Abstract:
This dataset contains 2005 Religious Center Facility Information
for the State of Florida. This dataset contains fields
denoting the physical address, and contact information for religious
facilities based on data taken from the Yellow and Super Pages Online.
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

This dataset is a combination of religious oriented addresses from
the Yellow and Super Pages online.

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.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
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.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
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.

-All addresses from sections above were copied and pasted into a
 text file, which was then formatted so that it could be imported
 into Excel and converted to a database file format.
 Process Steps for Yellow Pages data:
-The addresses were geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads
 Shapefile created using FGDL Albers HPGN map projection (See "Map
 Projection Parameters" below).
-Removed Spatial Duplicates using AVE in ArcView

(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.

-Added DESCRIPT field based on NAME
-Socio-Cultural Effect data fields and definitions were added. 
 FLAG, UPDATE_DAY, AUTOID, NAME, ADDRESS, CITY,
 ZIPCODE, TYPE, SERVICES, RELIGION_MODAL, 
 REL_DESCPT, YR_BUILT, 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.
