Abstract:
This dataset represents the institutions with the most employees in Loudoun County as of September 15, 2011.

Purpose:
These data were compiled by the Loudoun County Office of Economic Development for mapping purposes and to give county staff a locational understanding of where key businesses and institutions are located and where there is potential for future business and development opportunities.

Supplemental information:
Data are stored in the corporate ArcSDE Geodatabase as a point feature class. The coordinate system is Virginia State Plane (North), Zone 4501, datum NAD83 HARN (vertical datum, if applicable, NAVD88), US Survey foot units.

Data Quality Information:


Attribute accuracy:
Attribute accuracy report:
Retention of attribute accuracy throughout the personal geodatabase or shapefile to ArcSDE geodatabase feature class coversion process was ensured by a manual or automatic QA/QC programmatic check. To meet satisfactory QA/QC requirements the input coverage and output feature class must have, on a record by record basis, identical attribution when comparing all concatenated fields to all the user-defined attribution.

Quantitative attribute accuracy assessment:

Logical consistency report:
Topologically clean

Completeness report:
Key employer identification data were provided to the Office of Mapping and Geographic Information by the Office of Economic Development.  The key criteria was the employer location being in Loudoun County and the number of employees.  Features may have been eliminated or generalized due to scale and intended use. To assist Loudoun County, Virginia in the maintenance of the data, please provide any information concerning discovered errors, omissions, or other discrepancies found in the data.

Positional accuracy:
Horizontal positional accuracy:
Horizontal positional accuracy report:
Retention of coordinate accuracy throughout the personal geodatabase or shapefile to ArcSDE geodatabase feature class conversion process was ensured by a manual or automatic QA/QC programmatic check. To meet satisfactory QA/QC requirements the input coverage and output feature class must have the same record total, and on a record by record basis, area, perimeter, and length differential of less than +/- 0.5%.
