GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data. |
The following dataset was Geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads. Address information was obtained via a website or through a spreadsheet gained from an agency. The data was reformatted using a text editor in order to create data that could be imported into excel. From this data, dbfs were created that could then be used for Geocoding/Address Matching. |
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.

NCES public school data is gathered by CCD (Common Core of Data), Public school data is from the 2003-2004 school year. NCES private school data is gathered by PSS (Private School Universe Survey), Private school data is from the 2003-2004 school year. NCES college data is gathered by IPEDS, College data is from the 2004-2005 school year. Step -1: NCES Public and Private School Data were down loaded from: http://nces.ed.gov/globallocator/ The database files were geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads, and finally converted into a shapefile with the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. Step - 2: Obtained public school information from Alachua County School Board website: http://www.sbac.edu/~ir/dists.html Obtained non-public school information from the Non-Public Schools Directory listed on the Florida Department of Education website: http://www.firn.edu/doe/choice/ndirect.htm Obtained Higher Education information; Private College, Public College, Jr. College, and Vo-Tech School address information from the Department of Environmental Protection GIS Dept. From these websites, GeoPlan copied school information into a text file format and then converted it to a database file. The database file was geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads, and finally converted into a shapefile with the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. Step - 3: A select by location function was used to remove the duplicated spatial information that occurred from Step - 2. Step - 4: Once this duplicate information was removed the shapefile created in Step - 3 was then joined to the shapefile created in Step - 1. (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, ID, NAME, ADDRESS, CITY, STATE, ZIPCODE, OPERATING, OP_CLASS, ENROLLMENT, PROGRAMS, COMMON_USE, USE, 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. -Total records = 6751 Process Date: 20050901 |
