Data Quality Information:


Attribute accuracy:
Attribute accuracy report:

Visual inspection of the 1999 land use and land cover data over the DOQQs. The 1995 land use and land cover data was used as reference data. Additional checks included Arc/INFO's labelerror procedures to verify proper annotation of features. No statistical accuracy verifications have been done. Based on past projects of a similar nature it is estimated that classification accuracies of between 80% - 90% can be expected for Level II categories. In December 2003, domains were created for several attributes. These were 'FLUCCSCODE', 'LEV1', 'LEV2', and 'LEV3'. The domains were named dFLUCCS, dLEV1, dLEV2, and dLEV3. The codes were the attribute values and the descriptions were the descriptions of the fluccs code levels. These were used to validate the attributes. Errors, if any, were corrected in ArcMap 8.3.


Logical consistency report:

The final product was checked against the source material. The Mapping and GIS section of the Southwest Florida Water Management District corrected any errors found.


Completeness report:

There are no significant omissions.


Positional accuracy:
Horizontal positional accuracy:
Horizontal positional accuracy report:

Visual inspection of the 1999 linework over the DOQQs, at a scale of 1:8,000, was used to verify the positional placement of the linework. Data is estimated to be compliant with the National Map Accuracy Standards for 1:12,000, estimated +/- 33.3 feet. Dates range between July and September of 2001. The goal of this project was to update the existing 1995 land use and land cover data layer using the 1999 DOQQs that meet or exceed National Map Accuracy Standards for 1:12,000. Land use and land cover boundaries are not always well defined, however, given the use of ancillary data sources (e.g. soils data or National Wetlands Inventory) to determine feature boundaries, it is expected that data acreage should be accurate.

Process description:

Each quarter quadrangle, within the District, was plotted out two times; once with the existing 1995 land use/cover linework, attribute and the 1995 doqq and a second with the 1995 land use/cover, attribute and the 1999 doqq. The plots were plotted out at a scale of 1:8000. Changes that occurred with the land use or cover between the 1995 and 1999 study were documented on the 1:8000 plot using a green marker. Linework or labels that were to be removed were indicated by placing a series of "x" over the linework to be deleted. New linework and labels were delineated as a solid line. Only areas of change between 1995 and 1999 were delineated. The 1995 land use/cover was assumed to be corrected. The 1999 land use/cover map standards remained the same as the 1995 land use: must fit feature boundaries at a scale of 1:12,000, minimum mapping unit of .5 acres for wetlands and 5 acres for uplands. The FDOT's Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS) was used to classify all features. Ancillary data sources were used to the fullest extent to ensure proper delineation of land use/cover features. These data sources included: 1984, 1990, 1994/1995 color infrared aerial photography; 1990 and 1995 land use/cover, National Wetlands Inventory 1:24,000 maps, NRCS county soil surveys and SWFWMD aerial mapping sheets. Additionally, interpreters had the stereo pairs for 1999/2000 photography to view stereoscopically to verify feature delineations. Any features that could not be reliably interpreted were field reviewed. Land use and land cover features were delineated, on screen, using the 1999/2000 USGS color infrared (CIR) digital orthophoto quarter quadrangles (doqqs) as a back drop. Edits were made, using heads-up digitizing in ArcEdit, with the 1995 land use/cover as the edit coverage. Linework and labels were added, deleted or reshaped according to the corrections delineated on the interpreted image plots. Using the 1995 land use/cover as the edit cover ensured that sliver polygons were not generated with boundaries that remained unchanged. Topology was generated using the ArcINFO BUILD or CLEAN command. The completed coverage was examined for unlabeled and multiple labeled polygons using the ArcINFO LABELERRORS command. Dangle nodes were checked for using the NODEERRORS command. Any errors found were corrected using ArcEdit. Upon completion of digitizing, all the individual coverages were visually inspected in ArcView with the 1999/2000 doqq and the 1995 land use/cover as backdrops. Any feature delineation errors or attribute errors were brought to the interpreters attention and corrections made in ArcEdit. The completed coverages were appended together using the MAPJOIN command and common boundaries removed using the DISSOLVE command. Topology was generated for the final coverage using the BUILD command. The final coverage was examined for correct projection, fuzzy tolerance (.001 meters), labelerrors, and attribute items.

Process description:

In July of 2003, the area of Polk county controlled by St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) was given to the Southwest Florida Water Management District. For this portion, Land use and land cover features were delineated, on screen, using the 1999/2000 USGS color infrared (CIR) digital orthophoto quarter quadrangles (doqqs) as a back drop. Edits were made, using heads-up digitizing in ArcEdit 8.3. Topology was generated using the ArcINFO BUILD or CLEAN command. The completed coverage was examined for unlabeled and multiple labeled polygons using the ArcINFO LABELERRORS command. Dangle nodes were checked for using the NODEERRORS command. Any errors found were corrected using ArcEdit. This portion was then appended to the existing layer using the MAPJOIN command and common boundaries removed using the DISSOLVE command. Topology was generated for the final coverage using the BUILD command. The final coverage was examined for correct projection, fuzzy tolerance (.001 meters), labelerrors, and attribute items.

Process step:
Process description:

In December 2003, an enterprise geodatabase was designed and implemented. Coverages were converted into feature classes using ArcCatalog 8.3. The feature classes were created new in a feature dataset, with column names, shape type, grid size, and projection information defined during creation. An X/Y Domain and Precision were set at MinX: -700,000; MinY: 2,000,000; Precision: 1000. Z-Values were set at MinZ: -20; Precision: 1000. The Grid Tile Size is 4,500. Data was then loaded into the feature classes from the coverages using the 'Load Data' tool in ArcCatalog 8.3. Indexes were created for attributes when there were more than 100 records in the data set. See Attribute Accuracy for attribute domains used for attribute validation.
