- Data_Quality_Information:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
Certain node/geometry and topology (GT)-polygon/chain relationships are
collected or generated to satisfy topological requirements. Some of these
requirements include: chains must begin and end at nodes, chains must connect
to each other at nodes, chains do not extend through nodes, left and right
GT-polygons are defined for each chain element and are consistent throughout
the transfer, and the chains representing the limits of the file (neatline) are free of
gaps. The neatline is generated by connecting the four corners of the digital file,
as established during initialization of the digital file. All data outside the enclosed
region are ignored and all data crossing these geographically straight lines are
clipped at the neatline. (Exception: During the QA/QC process all data is
examined and if errors are found and corrections are possible, then data is
corrected accordingly. This process is documented in the Process_Step.) Data
within a specified tolerance of the neatline are snapped to the neatline. Neatline
straightening aligns the digitized edges of the digital data with the generated
neatline, that is, with the longitude/latitude lines in geographic coordinates. All
internal polygons are tested for closure. Certain attributes and/or entities, e.g.
closure line, convey data quality information. When information to be encoded in
the subfield is known to be not applicable (undefined, not relevant), then the
subfield is valued by a string of "9s"; and when the information to be encoded is
relevant but unknown (or missing), then the subfield is valued by a string of "9s."

- Process_Description:
-
GeoPlan created this layer from the Florida County Boundaries shapefile
(CNTBND_JUN11). The field OFFICE was added and populated by the
USFWS ecological office that serves each county in the state of Florida.
The shapefile was then dissolved on this field creating three distinct
USFWS service areas for the state of Florida. County associations were
made based on data found on the North Florida Ecological Service office
website:
<http://www.fws.gov/northflorida/documents/USFWS_FL_ES_Office_Service_Areas.pdf>
- Upcased all fields in the table
- Added DESCRIPT field based on OFFICE
- Added FGDLAQDATE based on date of source material.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. 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:
