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:
Sarasota County and Charlotte County were done by thier own in house GIS department.

Because the SWFRPC did not produce those 2 counties critical facilities data, we can not attest to the accuracy of it. While the Charlotte County data apears to be accurate, the Sarasota County data has some blatant errors of which they admit, as in points falling far out in the water. The data here was the latest available they had at the time.

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. 1:250000 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:

Process_Description:
Data originally released by individual counties in 2001. Data was downloaded by GeoPlan in shapefile format from the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council (<http://www.swfrpc.org/maps.htm>) in 2001. When received, data was in the following projection: State Plane East, Datum: NAD 27, Units: Feet. The shapefile was then projected to FGDL Albers HPGN.
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) DESCRIPT item added based on CATEGORY (3) Upcased all character records
