Why was the data set created?

Assessment

How was the data set created?

1. From what previous works were the data drawn?

   Variable (source 1 of 1)

   Type_of_Source_Media: Hardcopy survey maps

   Source_Scale_Denominator: 1" = 50', 1" = 100', 1" = 200', 1" = 400'

2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

   Date: May 2005 (process 1 of 1)

   An AutoCAD drawing was converted to GIS format. Attribution exported from the Warren County (Real Property System (RPS) was joined to the boundary layer.

   GIS acres were calculated and values added to the GISACRES attribute field.

3. What similar or related data should the user be aware of?

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

1. How well have the observations been checked?

   Information is accurate as Map 2005.

4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?

   The physical placement of the parcel boundaries is complete as of May 2005. Merges and splits in parcel boundaries after this date are NOT reflected in the geometry of the layer.

5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?

How can someone get a copy of the data set?
