THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GEOPLAN CENTER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF USING, MODIFYING, CONTRIBUTING OR DISTRIBUTING THE MATERIALS.

A note about data scale:

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 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_Report:
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Value: unknown
Logical_Consistency_Report:
All node-link and polygon topological relationships were created and verified using ARC/INFO, a Geographic Information System. The unique identifiers were verified using ARC/INFO. The data was then converted to a shapefile format.
Completeness_Report:
This data set is composed of the 25 Districts having voting representation.

Downloaded the shapefile from BOC. Downloaded congressional district information from USGS (<http://www-atlas.usgs.gov/mld/cgd109p.html> ) and joined the spatial with the latest attribute data on district representatives. Used ArcGIS for topological and attribute verification. 110th Congressional District Boundaries did not change from the 109th.
Process_Date: 2007
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
In July 2007 Geoplan obtained the data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics in CDROM format

-GeoPlan extracted this data in shapefile format and removed districts outside of Florida. -The shapefile was reprojected from WGS_1984 Decimal Degrees to the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. (See "Map Projection Parameters" below). - All records were upcased. - Changed original layer name from cd110 to USDIST_2007. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on the DISTRICTfield - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date of data processing

Process_Date: 20070712
Process_Step:
Process_Description: Data imported to ArcSDE and exported as a shapefile.
