Why was the data set created?

This data was created to assist governmental agencies and others in making resource management decisions through use of a Geographic Information System (GIS).

How was the data set created?

  1. From what previous works were the data drawn?

    None (source 1 of 1)
    NC Department of Administration, Division of Non-Public Education, 20071228, Non-Public Schools: NC Department of Administration, Division of Non-Public Education, Raleigh, North Carolina.

    Source_Contribution: Non-Public Schools

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

    Date: 07-Mar-2003 (process 1 of 1)
    Point locations were generated using geocoding in Arcview from the non-public schools address list provided by the NC Department of Administration, Division of Non-Public Education on 3/07/03. Points that could not be generated using geocoding were interactively added in arcedit using mapquest.com and/or the directions to each school posted on the www.doa.state.nc.us/dnpe/hhh700.htm website. This digital file is updated as changes occur.

  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?

    Point locations were generated using geocoding in Arcview from the non-public schools address list provided by the Division of Non-Public Education. Points that could not be generated using geocoding were interactively added in arcedit using mapquest.com and/or the directions to each school posted on the Division of Non-Public Education website. This digital file is updated as changes occur.

  2. How accurate are the geographic locations?

    The majority of Non-Public Schools were generated using geocoding in Arcview. The point generated in the processing would be snapped to the road identified in the address field. Therefore, point locations are coincident with the GDT roads data.

  3. How accurate are the heights or depths?

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

    These data represent the locations of Non-Public Schools in North Carolina as listed by the NC Department of Administration, Division of Non-Public Education. The locations were either address-matched using ArcView geocoding or matched manually using mapquest.com and/or the directions to each school posted on the www.doa.state.nc.us/dnpe/hhh700.htm website.

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

    Using ESRI's ARC/INFO GIS software, the dataset was built for point topology using the "build" command. Topology has not been edited since the last build or clean.

How can someone get a copy of the data set?

Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?

Access_Constraints: None
Use_Constraints:
