FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES:

Datafile Name: SHPO_NATL_REGISTER_MAR09.DBF

FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:

Item	Item Description
OBJECTID	Internal feature number.
Shape	Feature geometry.
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).
BUFFERDIST	UNDEFINED BY SOURCE
REFNUM	A unique 8 digit number assigned to the resource documentation by the NRHP. This number is the primary key for the NRIS database. The first two digits represent the year the documentation for the resource was received.
RESNAME	Primary name for each resource
ADDRESS	Address for each resource. Some resources, such as archaeological sites, are address restricted by the NRHP. These resources DO still appear in this data layer.
RESTRICT	Restricted archaeological sites are marked with an "X".
RETYPECD	Type of resource. All properties are assigned to one of the following five categories. B = Building D = District O = Object S = Site U = Structure.
NUMCBLDG	Number of contributing buildings
NUMCSITE	Number of contributing sites
NUMCSTRC	Number of contributing structures
NUMCOBJ	Number of contributing objects
NUMNBLDG	Number of non-contributing buildings
NUMNSITE	Number of non-contributing sites
NUMNSTRC	Number of non-contributing structures
NUMNOBJ	Number of non-contributing objects
PARKNMCD	If the resource is located in a National Park, this is the park alpha code.
CERTCD	Primary certification code for current status of property. All properties in this version of the coverage will have an "LI" code for listed.
CERTDATE	Date of primary certification in the format YYYYMMDD. For this dataset, CERTDATE represents the date the property was listed on the NRHP.
DESCOTHR	Write-in field for architectural style
ACRE	Acreage of the property. This field is NOT GIS generated, but comes from the nomination form. By convention, properties than 1 acre are listed as .9 acres (decimal implied).
MULTNAME	If the resource is part of a multiple property submission, multiple resource area or thematic group, the multiple name is listed in this field.
CITY	The city or town nearest to the resource
OCERTCD	This field indicates National Historic Landmark status. A value of 'NL' for this field indicates the property is a National Historic Landmark. All other properties will have a blank value for this item.
DESCRIPT	Based on RESNAME
FGDLAQDATE	Date FGDL obtained data from source.
AUTOID	Unique ID added by GeoPlan
SHAPE.AREA	Area in meters
SHAPE.LEN	Perimeter in meters

USER NOTES:

The National Register property location data are based on NR nomination forms, site forms and field reports which have been submitted 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 locations are only as accurate as the locational information submitted to the Site File by the site recorder. The accuracy of submitted information cannot always be verified.

**SPECIAL NOTE: There are two features listed on the NRHP for Florida that DO NOT appear in this dataset. NRIS REFNUM 72000337 - Tallahassee Historic District Zones I and II These districts have been updated and split into two individually listed districts. They now appear as The Calhoun Street Historic District (REFNUM 79000677, State Site # LE00209) and The Park Avenue Historic District (REFNUM 79000681, State Site # LE00210). NRIS REFNUM 89001428 - HA. 19 (Japanese Midget Submarine) This object is no longer located in the State of Florida. It was previously located in Key West.

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

POLYGON

The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

The locations of archaeological sites, historic structures, unmarked human burials, cemeteries, and other cultural features contained in this and other Site File data layers are for resource management, law enforcement, and research purposes only. State and federal law protects archaeological remains on state or federal owned and controlled lands (section 267.13, Florida Statutes). State law protects human burial sites on all lands (sections 872.02 and 872.05, Florida Statutes).

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.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

Two methods were used to create the polygons in this dataset. When maps were present in the NR nomination or in the Site File folder for the resource, the polygons were created by on-screen (heads-up) digitizing in ArcMap or ArcInfo. Scanned, georeferenced, 1:24,000 scale USGS quadrangles were used as the background reference images. For a few offshore features (such as lighthouses and shipwrecks), georeferenced, 1:80,000 scale NOAA nautical charts were used as background reference images. For a small minority of resources, maps were not available. In these cases, UTM coordinates included in the NR documentation were used to generate the polygons. Source location data were created by the Division of Historical Resources. The boundary data are based on field recording forms, site plots and NHRP registration forms submitted to the Site File. Additional information was gathered from the National Register Information System (NRIS). All attribute data (with the exception of the state site number) is taken directly from the NRIS database. NRIS data can be searched or downloaded from the World Wide Web at http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/ 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 FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below) in ArcToolBox using the Florida HARN Transformation. -Reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN -Added DESCRIPT field based on RESNAME to attribute table -Added FGDLAQDATE -Upcased all items in the attribute table -Changed file name to shpo_natl_register from NationalRegister Process Date: 20091012 Data imported to ArcSDE and exported as a shapefile. Process Date: 20091023
