Tompkins County ITS GIS Division. Building data outside the City of Ithaca originally vectorized by Hitachi Software. Original orthoimagery (Color Infrared) from the NYS Office of Cyber Security Critical Infrastructure Coordination, 2002. City of Ithaca data originally produced by NYSEG and subsequently updated by the City of Ithaca Planning Department.
Native Data Set Environment
Microsoft Windows Desktop 7 Professional Service Pack 1; ESRI ArcGIS 10.2.0.3348
Data Quality Information
Logical Consistency Report
All polygons in this dataset is part of an ArcGIS geodatabase and consistency is maintained using ArcGIS map topology and geodatabase topology rules, then exported to a shapefile. Error checking is performed in the source data set. Please keep in mind that this dataset is not field checked and as with any features extraction process there are going to be polygons that looked like buildings on an aerial photo but are not in the field.
Completeness Report
Complete for the entire county.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
Varies, depending on source of building footprint. The accuracy of the data set ranges from the accuracy of the 1991 Tompkins County Planimetric Base Map series data in the City to the accuracy of the 2002 aerial photos and later sources.
