FLORIDA GEOGRAPHIC DATA LIBRARY DOCUMENTATION
VERSION 2006

TITLE: GILCHRIST COUNTY CEMETERY LOCATIONS 

Geodataset Name:       C21_CEMETERY
Geodataset Type:       SHAPEFILE
Geodataset Feature:    POLYGON
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This layer contains burial grounds in the project area, mapped as polygon features. Both active and inactive sites are included, but not sites that would be considered pre-European or part of the archaeological record. Source data includes paper and hardcopy maps, state records (Florida Master Sites File and Division of Historical Resources), historical and genealogical societies, and other likely sources. Delineation of currently un-recorded sites is considered beyond the scope of this project, unless they are found in the course of study. This GIS layer was produced by the North Central Florida Regional Planning Council (NCFRPC) under contract with FDOT District 2 in early 2005. This is one of many layers that fall into the general category of "sociocultural" GIS data. Specifications and oversight were provided by FDOT and by the Geoplan Center at the University of Florida.

USER NOTES:








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













Data development is a component of the Efficient Transporation Decision 
Making Process (ETDM).  The primary objectives of the ETDM initiative include:

Effective/timely decision making without compromising environmental quality.
Integrating review and permitting process.
Early NEPA reviews and approvals
Full and early participation
Meaningful dispute resolution

For more information about these initiatives an on-line search using keyword 
'ETDM' will provide a number of resources.
A listing of relevant documents and resources is included under: 
http://fdotenvironmentalstreamlining.urs-tally.com/Library/default.htm.















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. For more information regarding scale 
and accuracy, see our web pages at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY: 








Layer was created by using the geocoded point layer, buffering to 100m, 
and creating a polygon shapefile to be used for editing.  Added fields: 
ACCESS, SOURCES, ALTERNATE, RESOLVE, CONFIDENCE, and 
others required by SCE specifications.  Deleted unnecessary fields.  
ACCESS tells the user how accessible the site is.  SOURCES indicate 
the main sources helpful in verifying the cemetery location.  ALTERNATE 
indicates other names used for the site.  RESOLVE was used to differentiate 
polygons that were verified and finished.  0 means the site is incomplete, 
not located, or not verifiable.  1 means site is complete.  CONFIDENCE is 
the author's level of confidence that the cemetery is correctly located on 
the map or in existence.
Process Date: 20050600


GeoPlan received this data, via CDROM, and performed the following: 
-Reprojected to the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. 
-Restructured the attribute table to fit the SCE Data Specification Document Standards. 
-Added FGDLAQDATE field based on the date FGDL acquired the 
data from the source. 
-Added DESCRIPT field based on 'NAME'
Process Date: 20051000
