<useconst>THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED

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:

<othercit>Land Resources Division has been creating hardcopy segment maps containing boundary data 
since the 1960's.
This data is currently being converted to a digital vector format and added to the collection as it become available.
Additionally as existing boundary data is modified and/or new parks units are acquired they are added to the collection.</othercit>

<procdesc>Two sets of boundaries were collected and compared. The main 
set was obtained from David Duran, who collected boundaries 
from each region in the summer of 2001.  The second set was 
obtained from Dean Tucker, who digitized boundaries for the 
Horizon Project.  The main set from David Duran was determined 
to contain the most recent boundary information. Parks missing 
from David's set were added from Deans set. 
Those parks are..........

<procdesc>Boundary polygons for one-hundred and fourteen units ware 
verified data from the Lands Resources Division (LRD) according 
to the procedures defined in the Lands Acquisition Procedures 
Manual Chapter 5.  Boundary data from LRD has separate 
polygons for individual types of units like Denali National Park and 
Denali National Preserve.  Lands records in the dataset that can be 
identified by querying for [GIS_Notes] = "Lands" in the attribute table.  
These parks in Florida include:

<procdesc>This data was downloaded in shapefile format (NPS_BOUNDARY.ZIP) 
by the GeoPlan Center in 2006 from the National Park Service 
NR-GIS Metadata and Data Store website: 
http://science.nature.nps.gov/nrdata. 
When received, the geographic extent of the data was the entire USA, 
and the data was in the following projection: 
Geographic, Datum: NAD83, Spheroid: GRS1980, Units: Decimal degrees.

- The data was clipped to the State of Florida and projected to FGDL Albers HPGN.
- Empty Fields were deleted (GIS_LOC_ID, GROUP_CODE, META_MIDF, LANDS_CODE).
- Lowercase characters within the attribute table were upcased.
- Added ACRES field and Calculated the field.
- Added DESCRIPT field based on UNIT_NAME.
- Added FGDLAQDATE based on date downloaded from source.
- Added AUTOID field and Calculated the field.</procdesc>
