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:: This data set was orginally created from a .dxf format drawing. It was created by digitizing illustrations in Florida Geological Bulletin No. 51 "The Survey Special Publication 5, "Summary of the Geology of Florida" Puri and Vernon, 1964. Attribute information was taken from these same publications.

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.
