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'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center

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

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
The following Water Management District Land Use/ Land Cover data 
sets were used in the creation of the data layer.

LU_SRWMD_2017 (Newest dataset, publication date: 20190225)
LU_NWFWMD_2016
LU_SFWMD_2016 
LU_SJRWMD_2014
LU_SWFWMD_2011


The five WMD layers were combined in the order given above to create one 
statewide land use layer. 
Overlaps were erased giving precedence to the dataset with the latest date 
and the newest information.


Finally the newly created LU_L3_STATE_NOV18 dataset was cleaned up 
using the following techniques.
1. The geometry was then cleaned using the repair geometry tool.
2. The layer was then converted from multipart to single part.
3. The following fields were created and updated ACRES, AREA, LENG, SLIVER, and TEST.  
     The following calculation was used to populate the SLIVER field: 
     4 * (( 3.14 * [area] ) / ( [leng] * [leng] ))

     The TEST field was calculated using the equation [ACRES] * [SLIVER].
4.  A selection was made where TEST < 0.1
    The Eliminate command was then run on this selection set.
5. Further slivers were eliminated using the following selection sets:
    ACRES < 0.5 AND SLIVER < 0.2
6. Slivers that were not absorbed via the Eliminate command were later deleted.
7. Finally the repair geometry function was run once more and the ACRES field was updated.
