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: http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html</useconst><natvform>SHAPEFILE</natvform><ptcontac><cntinfo><cntemail>Web site: http://www.fgdl.org</cntemail><cntemail>Technical Support: http://www.fgdl.org/fgdlfeed.html</cntemail><cntemail>For FGDL Software: http://www.fgdl.org/software.html</cntemail><cntemail>FGDL Frequently Asked Questions: http://www.fgdl.org/fgdlfaq.html</cntemail><cntemail>FGDL Mailing Lists: http://www.fgdl.org/fgdl-l.html</cntemail><cntaddr><addrtype>mailing address</addrtype><address>431 Architecture PO Box 115706</address><city>Gainesville</city><state>Florida</state><postal>32611-5706</postal></cntaddr><cntorgp><cntorg>Florida Geographic Data Library (FGDL)</cntorg><cntemail>Web site: http://www.fgdl.org</cntemail></cntorgp></cntinfo></ptcontac><crossref><citeinfo><othercit>Office of Economic and Demographic Research

In the orginal shapefiles depicting these features, a vast amount of statistical information was included. The purpose of this information was "to provide additional information about the adopted plans, the comma separated files generated by the FREDS 2000 software that detail aggregated district statistics and district by county statistics have been included with these other data sets."

GeoPlan has excluded this statistical data from the actual shapefile, but has included a supplemental table containing the data. This table, named 'sdist_table.dbf' can be utilized by relating the shapfile attribute table with the supplemental table using the common field of 'DISTRICT'.

Futhermore, the defintions for the supplemental fields can be viewed in the .pdf document 'sdist_table_definitons.pdf' that is included with the data. The definitions in the pdf were extracted from the FREDS 2000 Help document, downloaded online from: &lt;http://edr.state.fl.us/redistricting/freds/freds.htm&gt;

Also, please note that the attribute names in the supplemental table 'sdist_table.dbf' are prefaced with a "Z", and the attributes listed in the pdf document 'sdist_table_definitons.pdf' are not prefaced with a "Z". </attraccr><qattracc/></attracc><lineage><srcinfo><srccurr>publication date</srccurr><srccontr>Spatial and Attribute Information</srccontr><srccite><citeinfo><origin>Office of Economic and Demographic Research</origin><pubdate>20020401</pubdate><title>FLORIDA SENATE VOTING DISTRICTS</title></citeinfo></srccite><srcscale>N/A</srcscale><srctime><timeinfo><sngdate><caldate>20020401</caldate></sngdate></timeinfo><srccurr>ground condition</srccurr></srctime><srccitea>EDR</srccitea></srcinfo><procstep><procdesc>GeoPlan downloaded this data from the Office of Economic and Demographic Research online at: &lt;http://edr.state.fl.us/redistricting/districts.htm&gt;

During the QAQC process, GeoPlan: 
-Reprojected to the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. 
-Added 'DESCRIPT' field based on 'DISTRICT'. 
-Added field 'FGDLAQDATE'.
-Excluded and exported 'FREDS 2000' statistical information into supplemental table (SEE USER NOTES).
