A note about data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are 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. 1:125000 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 webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Attribute accuracy is relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the originl data layer
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
This dataset contains informatin on Intermodal Terminal Facilities (facilities that support two or more modes of transportation) from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD) 2003.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
An Intermodal facility is defined as generalized descriptors for collated customers and services. The table contains facilities that support two or more modes of transportation. These facilities can contain an address, but must contain a latitude and longitude.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
A single coordinate pair for GIS reference represents all points. A unique id number relates the records to other tables. A parent id is required, which may be used to aggregate to its facility, which is the granularity of the publicly released data.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
All records require geocoding, mode type, facility type, unique name combination, and unique id to be included in the final dataset.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
Geocode source holds the source of the spatial coordinates, particular sources have varying spatial accuracy and is noted below.

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
GDT98Streets

- As new streets are reported, they are added daily by digital map technicians (DMTs) working in teams assigned to specific geographic areas covering the entire nation. As DMTs work through their particular regions, they concentrate on areas that contain the largest numbers of missing addresses, usually newly developed areas. They apply address ranges to unaddressed street segments, digitized new streets, correct inaccurate segment shapes, and add exits and turn or one-way restrictions. Each addition is verified with current maps and other data.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
Airport attributes were obtained from the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Data and the Office of Airline Information (OAI) Enplanement Data. The FAA Data was published by the Aeronautical Information Services (ATA-100) with an Effective Date of 21 February 2002. Horizontal positional accuracy is based on coordinate data provided in the FAA National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Dataset (Effective 21 February 2002). These coordinate data identify the approximate location of the Airport Reference Point (ARP) as reported by the landing facility on the NFDC.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
A single coordinate pair for GIS reference represents all points. A unique id number relates the records to other tables. A parent id is required, which may be used to aggregate to its facility, which is the granularity of the publicly released data.
Completeness_Report:
All records require geocoding, mode type, facility type, unique name combination, and unique id to be included in the final dataset.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Geocode source holds the source of the spatial coordinates, particular sources have varying spatial accuracy and is noted below.
Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Value: GDT98Streets
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation:
- The original digital source of line segment, such as a Census Bureau 1980 GBF/DIME File or a USGS 1:100,000 scale DLG-3. - Scale 1: 24,000

- For line segments that originated with the USGS DLG-3 files, the FCC is based on the USGS classification code in the DLG-3 file. For line segments that originated with the 1980 GBF / DIME Files, the FCC is based on the NS code and other feature identification content of the GBF/DIME -File.

- Latitude/longitude Data: except for DIME format (ASCII) boundary files, all latitude and longitude coordinates are signed and have six decimal places. Northern latitude is positive (0 degrees to 90 degrees), southern latitude is negative (0 degrees to -90 degrees). West longitude are negative (0 degrees to -180 degrees), and longitude are positive (0 degrees to 180 degrees)

- DIME format boundary file coordinates are expressed as all positive values with six implied decimal places. Any longitude west of 180 degrees is expressed in increasing, rather than decreasing values.

·Projection using latitude/longitude coordinate values with an implied 6 decimal places

·All coordinates are based on the 1983 North American Datum (NAD83).

- As new streets are reported, they are added daily by digital map technicians (DMTs) working in teams assigned to specific geographic areas covering the entire nation. As DMTs work through their particular regions, they concentrate on areas that contain the largest numbers of missing addresses, usually newly developed areas. They apply address ranges to unaddressed street segments, digitized new streets, correct inaccurate segment shapes, and add exits and turn or one-way restrictions. Each addition is verified with current maps and other data.

- ARC/INFO format products are available in double precision. Precision refers to the number of bits (single - 32bits, double - 64 bits) used to store coordinate data. Coverages in double precision are slightly more accurate, but larger than those in single precision.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation:
Airport attributes were obtained from the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Data and the Office of Airline Information (OAI) Enplanement Data. The FAA Data was published by the Aeronautical Information Services (ATA-100) with an Effective Date of 21 February 2002. Horizontal positional accuracy is based on coordinate data provided in the FAA National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Dataset (Effective 21 February 2002). These coordinate data identify the approximate location of the Airport Reference Point (ARP) as reported by the landing facility on the NFDC (National Flight Data Center) 5010 form. According to NFDC guidelines, the location of the ARP should be reported to a horizontal accuracy of one arc second of latitude and longitude. However, the accuracy of these reported coordinates are not verified by FAA. The records were loaded into a GIS and checked for any unusual or obviously erroneous locations.

Process_Description:
The use of this data for network or attribute related queries should note that supplementary data is stored in a separate dbf files. These tables hold pertinent information in a relational database format, ID fields being linked as the primary keys and foreign keys. PU_FAC table's primary key is ID and is the foreign key in PU_CAR, PU_COM, and PU_DIR, identified by FAC_ID. The shape files match the corresponding dbf files, no conversion is needed to utilize either format for analysis. Data is based on various public and private published sources, i.e. IANA Railway Guide, WWW, Army Corps of Engineers - Port Report. These sources are frequently updated and revised, any particular inquires should be directed to the data source of the record or records.

Process_Description:
Intermodal Facility locations were obtained from the CD-ROM National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD) 2003 (A Collection of Spatial Data for Use in GIS-based Applications) BTS-03-04. GeoPlan extracted this data in shapefile format and removed facilities not located in Florida. Three tables were also joined to the shapefile through the Facilities ID number. The shapefile was reprojected from WGS_1984 Decimal Degrees to the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. (See "Map Projection Parameters" below).
