FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES:

Datafile Name: FDEM_COLLEGE_JAN08.DBF

FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:

Item	Item Description
OBJECTID	Internal feature number.
ID	Unique identifier for feature.
METLNKID	Link to Metadata.
FEATTYPE	Geometry type of feature. POINT = Feature is represented by point.
SECCLASS	Security classification of feature. UNCLASSIFIED = Entity is unclassified. TREAT AS UNCLASSIFIED - FOUO = Entity is unclassified and should be treated as "For Official Use Only".
NAME	Name of entity.
AREA_	Three (3) digit telephone area code for entity.
PHONE	Seven (7) digit telephone number for entity formatted as nnn-nnnn. All alphabetic characters have been translated to the corresponding numeric digit.
ADDRESS	Physical street address for entity. "PO Box", "General Delivery", "Rural Route", and "Highway Contract" addresses are not considered physical addresses and should not appear in this attribute. Some areas do not have regular city style addressing so entities in those areas may not have a street number. In such cases, the name of the road they are located on is listed in this attribute. Some rural areas may not have named roads. In these rare cases, this attribute will be blank.
ADDRESS2	Location within physical address, e.g., floor, suite, building.
CITY	The name of the city associated with the entity's physical address. For physical addresses that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) delivers to, this should be a "city" acceptable to the USPS as defined in their Address Information System (AIS). Sometimes the USPS does not deliver mail to a physical address but recognizes the location (i.e., they list the location as "undeliverable"). The cities associated with these locations are acceptable. In some cases, the USPS does not recognize individual physical addresses in a city, rather, they list the city as having "General Delivery". In these cases, the city and associated zip code are acceptable (the entity's [ADDRESS] attribute will contain a street address, not "general delivery"). The entity may not actually be located within the city limits of the "city" specified in its city field. Instead, it may actually be located within the city limits of another city. In some cases, the "city" that appears in this attribute may not even be a city in an administrative sense, but it is still an acceptable "city" to the USPS. An example of this is "Notre Dame, IN". There is no city in Indiana called "Notre Dame", but this is considered an acceptable city by the USPS for any delivery going to the University of Notre Dame which is actually located in the city of South Bend. "Notre Dame", like most USPS cities, is an easily recognized place, and it gives the user of the data a good general idea of where the entity is located (if the entity is located in a small municipality, the USPS "city" may be more recognizable than the name of the municipality), and it would be part of the address one would use to send a shipment to the entity's location. Using the USPS acceptable "city" also allows someone to do a logical consistency check between the zip code and the city by using the USPS AIS. Sometimes an entity may report a city that is not accepted by the USPS, and although TGS has tried to replace those cities with an acceptable alternative, some of them may remain in this dataset.
STATE	Two (2) character abbreviation for state associated with the entity's physical address. In almost all cases this is the same as the state where the entity has been depicted geospatially. However, there are cases, particularly where an entity is part of a larger facility that cuts across state lines, where the entity's location may be depicted in a state other than the one indicated in this attribute. Also, the state in which an entity appears to be located may change depending on the scale of the state boundary theme being used.
ZIP	Five (5) digit USPS zip code for entity's physical location.
ZIPP4	Four (4) digit USPS zip code extension. This attribute was automatically assigned using the entity's physical address and USPS address information system (AIS) data.
COUNTY	County name where entity is located.
FIPS	Five (5) digit FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) Code for the County where entity is located. The first two (2) digits represent the state and the last three (3) digits identify the county within the state.
DIRECTIONS	Directions to entity location, or description of the entity's location.
EMERGTITLE	Title of person or name of office for emergency point of contact.
EMERGPHONE	Ten (10) digit telephone number of emergency point of contact formatted as nnn-nnn-nnnn. All alphabetic characters have been translated to the corresponding numeric digit.
EMERGEXT	Telephone extension for emergency point of contact.
CONTDATE	Date entity was contacted by TGS.
CONTHOW	Method by which entity was contacted. PHONE = Entity was contacted by phone. FAX = Entity was contacted by fax. MAIL = Entity was contacted by mail. EMAIL = Entity was contacted by email. WEB = Entity information was gathered and/or verified by official entity website as a last resort. ALT REF = Geospatial reference information obtained from local authorities, e.g., downloadable parcel maps, 911 streets, and shapefiles.
GEODATE	Date entity was geocoded by TGS.
GEOHOW	Method by which entity was geocoded. AUTO = Entity was automatically geocoded. MANUAL = Entity was manually geocoded. ADJUSTED = Entity was shifted by TGS to an updated set of NAVTEQ streets. This only applies if the entity was manually geocoded by TGS to a previous version of NAVTEQ streets. PROVIDED = Entity was geocoded using coordinates provided by the state.
NAICSCODE	NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) Code for entity. NAICS Codes (and NAICS Descriptions) have been assigned based upon the entity's primary function, regardless of if that is the function that qualified it to be included in this dataset.
NAICSDESCR	NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) Description for entity. The "Index Entries" that appear on the NAICS webpage (http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html) are being used to populate this attribute as opposed to the "NAICS Title". While there is a one to one correspondence between NAICS Codes and "NAICS Titles", there is a one to many relationship between NAICS Codes and the "Index Entries". By using the "Index Entries", we have placed the entities that make up this layer into more specific categories; however, the user of this data should be aware that this was not the intended purpose of these "Index Entries". The "Index Entries" were intended as a way to search the NAICS database and as a way of enumerating ways in which establishments falling under the given NAICS Code may be named. Thus, there are often two or more "Index Entries" that are synonyms, for example: "Prisons" and "Penitentiaries". In cases like this, we have standardized on one "Index Entry". NAICS Descriptions (and NAICS Codes) have been assigned based upon the entity's primary function, regardless of the function that qualified it to be included in this dataset.

USER NOTES:

See "Attribute_Accuracy_Report". Many of the checks described in that section check for both attribute accuracy and logical consistency.

This dataset consists of Colleges and Universities. The Colleges and Universities dataset is composed of any type of Post Secondary Education such as: colleges, universities, technical schools, trade schools, business schools, satellite (branch) campuses, etc. that grant First Professional, Associate, Bachelors, Masters, or Doctoral degrees. Secondary education facilities, Administrative offices, or Post Secondary Education facilities that are non degree granting schools are intended to be excluded from this dataset, but a few may be included.

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data. For entities that were contacted, the name, address, city, state, and five (5) digit zip codes were verified to be correct as of the date indicated by the [CONTDATE] attribute. The existence of the entity was also verified, as well as whether or not it met the criteria for inclusion in this dataset. Four (4) digit zip code extensions were derived from USPS (United States Postal Service) data and were not verified. ID Check: The [ID] attribute is not blank and all IDs are unique. Coordinate Check: Coordinates are not null or zero and the x and y fields match the shape. Basic Address Check: Physical addresses were verified to be non blank and to not be a "PO Box", "General Delivery", "Highway Contract", or "Rural Route" address. Highway Address without Type Check: Physical addresses containing the word "Highway" or "Route" were verified to also contain a type designator such as "State", "US", or "County", if one actually exists for the highway or route. These type designators are often missing from addresses, leading to confusion if more than one "Highway" of the given number exists in an area. Basic Name Check: Entity name is not blank, is not the same as entity city, and has a minimum of 2 characters. Name does not contain punctuation characters that can interfere with database operations, such as " (quote) and * (asterisk). Basic Phone Check: All phone numbers (including the area code) are ten (10) numeric digits. Alphabetic characters have been converted to the corresponding numeric digit. City Check: Entity city is not blank and is found in the named places file within 25 miles. County FIPS to State Compare Check: The county represented by the tabular FIPS Code attribute is actually in the state specified by the state attribute. County Name to State Compare Check: The county represented by the tabular county name attribute is actually in the state specified by the state attribute. Phone Number Format Check: Phone numbers (including area code) were verified to be formatted as nnn-nnn-nnnn. NPA_NXX Check: Area codes (sometimes called "Number Planning Areas", or NPA's) and central office codes (sometimes known as exchanges, or NXX's) were validated against data from the North American Number Planning Administration (NANPA). In some cases, NPA-NXX combinations did not show up in the NANPA data but were verified to work. Area Code Distance Check: Area code (NPA) is valid and is within its area code boundary. Zip Code Check: The zip code is five (5) or nine (9) numeric digits, is listed in the postal database, is in the same state as indicated by the entity's [STATE] attribute, and is not a PO Box only zip code. Zip City Check: The entity's zip code and its city were verified to match according to the USPS Address Information System (AIS). Collocation Check: Entities with different addresses must not share the exact same geospatial location. Geographic Spell Check: Words that appear in the entity name were checked against a standard English word list (and Spanish word list for entities in Puerto Rico). Words not appearing in these standard word lists were then checked against names appearing in the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) of geographic features that are located within 25 miles of the entity. Proper names were manually reviewed for correct spelling.

Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) Home / Preparedness / Information Management / Critical Facilities http://www.floridadisaster.org/gis/criticalfacilities/index.htm Critical Facilities To assist in emergency response and planning, the GIS Lab, working with local, state, and federal agencies maintains shelters, emergency operations centers, critical facilities, and hazardous material facilities datasets. "Critical facilities" are defined as those structures from which essential services and functions for victim survival, continuation of public safety actions, and disaster recovery are performed or provided. Shelters, emergency operation centers, public health, public drinking water, sewer and wastewater facilities are examples of critical facilities. Though not explicitly included in the definition, supporting life-line infrastructure essential to the mission of critical facilities must also be included in the inventory when appropriate. "Critical infrastructure" is defined as those systems and assets, whether physical or virtual, so vital that the incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact on security, economy, public health or safety, or any combination of these elements. The domain of the GIS Lab is specifically related to "critical facilities", while working closely with Florida's Regional Domestic Security Task Forces to ensure a safe and secure Florida. Several critical facilities data layers are maintained by other agencies, and the GIS Lab works closely with these agencies to make sure updated data is readily available. Examples include: * Drinking Water Facilities - Florida Department of Environmental Protection * Environmental Health Facilities - Florida Department of Health * Fire Stations - Florida State Fire Marshal * Health Care Facilities - Agency for Health Care Administration * Petroleum Storage Tanks - Florida Department of Environmental Protection * Schools - Florida Department of Education * Solid Waste Facilities - Florida Department of Environmental Protection Other data layers, like Hazardous Materials Facilities, Mobile Home Parks, and Hotel/Motels, while not specifically critical facilities, are facilities of interest for emergency managers, and the GIS Lab is also actively involved in facilitating access to these data layers. Homeland Security Infrastructure Program The Homeland Security Infrastructure Program (HSIP) is a collection of base map layers and homeland security related geospatial data. Currently, the emphasis of this program is on sharing and improving data to create uniform state & federal information. Working with contractors, the GIS Lab is providing data from state and local sources for QA/QC under the HSIP Freedom project. * Correctional Facilities - delivered April 2007 * Emergency Operations Centers - July 2007 * Fire Stations - t.b.a. * Police Stations - t.b.a. * Emergency Medical Services - t.b.a. * Hospitals - t.b.a. * Urgent Care Facilities - t.b.a. Emergency Management GIS Data Downloads At this time, FDEM does not provide datasets for download, but may be contacted (Richard Butgereit 850-413-9907) for further information.

Homeland Security Use Cases: Use cases help define and clarify requirements, and describe how the data may be used. 1) Identification of populations that may need to be evacuated in the event of an emergency. 2) Notification of groups of people who may be at risk from a contagious disease outbreak.

The geographic location of contacted entities was verified to be correct relative to the street data and version indicated by the [ST_VENDOR] and [ST_VERSION] attributes. The horizontal accuracy is indicated by the [GEOPREC] attribute. A value of "BLOCKFACE" indicates the entity was geocoded on the correct block and correct side of the street. A value of "ONENTITY" indicates that the location is on the entity's facility as determined by USGS DOQQ imagery and that it is on the correct block and correct side of the street.

This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. 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:

1) Verified name, physical address, and phone numbers by contacting the entity or an authority responsible for the entity. 2) Determined or verified the geospatial location for the entity through contact with entity or authority responsible for entity. Entities were asked to describe their geospatial location relative to land marks visible in ortho imagery. 3) All text fields were set to all upper case. 4) Leading and trailing spaces were trimmed from all text fields. 5) Non printable and diacritic characters were removed from all text fields. Process Date: 20080116 GeoPlan Center received the data via FTP from the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) on March 18, 2008. The original dataset was named: 2008_01_16_FL_COLL_UNIV.shp The original dataset projection was: Spatial_Reference_Information: Horizontal_Coordinate_System_Definition: Geographic: Latitude_Resolution: 0.000000 Longitude_Resolution: 0.000000 Geographic_Coordinate_Units: Decimal degrees Geodetic_Model: Horizontal_Datum_Name: D_WGS_1984 Ellipsoid_Name: WGS_1984 Semi-major_Axis: 6378137.000000 Denominator_of_Flattening_Ratio: 298.257224 The dataset was renamed to: fdem_college_jan08.shp The dataset was reprojected to the FGDL Albers NAD83 HARN projection. The dataset features were matched to their 1-kilometer United States National Grid (USNG) address via a spatial join, the USNG address can be found in the USNG_FL_1K field. The USNG is an alpha-numeric reference system based on the UTM coordinate system and is similar to the Military Grid Reference System. Use of the USNG ensures a uniform grid mapping and positional reporting system for search and rescue, emergency planning, response, and recovery. How to Read a United States National Grid (USNG) Spatial Address http://www.fgdc.gov/usng/how-to-read-usng/index_html Three additional fields were added. DESCRIPT field based on NAME FGDLAQDATE field based on the date the data was acquired by FGDL from the source. AUTOID field based on FID + 1, GeoPlan Center feature identification number. Finally the attribute table was upper-cased and the metadata was updated. Process Date: 20080319 Data imported to ArcSDE and exported as a shapefile. Process Date: 20080327
