Description:

Abstract:: This dataset contains mineral and metal operations in the United States. The data represent commodities covered by the Minerals Information Team (MIT) of the U.S. Geological Survey, and the operations are those considered active in 1997 and surveyed by the MIT.
Purpose:: The digital data set of the Minerals Information Team is used to create electronic and hard copy maps that depict various mineral or metal mine and/or processing locations on a national map. The data can be used to conduct geographic analysis on national and large regional scales.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data layer.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:: The data can be used to conduct geographic analysis on national and large regional scales. The digital data set of the Minerals Information Team is used to create electronic and hard copy maps that depict various mineral or metal mine and/or processing locations on a national map. The data can be used to conduct geographic analysis on national and large regional scales. Additional mineral and metal operations information can be obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey Minerals Information Team web page at: http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/\par

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:: 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 multicounty 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 section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our web pages at: http://www.geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: Data was downloaded by GeoPlan in shapefile format from the USGS website at: http://mrdata.usgs.gov/sddpftp.html. The shapefile was then clipped to the State of Florida, projected to FGDL Albers HPGN, all character items were upcased and the DESCRIPT item was added based on the item COMMODITY. When received, data was in the following projection: Geographic, Datum: NAD 27, Spheroid: Clarke 1866, Units: Decimal Degrees.
Process_Date: 2002

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: 1.) Projected data to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below). 2.) Clipped to the State of Florida 3.) DESCRIPT item added based on COMMODITY 4.) Upcased all character records.
