Official item use terms: "These data are shared under the RIGIS license agreement, which can be viewed below: This dataset is provided 'as is.’ The producer(s) of this dataset, contributors to this dataset, the Rhode Island Geographic Information System (RIGIS) consortium, the State of Rhode Island, and the University of Rhode Island do not make any warranties of any kind for this dataset, and are not liable for any loss or damage however and whenever caused by any use of this dataset. Please acknowledge both RIGIS and the primary producer(s) of this dataset in any derived products. Versions of the RIGIS logo suitable for both printed and web-based products are available at https://info.rigis.org/logos/ Additional access and use constraints imposed by the data originator: Please consider the source, spatial accuracy, attribute accuracy, currentness, and scale of these data before incorporating them into your project. These data were derived from automated and manual photointerpretation processes and should be used for preliminary planning purposes only. The wetland areas contained in this dataset do not include all wetlands previously identified in other RIGIS land use and land cover datasets or in other separate GIS wetlands datasets and interpretation of wetland areas should lean toward the side of caution. Wetland areas previously classified as forested wetlands are shown as forested areas in this dataset. Statistical comparisons with RIGIS land use and land cover data prior to 2003 should be treated with caution since significant differences in the methodologies used to delineate features were employed. If data are used for change detection using the 2003/2004 edition be aware that marinas were coded from other transportation and developed recreation to commercial in the 2011 data to more accurately fit the classification system". State/local/university disclaimers, attribution requests, or vague public availability are not treated as an affirmative commercial-reuse/redistribution grant.License text
