HospitalFootprints

Data format: Personal GeoDatabase Feature Class

File or table name: HospitalFootprints

Coordinate system: State Plane Coordinate System 1983

Theme keywords: Hospital Footprint
Abstract: This is a POLYGON FOOTPRINT layer representing building dimensions of hospitals in the Boston area. Point data was collected and building dimensions were identified over 2001 color aerial othophotographs from MassGIS.

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.
