Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Street addresses for colleges and universities were obtained from the Web site of the Indiana Commission for Higher Education and are assumed to be accurate. Geocoding was performed by personnel of the Indiana University Architect's Office. Editing of some locations was performed by personnel of the Indiana Geological Survey using the "Editor" tool in ESRI ArcMap version 9.2, together with information obtained from Google searches, MapQuest (<http://www.mapquest.com/maps/>), and inspection of aerial photographs of the 2005 Indiana Orthophotography Project.
Logical_Consistency_Report: No checks for logical consistency were made.
Completeness_Report:
All colleges and universities listed by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education have been included.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Automated geocoding typically produces locations that are generally within several hundred feet of actual locations.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The vertical positional accuracy was not a factor in the production of this shapefile.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Personnel of the Indiana Geological Survey obtained an ESRI ArcMap shapefile (IN_HIGHER_ED_FINAL.SHP) from personnel of the Indiana University Architect's Office. The shapefile contained a field named "Errors" that indicated that the locations of certain records were uncertain, based on the results of geocoding by personnel of the Indiana University Architect's Office. Using the ESRI ArcMap editing tool, IGS personnel edited the locations of the 13 points that had locational errors, using information gathered from Google searches, Mapquest, and inspection of the color aerial photographs of the 2005 Indiana Orthophotography Project. The following fields were deleted from IN_HIGHER_ED_FINAL.SHP - Street, State_out, Latitude, Longitude, Tract_out, Block_out, Geocoding_, Zip_out, City_out, ID_1, ID, OBJECTID, and Errors. The field named "City" was renamed as "City_IN." The field named "Zone" was renamed as "ZIP." The field named "Address_Ou" was renamed as "Address." A field named "IGS_Edit" was added. The revised shapefile was saved as SCHOOLS_HIGHER_EDUCATION_ICHE_IN.SHP.
