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:: NTARs are aggregates of the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) Economic Areas and were defined by the DOT for use in the 1993 Commodity Flow Survey (CFS). The dataset was compiled by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics from the NTAD county data set. NTARs are aggregates of the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) Economic Areas and were defined by the DOT for use in the 1993 Commodity Flow Survey (CFS). Adjoining counties which comprise the NTAR regions were merged into unique polygons. After completing topological and attribute verification using ARC/INFO, the data was converted to shapefile format. The dataset provides location and attribute information for use in national and regional cartographic and network analysis applications.

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 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. These data are based on interpretation of available information and should not be construed as legally binding.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: This dataset was downloaded in shapefile format by the GeoPlan Center from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics website http://199.79.179.77/gis/ntatlas/natlas.html in 2001. The dataset was projected to FGDL Albers HARN and area and perimeter were updated to meters.
Process_Date: 2002

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: 1.) Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below) 2.) Area and Perimeter were updated to meters
