To show the locations of businesses on Kosrae.
This dataset shows the locations of businesses on Kosrae. The data layer was created by Island Research & Education Initiative (iREi) (2019) from KML files created by Joyminda Palokoa George (2019) specifically for this Digital Atlas.

This dataset needs to be updated to ensure that the locations are correct (many features do not overlay the 2016 WorldView-3 satellite imagery) and that the features still exist. In addition it would be useful to add more attribute information such as feature name.

The completeness of the data is unknown but should be consistent with the level of information normally shown on U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000-scale topographic maps.
Attribute accuracy is tested by manual comparison of the source with hard copy plots and/or symbolized display of the digital line graph on an interactive computer graphic system. Through inspection and queries, attempts were made to ensure completeness and consistency of attribute values.
Features seem to be about 5-30 meters off compared to the 2016 WorldView-3 satellite imagery.
