Description:

Abstract:: This coverage contains the digital line graphs (DLG) for the state of Florida as compiled by the Earth Science information center of the U.S. Geological Survey. The RDS24 coverage is a subset of all transportation data from the DLG data files derived from the 1:24,000-scale and other large-scale maps.
This dataset has been updated from the previous version on FGDL 3.0.
Purpose:: The data are created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data layer.

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. 1:125000 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. These data are based on interpretation of available information and should not be construed as legally binding.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: Data was downloaded in DLG SDTS format by the GeoPlan Center from USGS Mapping Applications Center in 2000. When received, data was in the following projection: UTM zone 16 & 17, Datum: NAD83, Spheroid: GRS1980, Units: Meters. Data was imported to coverage and reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN, converted to shapefile, DESCRIPT item was added based on FEATURE, and lowercase characters within the attribute table were upcased. Missing or erroneous quads; q2008, q1903, q2016, q5360, q4112 were replaced and rectified by downloading the revised dlg's from the LABINS ftp site. (ftp://128.186.177.137/dlg/revised)
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 added based on FEATURE Descript item was calculated on Major1, Minor1 pairs, which describe the type of line (transportation) and type of road (ie.class 3 divided, footbridge, trail class 5, etc.) State Route names COULD be defined in a descript item by reselecting major2 = 174 and using the minor2 code as the descript item. US Route names COULD also be defined in a descript item by reselecting major2 = 173 and using the minor2 code as descript item. Interstate Route numbers COULD also be defined in a descript item by reselecting the major2 = 172 and using the minor2 code to define the item. Minor2 numbers could not be used as a rds24 descript item because of conflicts between US, State, and Interstate road names. 4.) Dropped old internal coverage items: FNODE#, TNODE#, LPOLY#, RPOLY#, RDS24_2_, RDS24_2_ID 5.) Dropped items where all records are empty or = 0: MAJOR10, MINOR10
