Abstract: The voting ward coverage was created to represent the voting wards in Columbia County. The burden for determining 'fitness for use' rests entirely upon the requestor. Columbia County and its co-producers will not be liable in any way for accuracy of the data, and assume no responsibility whatsoever for direct, indirect, special, consequential, exemplary or other damages.

FGDC and ESRI Metadata:

Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.

Abstract:
The voting ward coverage was created to represent the voting wards in Columbia County.  The burden for determining 'fitness for use' rests entirely upon the requestor.  Columbia County and its co-producers will not be liable in any way for accuracy of the data, and assume no responsibility whatsoever for direct, indirect, special, consequential, exemplary or other damages.

Purpose:
Voting District data provides consultants, planners, resource managers and other county staff with information on the location on municipalities within Columbia County.  The information contained in this coverage is one of Wisconsin Land Information Program's foundational elements and supports the county's goals and objectives relating to land information as well as the county's information technology vision, mission, goals, strategies and plan.

Data Quality Information:


Attribute accuracy:
Attribute accuracy report:
Voting districts feature attributes were created by the local municipalities through the 2000 - 2001 redistricting project.  Data is maintained by information taken from the County and local Clerk's or officials.  The Columbia County Land Information Office Geospatial Technologies Section checked 100% of the data for attribute accuracy.

Logical consistency report:
This data set is topological structured for polygons and arcs for the entire Columbia County area. The geographic data represented by this coverage is stored according to a vector based data type.  With a vector data structure, geographic entities are represented as point, lines, and areas depicted on a 2-dimensional surface.  Each point is identified by a single x-y location; lines are identified by a sequence of x-y coordinates; areas are identified by a series of x-y coordinates as defined by line segments that close to form a polygon.

Completeness report:
The features represented in this data set are, to the best knowledge of the Columbia County Land Information Office, representative of all administrative boundaries of this type represented in Columbia County.  Data is updated continually using documents recorded with the Columbia County Register of Deeds.

Positional accuracy:
Horizontal positional accuracy:
Horizontal positional accuracy report:
Accuracy of this digital data is dependent upon the scale, date, and origin of the source material used to create this geographic data set.

Process description:
Voting districts features and attributes were created by the local municipalities through the 2000 - 2001 redistricting project.  Data was orginally derived from the 1990 and then the 2000 US Census Bureau TIGER Line Data.  Voting districtis were then adjusted as necessary by the Columbia County Board of Supervisors in conjunction with the County Clerk and local governing boards and Clerks.  After acceptance by the full Columbia County Board, the Official Voting Distirct Boundary was adjusted to other local sources of data maintained by the Land Information Department.  Boundaries are maintained as necessary by information taken from the County and local Clerk's or officials.
