Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data layer.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
This coverage is a reselection from CONSLANDS Statewide coverage. The conservation lands database was initially compiled land standardized from the existing digital GIS databases maintained by each Water Management District. The compiled database was subsequently enhanced at the Geoplan Center by the addition/standardization of attribute data (such as name, type, status, etc.). The Geoplan Center also corrected all boundary and location inaccuracies identified by reviewers. In addition, every effort was made to incorporate boundary changes precipitated by acquisitions and proposals which occurred as late as November 1994. The reselect occurred in 1997 at FMRI.
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: <http://www.geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>

Process_Description:
This data was recieved in shapefile format by the GeoPlan Center in 2002 from FWC FMRI, Marine Resources GIS Corporate Data CD. In the WLDMGT.DBF a Descript item was added based on Name, lowercase characters within the attribute table were upcased, and updated Area_Meters and Perimeter_Meters. When received, data was in Geographic projection, Albers Equal Area Conic Datum: NAD 1983 Units: 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) Upcased all character records (3) DESCRIPT item was added based on Name (4) Updated Area and Perimeter (5) Dropped old internal coverage items: FLWMA_ FLWMA_ID OBEJECTID (6) Dropped redundant items: SHAPE_AREA SHAPE_LEN
