FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES:

Datafile Name: SHPO_RES_GROUPS_JUL06.DBF

FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:

Item	Item Description
SITEID	This is the official state site number assigned by the Florida Master Site File. The state site number is an eight character string containing a two character county code, a five character numeric code, and an optional single letter character suffix (suffix letter is generally used to indicate sites that are functionally or spatially related).
SITENAME	The site name as recorded at the Florida Master Site File. Usually the principal or best known name for a cultural resource. A site name of "NN" indicates no name has been designated for the site.
RGTYPE	This field indicates the type of resource group represented. There are four possible values: Historical District = Buildings or structures, no archaeological sites Archaeological District = Archaeological sites only Mixed District = Contains both archaeological sites and buildings or structures FMSF Building Complex = Multiple buildings in close functional and spatial association
CATEGORY	This a coded value indicating the National Register of Historic Places category the resource group fits into. The possible values are: BLDG = Building(s) DIST = District OBJE = Object SITE = Site STRU = Structure MRA = Multiple Resource Area TG = Thematic Group MPS = Multiple Property Submission
CITY	The city in which the resource group is located (or nearest city).
CONTRIBCR	For districts this indicates the number of contributing resources.
TOTALCR	The total number of cultural resources included in the resource group. For districts this number includes both contributing and non-contributing resources.
TIMESIG1	Time periods of significance. This is a date range for historic resources and an archaeological phase name with approximate date for prehistoric resources.
TIMESIG2	See TIMESIG1
TIMESIG3	See TIMESIG1
NARRATIVE	This is a summary narrative description of the resource group.
HISTASSC1	Areas of historical significance. These are categories defined in "National Register Bulletin 15", p.8. Each resource group may have multiple areas of significance.
HISTASSC2	See HISTASSC1
HISTASSC3	See HISTASSC1
HISTASSC4	See HISTASSC1
HISTASSC5	See HISTASSC1
HISTASSC6	See HISTASSC1
EVALUATION	The surveyor's summary of the significance of the resource group.
D_NRLISTED	Date that the resource was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The field is blank if the Site File database does not identify the resource as listed on the National Register.
SHPOEVAL	Evaluation of Florida's State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) concerning the eligibility of the resource for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. In Florida, the SHPO is the Director of the Division of Historical Resources, acting through staff in the Bureau of Historic Preservation (BHP). Generally the Site File database only contains evaluations made by the Compliance Review staff of BHP. Some properties may be listed on the NRHP without having been reviewed by Compliance Review staff. Therefore, an NR list date (indicating a property is NR listed) takes priority over a 'Not Evaluated by SHPO' value in this field. Values in this field are limited to a discrete list of possibilities used in the Site File database lookup table. Contact the Site File for more information.
DESCRIPT	Based on SITENAME
FGDLAQDATE	Date FGDL obtained data from source.

USER NOTES:

This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology

This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge.

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data. The original location information is based on field reports, FMSF forms and National Register nomination forms which have been submitted to the Florida Master Site File by many and varied individuals, groups, institutions, and cultural resource firms. Submissions to the Site File are sometimes accepted from amateurs as well as professionals. The accuracy of submitted information cannot always be verified.

This data is provided 'as is' and its horizontal positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

A note concerning data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasetsare 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. 1:250000 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 sectionand the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

This data was originally created by the Division of Historical Resources. Resource group boundaries are digitized on-screen in ArcInfo 8.x using Scanned, georeferenced, 1:24,000 scale USGS quadrangles as the base maps. Process Date: Unknown When received by Geoplan, the data was in the following projection: Geographic, Datum: NAD27, Spheroid: Clarke 1866, Units: Decimal Degrees. The shapefile was projected to FGDLAlbers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below) in ArcToolBox using the Florida Harn Transformation. -Reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN -Added DESCRIPT field based on SITENAME to attribute table -Added fields FGDLAQDATE -Upcased all items in the attribute talbe -Changed file name to shpo_res_groups from ResourceGroups Process Date: 20060701
