FLORIDA GEOGRAPHIC DATA LIBRARY DOCUMENTATION

TITLE: ROADS CHARACTERISTICS INVENTORY - WORK PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM ROADS (NIGHTLY UPDATES)

Geodataset Name:       RCI_GAMING
Geodataset Type:       SHAPEFILE
Geodataset Feature:    Polyline
Feature Count:         Varies Daily
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This data set contains roads extracted from the Roads Characteristics Inventory (RCI) database. These are roads that are currently in the work program administration system, aka "Gaming Cycle". This SDE layer is updated nightly based on a csv file uploaded to a secure GeoPlan ftp site. The layer is created using linear referencing with the event table being the csv file.

USER NOTES:
This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity
of the original data layer's topology
This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our
knowledge.
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.

The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS 
systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

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

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

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
This data is uploaded by FDOT as a csv file to a secure GeoPlan ftp site daily. The 
csv file is named GISROADYYYYMMDD.CSV. A python script is executed nightly 
to convert the csv to a linear referenced layer based on the RCI layer 
basemap_route_road. Data from the previous day is deleted from the SDE feature 
class and the new data is appended. An email is then sent to GeoPlan staff with 
confirmation and any errors that may have occurred.
