| Attribute Accuracy | Data was collected by field crews. Attribute accuracy varies widely. Paper records sometimes list source of information. | |||
| Logical Consistency | Not applicable | |||
| Completeness | Properties from Ramsey County, Duluth, and downtown Minneapolis still need to be added to the database. Properties from these locations will be added as time allows. Linear properties (historic trails) and large properties (historic districts) have not been digitized. | |||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | Data was collected in the field and plotted on plat maps or city maps. Almost all properties are accurate to the city block. Many properties are accurate to within 30 meters. Database contains as assessment as to the accuracy of the property's location. | |||
| Vertical Positional Accuracy | Not applicable | |||
| Lineage | Paper records are from SHPO Statewide Survey, Heritage Preservation Commission Surveys, and historic preservation surveys conducted by federal and state agencies. Database is maintained at irregular intervals. Property records are edited on an ongoing basis. New properties are added to the database on at least a yearly basis. | |||

| Entity and Attribute Overview | The SHPO Architecture-History database has a simple variable-attribute structure. Each record corresponds to an individual property. For properties located in multiple sections, the property record is repeated for each section; the UTM is placed in the first record and is the property's centroid. The record number for multiple entries are identified in the PROPNAME with a (1), (2) etc. Database contains location information, architectural and historic research data, and historic preservation management information. COUNTY - name of the county CITYTWP - name of the minor civil subdivision INVENTNUM- inventory number - unique identifier PIN - property identification number when available PROPNAME - historic name of the property ADDRESS - address of the property PROPCAT - property's thematic category (i.e. domestic, commerce etc.) PROPTYPE - inferred function of the property (i.e. residence, farmstead, hotel etc.) STYLE - architectural style ARCHITECT - name of the architect if known DATEBUILT - date the property was built, includes major rehabilitations HISTCONTXT - historic context from SHPO planning documents NRHP - list on the National Register of Historic Places SEF - SHPO staff has informally determined the property is eligible for the National Register CEF- is the property 'considered eligible' for the National Register DOE - has the property been formally 'determined eligible' for the National Register TOWNSHIP - township number RANGE - range number EASTWEST - east or west ranges SECTION - section number QUARTERS - quarter-quarter-quarter section the property is located in USGS - USGS map where the property is located RCNUMBER- Review and Compliance number from a SHPO review TRACKING - additional reviews of the property REPORTNUM - SHPO report number DATESURVEY - month, date and year the property was first inventoried UTMZONE - UTM zone EASTING - UTM easting coordinate using NAD27 NORTHING - UTM northing coordinate using NAD27 QTRQTRQTR - 10 acre cell QTRQTR - 40 acre cell QTR - 160 acre cell LOCCONF - confidence of locating property on USGS map ACRES - number of acres associated with the property DATUM - NAD27 PHOTOS - MHS photo number if applicable XEASTING - UTM for Zone 15 extended as calculated by LMIC XNORTHING - UTM for ZONE 15 extended as calculated by LMIC |
