RESOURCE GROUP
Geodataset Name: SHPO_RES_GROUPS Geodataset Type: SHAPE Geodataset Feature: POLYGON
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This dataset contains resource group locations and attributes as recorded at the Florida Master Site File. Resource groups are historical districts, archaeological districts or building complexes. Individual resources contributing to the resource group are usually (but are not always) separately listed in the Florida Master Site File.

FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:
ITEM ITEM DESCRIPTION
SHAPE Data attribute inherent to the ESRI shapefile format,
which defines the data as a point, polyline, or polygon.
AREA The area of the region in coverage units
PERIMETER The perimeter of the region in coverage units
RG Internal Arc/Info id number
RG-ID Arc/Info user id number
SITEID This is the state site number (used as the primary key for all Site
File databases). The state site number is an eight character
string containing a two character county code, a five character
numeric code ranging from 00001 to 99999, and an optional single
letter character (suffix letter is generally used to indicate sites
that are functionally or spatially related). A list of county
codes can be found at the end of this document.
FORMNO The Site File ID number of the site form used to create this record
(the active form).
SITENAME The site name as recorded at the Florida Master Site File. Usually
the principal or best known name for a cultural resource. A site
name of "NN" indicates no name has been designated for the site.
RG_TYPE This is a coded value indicating the type of resource group
represented. There are four possible values:
DINA - Historical district (buildings or structures, no
archaeological sites)
DIAD - Archaeological district
DIMD - Mixed district containing both archaeological sites and
buildings or structures
BCSF - Multiple buildings in close functional or spatial association
CATEGORY This a coded value indicating the National Register of Historic
Places category the resource group fits into. The possible values
are:
BLDG - Building(s)
DIST - District
OBJE - Object
SITE - Site
STRU - Structure
MRA - Multiple Resource Area
TG - Thematic Group
MPS - Multiple Property Submission
CITY The city in which the resource group is located (or nearest city)
TOTALCR The total number of cultural resources included in the resource
group. For districts this number includes both contributing and
non-contributing resources.
CONTRIBCR For districts this indicates the number of contributing resources.
TIMESIG Time period of significance. This is a date range for historic
resources and an archaeological phase name with approximate date
for prehistoric resources.
NARR_DESC This is a summary narrative description of the resource group.
HISTASSC_1-6 Areas of historical significance. These are categories defined
in "National Register Bulletin 15", p.8. Each resource group may
have multiple areas of significance.
SVEVALTN The surveyor's summary of the significance of the resource group.
D_NRLISTED Date that the resource was officially listed on the National
Register of Historic Places. The field is blank if the Site File
database does not identify the resource as listed on the National
Register.

USER NOTES:
WARNINGS TO THE USER: The locations of archaeological sites, historic structures, unmarked human burials, cemeteries, and other cultural features contained in this (and other) Florida Master Site File data layers are for resource management, law enforcement, and research purposes only. 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. 1:250000 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 section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our web pages at: http://www.geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
This data was originally created by the Division of Historical Resources. The data was received on a CDrom in Coverage format. The data was released in January 2003. When received, 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.
