses were geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads Shapefile created using FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. Process Steps for Yellow Pages Culture Oriented Locations: -Searched for cultural oriented addresses in www.yellowpages.com -Selected cultural oriented addresses under following categories: Restaurants & Lounges Restaurants - Dinner Theater (19) Sports & Recreation Motion Picture Theaters - Drive-In Motion Picture Theaters (10) - Motion Picture Theaters (209) Museums, Art Galleries, Botanical & Zoological Gardens Museums & Art Galleries - Historical Societies (66) - Museums & Art Galleries (616) Amusement & Recreation Services Theatrical Producers & Miscellaneous - Performing Arts Center Production (26) - Theater Producers Stage (18) Museums, Art Galleries, Botanical & Zoological Gardens Arboreta & Botanical Or Zoological Gardens - Aquariums & Zoological Gardens (32) - Arboreta & Botanical Gardens (12) - Arboreta, Botanical & Zoological Gardens (2) Museums, Art Galleries, Botanical & Zoological Gardens Museums & Art Galleries - Planetariums (6) -All addresses from sections above were copied and pasted into a textfile, which was then formatted so that it could be imported into Excel and converted to a database file format. -The addresses were geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads Shapefile created using FGDL Albers HPGN map projection -Removed Duplicates. -Selected All Attributes in the shapefile and then perfomed a Select by Location function, 'Removbe from Selection' Yellow Pages Culture Oriented Centers that 'Intersect' Super Pages Culture Oriented Centers. Exported Selection and merged with Super Pages Culture Oriented Centers. -Combined with MyFlorida Library information and removed duplicate libraries that occured in Super Pages from Super Pages Dataset. -Combined Datasets -Added DESCRIPT field based on NAME Total Records = 1772 Process Date: 20040000 |
