FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:

Item
Item Description
OBJECTID Internal feature number.

Score ESRI item which denotes the score with which the address was matched to a feature in the reference data.

Match_type A code showing how an adddress was matched.
A = Automatically matched or rematched.

M = Manually matched or unmatched using the Match or Unmatch button

PP = Point was placed by Pick by Point. The address was matched to the click point using the Pick Address from Map tool in the Interactive Rematch dialog box with ArcMap.

PA = Point was places by Pick by Address. The address was matched to closest address with the Pick Address from Map tool.


Side ESRI item which denotes the side of the street to which the address was matched (for geocoding service styles that can match an address to a particular side of a street). Records marked with an "*" have not been GeoCoded, these records have another type of spatial reference source.

Match_addr ESRI item which denotes the full street layer address to which the address was matched.

FAC_ID The facilities identification number.

NAME The name of the facility.

DISTRICT The FDOT district that the facility falls within.

STATUS The status of the facility, i.e. the facilities Quality Control Plan.

ADDRESS The address of the facility.

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

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:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
GeoPlan downloaded the source for this dataset from the Florida Department
of Transportation, Materials Office website on October 7th, 2008 
(http://www.dot.state.fl.us/statematerialsoffice/quality/programs/qualitycontrol/materialslistings/postjuly2002.shtm). 
The data was received as an xls and then converted to a dbf. 
The dataset was then geocoded based on the provided addresses. 
Non geocodeable addresses and sites outside of the state of Florida
were deleted. There were 6 records that fell into these categories. 

-The addresses were geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads
 Shapefile created using FGDL Albers HPGN map projection
- All fields were upcased.
- A DESCRIPT field was added based on NAME
- A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date downloaded from source
- File was originally named producers.xls
Process Date: 20081007

Data imported to ArcSDE and exported as a shapefile. Process Date: 20081021
