      <abstract>Contains physical information on commercial facilities at the principal U.S. Coastal, Great Lakes and Inland Ports. The data consists of listings of port area's waterfront facilities, including information on berthing, cranes, transit sheds, grain elevators, marine repair plants, fleeting areas, and docking and storage facilities. Collection of data is performed on a rotational basis to ensure on-site accuracy at each facility.</abstract>
      <purpose>The Navigation Data Center had several objectives in developing the U.S. Waterway Data. These objectives support the concept of a National Spatial Data Provide public access to national waterway data. Foster interagency and intra-agency cooperation through data sharing. Provide a mechanism to integrate waterway data (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Port/Facility and U.S. Coast Guard Accident Data, for example) Provide a basis for intermodal analysis. Assist standardization of waterway entity definitions (Ports/Facilities, Locks, etc.). Provide public access to the National Waterway Network, which can be used as a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data (waterway and modal network/facility databases, for example). Provide reliable data to support future waterway and intermodal applications.</purpose>

    <datacred>The National Waterway Network was created on behalf of the Office of the Asistant Secretary for Research and Technology's Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Bureau of Census, and the U.S. Coast Guard by Vanderbilt University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Additional agencies with input into network development include Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, Maritime Administration, Military Traffic Management Command, Tennessee Valley Authority, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the Federal Railroad Administration.</datacred>

    <attracc>
      <attraccr>Attribute accuracy is tested by manual comparison of the source with hard copy printouts and/or symbolized display of digital line graphs on an interactive computer graphic system; selected attributes that cannot be visually verified on plots or on screen, are interactively queried and verified on screen.</attraccr>
    </attracc>
    <logic>OST-R/BTS quality checks were to cross reference the place dataset with the state dataset, to determine that the spatial data and attribute data were accurate</logic>
    <posacc>
      <horizpa>
        <horizpar>The accuracy of each point element is correlated to the data source used to derive that element. For example, links and nodes derived from 1:100,000 scale Digital Line Graphs are more accurate than links and nodes derived from 1:500,000 scale NOAA Navigational Charts. Elements with an "M" in the source field (indicating an unknown or missing source) are the least accurate.</horizpar>
