For more information contact us at blm_id_stateoffice@blm.gov. The intent of this dataset is to depict Idaho recreation sites (i.e., point features). Evidently, a series of fields supporting an NLCS web display functionality were operating in the background (these infrastructure protocols were intended to support NLCS-centric directives conceived of and implemented early in the national data standard development process). This realization initiated a drive at the NOC to document and integrate the NLCS-related needs, thus resulting in Interim Standard v1.2. For more information on the NLCS component. The final data standard was nearing completion. The participants in the review included the two state leads, the State Data Administrator. Concerns highlighted in the comments included the practicality of maintaining an NLCS component (i.e., the only points on blm.gov/visit that stem from the geospatial dataset are represented by a limited number of the NLCS sites, while the majority of displayed place markers stem from RIDB), the general need to reconcile multiple overlapping systems of record, and the potentially onerous nature of certain new database schema implementations (e.g., apparent push to view sites as polygons, while identifying individual amenities using point features).

Contact the Originator for offline datasets. dataset The Interim RECS Data Standard v1.2 is not characterized by related tables; hence, logical consistency is not applicable. The final standard (i.e., the new Version 1.0) will involve related objects, and will need to be scrutinized for logical consistency. This standard is expected to be implemented in 2019. A limited number of QA/QC data calls were not completely fulfilled following initial implementation; nevertheless, the current iteration is considered the most comprehensive dataset available. A limited number of QA/QC data calls were not completely fulfilled following initial implementation. Also, the dataset contains site amenities info that is somewhat likely to not have been subject to regular updating prior to being collated into the corporate dataset. The dataset is also characterized by non-BLM sites, making accounting of site disposition over time even more elusive. Care was taken to maintain positional accuracy to the greatest extent practicable. Not all sites were individually reviewed by Field Office RECS / GIS staff, so limited positional accuracy errors may exist. CONSOLIDATION PREP - SOURCE DATA: IDSD1.REC_NOC_NLCSRecreationSitesWOProject_PUB_24K_POINT: This dataset is a manifestation of an NLCS-funded project by which specific recreation site locations and attributes were assembled to publish a Washington Office web-based map service. In addition to the National Standard suite of fields, this dataset contained at least four fields necessary to support the map service. This dataset comprised 45 point features specific to Craters of the Moon National Monument and the Birds of Prey National Conservation Area. This limited dataset was what was being replicated to the NOC until 2017. IDSD1.REC_IdahoRecreationSites_NLCS_CW_PUB_24K_POINT: This dataset is what JCourtright (former ISO GISS) described in an April 2015 metadata summary as the most current Idaho Recreation Sites feature class (FC). This FC contained 325 sites across the state and was apparently designed to function as one of several repositories collectively housing the most complete recreational site data. JCourtright further stated that this is a preliminary feature class that will likely develop and change over time in order to conform to the schema characteristic of Recreation.gov. According to JCourtright, Recreation.gov is informed by the Recreation Information Database, or RIDB (www.ridb.recreation.gov). JCourtright also explained that this feature class will join with BLM's Facility Asset Management System (FAMS) and/or BLM's Recreation Management Information System (RMIS) to provide the most detailed information available. Finally, he expressed the stated goal for this dataset as being intended to minimize the amount of attribute data directly incorporated into GIS; thus reducing data redundancy and the need for multiple editing sessions. Later, ISO's State Data Administrator, CMavencamp, explained that this dataset constituted the authoritative recs data, but that it also was never implemented into the NOC replication infrastructure. She directed that the fields in JCourtright's authoritative dataset be preserved in any subsequent compilation/consolidation work. State-Wide Data Call: CMavencamp issued a statewide data request for recreational site data at the local level, and furnished the resulting spatial data to EZiolkowski for collation and vetting. The spatial data represented the entire state at either the Field Office or District Office scale. 2017-02-01T00:00:00 Sprint GIS Analyst BLM Idaho State Office Sprint GIS Analyst 208-373-4000

7:45 A.M. - 4:15 P.M., Mountain Time, Monday - Friday processor CONSOLIDATION PREP - SOURCE DATA CONT'D: Raw Materials: The ingredients for the compilation dataset comprised eleven FCs including JCourtright's NOC replication/NLCS-centric dataset (hereafter "nlcs_rec_sites"), JCourtright's stand-alone/non-replication RMIS/RIDB/FAMS dataset (hereafter "id_rec_sites"), and nine local datasets originating from Field Office/District Office staff (hereafter "fodo_rec_sites", collectively). EZiolkowski established a new compilation framework using id_rec_sites as the foundation, and subsequently set out to reconcile all available datasets by systematically cross-referencing each dataset against id_rec_site, and, in some instances, against one another. Due to instances of source data overlap, this process sometimes required reconciliation across several datasets at once. To facilitate these workflows, a variety of new fields were created to help track data interrelationships, site location QA/QC needs, data sources, and miscellaneous comments. (Note, some of these fields were omitted in the final product.) Additionally, field names were formatted such that national standard required fields appear in uppercase font, original id_rec_sites fields appear in camel case, and fields added by EZiolkowski appear in lowercase. To evaluate source data interrelationships, EZiolkowski executed a series of ArcGIS Select By Location queries revealing the following conditions: (1) site names match AND site locations are coincident, (2) site names match, but site locations are not coincident, (3) site names do not match, but site locations are coincident, and (4) site names do not match AND site locations are not coincident (i.e., unique site). Note that the IDE1 representation of the final product will include data across all management agencies (e.g., BLM, USFS, IDFG), while the IDNOC (NOC replication) representation will include only BLM sites. (Note, the compilation dataset will henceforth be referred to by its national standard schema name, "recs_pt".) Finally, EZiolkowski added all IDFG Fishing/Boating Access Sites (per IDFG's Idaho Fish and Wildlife Information System) to the compilation dataset. 2017-02-08T00:00:00 Sprint GIS Analyst BLM Idaho State Office Sprint GIS Analyst 208-373-4000

7:45 A.M. - 4:15 P.M., Mountain Time, Monday - Friday processor CONSOLIDATION PROCESS STEPS: Reconcile nlcs_rec_sites and BoiseDistrict_shp with id_rec_sites: The nlcs_rec_sites dataset is attributed according to the current (coined "interim") national data standard, but also includes a number of fields that at least partially support the WO web-based map service. 30/45 nlcs_rec_sites records were found to be coincident with id_rec_sites. EZiolkowski deferred completely to id_rec_sites location and attribution for those 30 sites, except in instances where id_rec_sites had blank attribution; in which case, EZiolkowski cross-walked data from nlcs_rec_sites and/or BoiseDistrict_shp to id_rec_sites for use in the final compilation product (Note: 7/30 nlcs_rec_sites records coincident with id_rec_sites AND BoiseDistrict_shp). Deferred to id_rec_sites FET_TYPE and FET_SUBTYPE for the 30 coincident records (i.e., some disparity between id_rec_sites and nlcs_rec_sites with regard to these two fields). Ultimately, 15 unique nlcs_rec_sites records cross-walked into the compilation dataset. FET_NAME changes and site location verification implemented for two sites (FET_NAME = 'Croy Creek' and 'Celebration Park', respectively). nlcs_rec_sites DESCRIPTION field used to backfill blanks in id_rec_Sites DESCRIPTION_RIDB. Amongst name intersected records, FET_NAME = 'Celebration Park' appeared in both datasets, but the features appeared >265 meters apart. A QA/QC data request was issued to Four Rivers FO GIS SPEC (Mathew Hamilton) on 04/06/2017. In the end, one point was for the visitor center and the other for the trail system. Regarding other QA/QC problems, changed nlcs_rec_sites record FET_NAME = 'Coy Creek' to 'Croy Creek'. Reconcile BoiseDistrict_shp with id_rec_sites: 45/135 BoiseDistrict_shp features located in neighboring districts. For simplicity, EZiolkowski began by clipping strictly to Boise District, resulting in 90 records. 65/90 records coincident with id_rec_sites; thus, EZiolkowski deferred completely to id_rec_sites for site location and attribution (Note: 7/90 records were coincident with id_rec_sites AND nlcs_rec_sites). 3/90 records were name matched to id_rec_sites (i.e., deferred to id_rec_sites location/attribution). 13/90 unique BoiseDistrict_shp records cross-walked into the compilation dataset. Reconcile CDL_shp with id_rec_sites: CDL_shp feature count is 82. No spatially intersected points between the two datasets. 13 name intersections were observed. 7/13 were very nearly coincident and didn't call for follow-up. 6/13 records were sufficiently far apart to warrant QA/QC data request to the field (02/23/2017). Jim Hammons provided site location verification 04/14/2017. 69 unique CDL_shp records were cross-walked into the compilation dataset. Reconcile Cottonwood_recsites_24 with id_rec_sites: All records spatially coincident (i.e., deferred completely to id_rec_sites for location/attribution). Made note of unique fields in Cottonwood_recsistes_24 (e.g., Beach Access, Showers, Pavilion), but decided to defer completely to the id_rec_sites schema rather than assimilating somewhat specialized attributes. Reconcile Salmon_Recreation_Sites_24 with id_rec_sites: Salmon_Recreation_Sites_24 contains features in Salmon, Challis, Cottonwood, and Four Rivers FOs. The vast majority of records in this dataset are USFS sites. Out of 305 total records, 10 were coincident with id_rec_sites, 23 were name intersected with id_rec_sites, and a handful of others were spatially coincident with Challis_Recreation_Sites dataset. With regard to these records 37 records, the compilation dataset deferred completely to id_rec_sites. 3 records were discarded outright. 8 records (IDFG sites) were slated for substitution by the IDFG Fishing/Boating Access Sites dataset. 17 records were flagged for future site location QA/QC. Coordination with Josh Gibbs on QA/QC matters took place between February and April, 2017. Salmon_Recreation_Sites_24 was observed to contain site-specific descriptive fields additional to those already contained in id_rec_sites. Some of these (e.g., Drinking_Water, Toilets) were subsequently added to the compilation dataset. Ultimately, 235 unique records were cross-walked into the compilation dataset. Reconcile Challis_Recreation_Sites / Challis_Other_Rec_Sites (AND Salmon_Recreation_Sites_24) with id_rec_sites: 42 features in Challis_Recreation_Sites characterized by complex interrelationships with id_rec_sites, Challis_Other_Rec_Sites, and Salmon_Recreation_Sites_24 (i.e., name and/or coordinate intersections with many-to-many cardinality). Ultimately, the following final dispositions are attributable to the data: (a) 3/42 Challis_Recreation_Sites records were not considered for the compilation dataset due to site duplication across datasets, or lack of evidence for existence of sites in IDFG Fishing/Boating Access Site dataset, (b) 5 name and/or coordinate matched records saw attribution and location deference to the IDFG Fishing/Boating Access dataset, (c) 18 name and/or coordinate matched records saw attribution/location deference to id_rec_sites, (d) 16/42 unique records were cross-walked into the compilation dataset; 13 of which were flagged for site location QA/QC due to lack of spatial coincidence with Challis_Other_Rec_Sites and/or Salmon_Recreation_Sties_24, and (e) Most Challis_Other_Rec_Sites were vaguely (spatially) linked to Challis_Recreation_Sites points slated for site location QA/QC. Coordination with BWeihausen on QA/QC matters were initiated on February 2017. Coordination was ongoing at the time of this documentation (08/24/2017). More specifically, BWeihausen furnished a response in July, but EZiolkowski responded with additional questions. Reconcile Rec_Sites_master_USFO with id_rec_sites: 41/96 records coincident with id_rec_sites. Single record with questionable site location (Lorenzo) slated for site location QA/QC. 55/96 unique records cross-walked into the compilation dataset. New Lorenzo site location verification courtesy Jarom Gilbert, 02/24/2017. Reconcile Pocatello_BLM_ID_recsites with id_rec_sites: 10 records coincident with id_rec_sites. Remaining 4 were name matched with id_rec_sites. Dataset observed to be minimally attributed. Deferred completely to id_rec_sites for compilation dataset content. RecSites_TF_shp vs. id_rec_sites: 50/76 records coincident with id_rec_sites. 20/76 records name intersected with id_rec_sites. 6 unique records were cross-walked into the compilation dataset; 5/6 were slated for site location QA/QC. QA/QC callouts were issued to Shoshone, Burley, and Jarbigde FOs 02/23/2017. Sean Boggs provided updated feature geometry for Burley FO on 02/27/2017 and follow-up attribution and comments on 04/11/2017. Kurt Kirkpatrick replied regarding disposition of Shoshone FO's FET_NAME = 'Doc Nehars Interpretive Site' (i.e., administration transferred to The Nature Conservancy).

7:45 A.M. - 4:15 P.M., Mountain Time, Monday - Friday processor Coordinated with SDA and RECS State Lead on business needs and dataset development options. According to State Lead (RFehlau), RMIS is BLM's internal recreation database and RMIS serves as a repository strictly for BLM sites. The db is not spatial, but efforts are under way to implement a spatial component. RFehlau said that DBaker is the current RMIS Program Manager at the NOC. DBaker is involved in a coordinated effort at the NOC to draft the final version of the RECS national data standard. According to RFehlau, RMIS and FAMS do not communicate. Also, efforts are under way to enable a spatial aspect to FAMS. RFehlau stated that recreational assets will appear in either FAMS, RMIS, or both. Following this conversation, CMavencamp was eager to speak with DBaker to obtain more information about the NOC's in-progress national data standard. 2017-03-29T00:00:00 Sprint GIS Analyst BLM Idaho State Office Sprint GIS Analyst 208-373-4000

7:45 A.M. - 4:15 P.M., Mountain Time, Monday - Friday processor Coordinated with CMavencamp on prospects for anticipating and implementing NOC's in-progress data standard. CMavencamp spoke at some length with David Baker (RMIS Program Manager at the NOC) about how best to align ISO's recs_pt dataset with the NOC's in-progress national data standard. The intent of the conversation was to gain insight into the in-progress standard to head off complications in the eventual transition process. EZiolkowski's impression is that DBaker suggested to CMavencamp that the final version of the standard may include a substantial relationship to RMIS, such that each recs_pt record would be attributed to a RMIS site primary key value. As such, EZiolkowski contacted the RMIS Business Manager (Larry Ridenhour) requesting an Idaho-specific RMIS output for use in reconciling the current compilation dataset with RMIS. This would be accomplished by cross-referencing RMIS site primary key and site name values (Note: id_rec_sites and BoiseDistrict_shp already had Site_PK values linking them to RMIS) between the compilation end product (hereafter "recs_pt") and the LRidenhour RMIS output. It was later found that much work remains in reconciling RMIS to recs_pt (and vice versa). 2017-04-03T00:00:00 Sprint GIS Analyst BLM Idaho State Office Sprint GIS Analyst 208-373-4000

7:45 A.M. - 4:15 P.M., Mountain Time, Monday - Friday processor Coordinated with CMavencamp and RFehlau on consolidating fields into final format for SDE implementation. CMavencamp made recommendations as to which fields to maintain and which field to omit from the IDE1 dataset. These fields were subsequently characterized into several unique categories including but not limited to RECS booklet fields, RIDB fields, and internet/publication fields. CMavencamp's vision was for IDE1 to display only the subset of core fields required to satisfy business needs (i.e., the national standard fields as well as a number of other supporting fields), while the remaining fields would be maintained in one or more related tables. The original plan was to use a unique identifier to create the table join, and, early in the process, it was believed that RMIS site primary key could serve that purpose. Over the course of later work intended to reconcile the LRidenhour RMIS output to recs_pt, it was determined that both datasets were a far cry from easily reconcilable. Thus, when business needs are clearly found to require a perfect one-to-one relationship between RMIS and recs_pt, EZiolkowski or other resources can be reallocated to evaluate which records need to be deactivated (i.e., LRidenhour stated that records are very rarely deleted from RMIS, but rather shifted to a historic category) vs. created anew in RMIS. Near the time of this documentation, EZiolkowski introduced a handmade unique identifier to serve as a replacement for the currently defunct Site_PK. 2017-07-06T00:00:00 Sprint GIS Analyst BLM Idaho State Office Sprint GIS Analyst 208-373-4000

7:45 A.M. - 4:15 P.M., Mountain Time, Monday - Friday processor Implemented Brian Weihausen's site location QA/QC. BWeihausen provided 28 rec site locations and 7 IDFG Access sites in his reply to my QA/QC data request. BWeihausen's data came with a unique set of fields describing a variety of business related amenities, some of which were already in recs_pt while others were not. As such, EZiolkowski considered BWeihausen's new data as the authoritative source and made preparations to preserve as much of it as reasonable using a cross-walk workflow. Thus, several of BWeihausen's fields were added (e.g., Garbage, Fire Rings, Fee Site) to recs_pt, while other more ancillary fields (e.g., RV_LENGTH, PULL_THROUGH) were not. Ultimately, there was a bit confusion regarding the final (collated) product. Namely, EZiolkowski wasn't sure whether certain points from the original QA/QC call out were purposefully omitted in BWeihausen's response. EZiolkowski assumed in the affirmative, but nevertheless reached out to BWeihausen for clarification on 08/08/2017. EZiolkowski also asked for attribution for Mng_Agcy, FET_TYPE, and FET_SUBTYEP. These request were outstanding at the time of this documentation (08/28/2017). 2017-08-09T00:00:00 Sprint GIS Analyst BLM Idaho State Office Sprint GIS Analyst 208-373-4000

7:45 A.M. - 4:15 P.M., Mountain Time, Monday - Friday processor Reconciled final compilation dataset (recs_pt) to LRidenhour RMIS output. There were 371 records in LRidenhour's Idaho RMIS output, while the recs_pt dataset has about 480 records with Mng_Acgy = 'BLM', null (81 ct.), or misc. These 480 records were deemed as feasibly included in the RMIS output. Records with Mng_Agcy = 'IDFG' or 'USFS' (585 records) were not considered to be feasible candidates. (Although RMIS may contain limited shared-jurisdiction sites, the vast majority should belong to the group numbering 480.) A total of 190 recs_pt records have RMIS site primary key (Site_PK) values. 166 / 190 records of thse Site_PK values match the RMIS output. 24 don't, but virtually all of these match RMIS by name. Of the remaining recs_pt records with no RMIS Site Primary Key, 23 have name matches in RMIS. Thus, >= 267 recs_pt records (480 - 190 - 23 = 267) have no observable equivalent in RMIS and should potentially be considered for inclusion as new RMIS records. Note, we won't know the precise number of candidates until Mng_Agcy is completely populated for all records. Conversely, the Idaho RMIS output contains 182 records with no match in recs_pt either by Site_PK or Site Name. EZiolkowski issued a request to LRidenhour to provide RMIS coordinates for the entire output in hopes of gaining resources for issuing a prospective QA/QC data call that included not only site name, but also a spatial component. Coordinates were also deemed necessary to any defensible reconciliation of recs_pt to RMIS. EZiolkowski was subsequently informed that only 126/371 RMIS records had LAT/LONG, and, therefore, elected to forgo requesting the 126 coordinates until such time that the RMIS/recs_pt reconciliation is established as an obligatory business need by the new national data standard. Otherwise, the LRidenhour output includes a Field Office field; thus, site name-based QA/QC verification is already possible with the current incarnation of RMIS data. Hence, if the sites do not exist according to the field, they can be recommended for deactivation in RMIS. Conversely, if the sites do exist, they will need to be added to the spatial dataset. Regardless, according the NOC Data Standards Implementation Manager, JVarner, the working version of the national standard still remains in an interim/transitional phase; therefore, it was deemed prudent by him to forgo allocating further resources to reconciling RMIS and recs_pt until such time that the final draft of the national data standard has been established. It is the EZiolkowski's assessment that the sentiments of JVarner were corroborated by the NOC's RMIS Program Manager, DBaker, who had previously been approached by CMavencamp and the Sprint team regarding access to the in-progress national standard (i.e., hold off). 2017-08-17T00:00:00 Sprint GIS Analyst BLM Idaho State Office Sprint GIS Analyst 208-373-4000

7:45 A.M. - 4:15 P.M., Mountain Time, Monday - Friday processor Coordinated with ISO and NOC cooperators to resolve technical matters pertinent to failed stand-up of recs_pt for August 2017 replication. EZiolkowski furnished NHardy with a dataset conforming strictly to the suite of national data standard fields. ISO staff and EZiolkowski soon became aware that the national data standard, as well as the aforesaid recs_pt dataset, were missing fields used to support an external facing web-based map service. This sparked a debate at the NOC regarding the suitability of current technical and accounting processes. Note, the point features expressed to the map service to date were the 45 NCLS sites represented in JCouright's NOC replication datset (IDSD1.REC_NOC_NLCSRecreationSitesWOProject_PUB_24K_POINT - referred to previously in this documentation as nlcs_rec_sites). Eventually, EZiolkowski solicited his NOC counterparts for help in identifying the requisite fields. PGamberg furnished 8 fields attributable to the points feature class. Shortly thereafter, TChatfield issued a statement to all GIS Managers and State Data Administrators that the national standards team was going to implement a full accounting of this previously unknown infrastructure in the interim data standard, and attempt to do so in time for the September replication deadline (September 8, 2017). This set off a series of heated discussions at the NOC regarding unknown and undocumented mechanisms that circumvented national data standard protocols (i.e., non-standard fields required to support an NLCS web app). 2017-09-08T00:00:00 Sprint GIS Analyst BLM Idaho State Office Sprint GIS Analyst 208-373-4000

7:45 A.M. - 4:15 P.M., Mountain Time, Monday - Friday processor EZiolkowski spoke to a WO official (ICohen) in an effort to resolve confusion about the interplay of multiple systems of record AND an unclear understanding of how the geospatial dataset is used to inform the blm.gov/visit web map. According to ICohen, recreation site locations on blm.gov/visit are taken from both RIDB AND! the geospatial dataset. On the web map, sites with actual symbology are derived from the geospatial dataset, while the nondescript green and yellow placemarkers are based on coordinates from RIDB. The current WO / NOC protocol prescribes that only RECS sites attributable to NLCS areas are to be attributed with WEB_DISPLAY = 'Yes' (i.e., eligible for external display on the web map). Conversely, all other recreation points displayed on the web map (i.e., the vast majority of Idaho sites) stem from RIDB. Note that changing WEB_DISPALY to 'Yes' for non-NLCS sites will not make those sites appear on the web map. This is ensured by a filter authorized by the WO Recreation National Lead (DByrd) and implemented at the NOC. Note that changing WEB_DISPLAY to 'No' will remove NLCS sites from the web map. By way of additional background, ICohen reported that the original intent of the WEB_DISPLAY field was "not" to isolate NLCS REC sites for display (i.e., WEB_DISPALY was supposed to allow users to turn all REC sites on or off for external display). Nevertheless, it appears that NLCS-centrism became the de facto outcome during early discussions / implementations. Approval was said to have been conveyed by way of official orders and / or signatures. Additionally, it was reported that as part of these objectives, fields supporting the blm.gov/visit web map (e.g., PHOTO_THUMB, DESCRIPTION, WEB_LINK, etc.) were populated by an individual at the NOC. Subsequently, JNighbert (Oregon State Office) merged all of the NLCS site data and passed it back to the states. This appears to be the reason why Idaho's original RECS replication dataset consisted only of 45 NLCS-centric sites. The main question now is why non-NLCS sites currently displayed on blm.gov/visit are represented by data originating from a non-spatial database (RIDB), when the same sites should be available in the actual spatial system of record? Additionally, why has no effort been undertaken to achieve parity between the multiple systems of record so that related systems may communicate (e.g., same site = same UniqueID)? Why is there conflation of purpose across the various platforms (e.g., RIDB used for spatial purposes, while the geospatial dataset is being called upon to record data already existing in other systems)? 2018-07-27T00:00:00 Sprint GIS Analyst BLM Idaho State Office Sprint GIS Analyst 208-373-4000

7:45 A.M. - 4:15 P.M., Mountain Time, Monday - Friday processor BHolmes informed EZiolkowski that the RECS metadata was confusing. Apparently the metadata created after the initial compilation (Interim RECS Standard v1.1) was not copied over during the implementation of Interim Standard v1.2 (November 2017). Hence, the SDE metadata BHolmes was referring to represented the NOC template, which is inherently national in scope. In response to BHolmes' request, the original Interim Standard v1.1 metadata was resurrected. Note that the final standard appears to be nearing completion. This new standard will be coined v1.0, which is confusing because we already had v1.1 and v1.2. Note that the NOC chose the v1.0 moniker to represent the first version of the "final" standard. In revisiting the Interim Standard v1.1 metadata, I feel the level of detail is excessive. I am going to load it in SDE for archival purposes, but intend to drastically simplify the full timeline in the final standard metadata. 2019-03-29T00:00:00 Sprint GIS Analyst BLM Idaho State Office Sprint GIS Analyst 208-373-4000

7:45 A.M. - 4:15 P.M., Mountain Time, Monday - Friday processor BHolmes provided more feedback on the standard and the metadata, so I want to quickly document here. First, the original NOC schema incorrectly included AREA subtypes and domains in the recs_pt feature class. This configuration was unwittingly incorporated into the Idaho SDE dataset; hence, a user is currently allowed to select AREA subtypes (e.g., PARKING AREA, OHV DESIGNATED AREA, etc.) for recs_pt features. Note that AREA subtypes and domains should ONLY be invoked in the recs_poly feature class (i.e., AREA = polygon). We will ensure that subsequent data standard versions do not allow for this error. Second, this dataset contains the suite of national standard fields, but also a large number of fields assembled during the initial compilation and migration into the interim data standard (circa 2016). At the time it was uncertain which fields would eventually be useful for a final data standard cross-walk; hence, all fields were maintained on a temporary basis. Now it seems that the new standard, which was recently completed but still needed final sign-off, may have stalled indefinitely. Regarding the attribution of fields during creation of new records, users should focus on the national standard fields, which include only those fields with names appearing in capital letters (i.e., all fields in the Entity Attributes section up-to-and-including GlobalID). All other fields are vestiges from multiple other sources and should be regarded as provisional and temporary. Attribute those fields if you have the info and if the process is not onerous; otherwise, disregard until such time that we determine their usefulness and relevance and get them cleaned up or removed during a (potential) future cross-walk effort. 2019-09-19T00:00:00 Sprint GIS Analyst BLM Idaho State Office Sprint GIS Analyst 208-373-4000
