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'.

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:

The GeoPlan Center performed the following steps in order to create the November 2015 statewide cemetery boundaries data layer. GeoPlan used the available 2014 parcel tax data records, gathered by PANDA Consulting from the 67-County Property Appraisers and the State Department of Revenue (DOR), to create the GC_CEMETERYBND_NOV15 shapefile. Parcels that intersected the GC_CEMETERY_NOV15.shp were selected and exported to a new facilities boundary layer and given the point layers same unique GCID number. Each location was reviewed and abutting parcels that contained cemetery property were appended to the existing facility boundary. All GC_CEMETERY_NOV15 attribute table information was joined over based on the corresponding unique GCID number. The GC_CEMETERYBND_NOV15.shp PARCELID and OWNER fields information was shared back to the GC_CEMETERY_NOV15 point layer based on the GCID. Process Date: 20151111 The GeoPlan Center performed the following steps in order to create the May 2019 statewide cemetery data layer. GeoPlan added 61 cemetery features. Some of the features added were discovered through SHPO. Other features were acquired via the 2018 Parcel dataset and county website textual information. Cemetery locations were checked using imagery and Google Street View and either marked as Verified or Not Verified in the FLAG field, please see the FLAG field Attribute Definition for more information. During the Spatial and Tabular QAQC updates were made. Next GeoPlan Center performed the following attribute table adjustments. -Socio-Cultural Effect data fields were updated. -Upper cased all records. -Added DESCRIPT field based on NAME. -Added FGDLAQDATE field and populated it. Process Date: 20190531 Dataset copied. Process Date: 20190621
