Digital Terrain Model of Rhode Island; 5KDTM_terrain, Rhode Island Geographic Information System (RIGIS) Data Distribution System, URL: http://www.edc.uri.edu/rigis, University of Rhode Island, Kingston, Rhode Island (last date accessed: 13 August 2008). Online_Linkage: http://www.edc.uri.edu/rigis Description: Abstract: This feature class consists of a Rhode Island state boundary that was dissolved to exclusively feature the Rhode Island coastline and inland political boundary. All polygons not designated as "land" within the source dataset were deleted from this product before the internal polygons were dissolved based on a single code. Purpose: The purpose of this feature class is to solely act as a "soft clip" for the 5KDTM_terrain dataset distributed by RIGIS. Users of the 5KDTM_terrain data may decide that they would prefer to use a different soft clip for the terrain.

License terms include (1) restrictions on secondary distribution of these data, and (2) graphic displays and printed tabular listings derived from RIGIS data may be used in publications and presentations, provided that credit is given to RIGIS as the source of the information or that notice of copyright [e.g. (c) 2001 RIGIS] be shown. Please review the RIGIS license agreement at for more information before accessing these data. Use_Constraints: Due to the scale, accuracy of the source data information contained should be used with caution. These data may be used to support the generation of surface models and contours, or used to support the orthorectification of aerial photography. Please note that these data were intended solely for the orthorectify aerial photographs collected at a map scale of 1:5000, and these data are not considered adequate by RIGIS for purposes other than general planning. These data are estimated to be suitable for 3-meter accuracy for determination of general elevations. Users are encouraged to evaluate these data for themselves and are encouraged to use the source data available from RIGIS as they may prefer to use a different soft clip, if any, for the 5KDTM_terrain dataset.

Process_Step: Process_Description: All polygons where LAND did not equal "Y" were deleted. A new attribute, CODE, was added to the dataset. All polygons were calculated to have CODE = 1. Finally, the dataset was dissolved using the CODE field. The result of this analysis consists of the Rhode Island coastline, teamed with its internal political boundary. The purpose of the analysis was to remove elevation points that were either 1) salt water, or 2) outside the RI political boundary.
