Source Currentness Reference. SCAG needs to be informed if the currentness reference is not ground condition. The currentness reference is the basis on which the time period content is determined. The date of the data set can be based on a number of things such as publication date, release date, or delivery date. An example would be the 2000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx centerline file. The date usually associated with this file is the Exhibit F - Spatial Data/Metadata Requirements year indicated on the “Xxxxxx Guide” that the digital data was used to create. It is much more likely that the data actually represents some time in 1999, since the books came out in time for Christmas 1999. The currentness reference in this case could be Xxxxxx Guide title date.
