Abstract:
This dataset contains 2005 Laser Facility Information for the State of Florida. This dataset contains fields denoting the physical address and the specific laser information for that site. This dataset is based on information received from the Florida Department of Health.
Purpose:
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

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 web page at: http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
Note that if the laser is registered as 'MOBILE' in the MOBILITY field, 
it may not be always or ever at the registrant's address.

There may be additional location information in the Location field. 
This is usually a room and / or building number on a big hospital or 
university campus.

The DATE_ADDED field displays when the registration was added.  
The older they are, the less likely the laser or registrant will still be there.

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
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.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
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.

Process_Description:
Laser oriented facility locations were obtained from the 
Florida Department of Health. GeoPlan received this data 
in Excel format and converted it to a dbf.  The dbf was 
then geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads 
and converted into a shapefile with the FGDL Albers 
HPGN map projection. 

-Added DESCRIPT field based on NAME
-Socio-Cultural Effect data fields and definitions were added. 
 FLAG, UPDATE_DAY, AUTOID, FGDLAQDATE.
-Total Records = 2525
