  Title: Montana Food Establishment Function locations, 2013
  Publisher: Montana State Library
Abstract:
  This layer contains records for establishments in Montana whose function(s) (Such as "beef producer", "grocery store", "restaurant") in the food production and delivery process has been established. Where an establishement has multiple functions, there are multiple records for it in the layer. The data were created by cross-referencing the establishments in the Establishment_Locations layer with all of their functions in the Functions table.
  The coordinate locations of the records come from a variety of sources. The primary method for geo-locating the records was automatic geocoding of their addresses. Most of the establishments that have been identified as being engaged in local commerce have had their locations examined by hand and the locations have been adjusted to try to place them on the correct building identifiable on aerial photos. The layer has attribute fields that specify how the locations were established.
  Some of the establishments have a latitude and longitude coordinate of -1.0,1.0. These are establishments whose locations could not be determined.
  The layer is stored in the Web Mercator coordinate system to improve peformance with ArcGIS Online. Desktop GIS software typically cannot portray data in this coordinate system at the correct map scale. The data should be projected to a coordinate system appropriate for use in Montana before being used with desktop GIS software.
Purpose:
  These data were produced to support a project to map all of the establishments in Montana that engage in local commerce, that sell or process locally-produced food, or that are food producers that sell their food to local processors, retail outlets, or customers.
  There is one record for each function or product provided by each establishment, so one establishment may appear several times in the layer, once for each function or product that it provides. The layer is produced by linking the Functions table to the Establishment_Locations feature class table. To re-create the Function_Locations layer, the geodatabase tables must be moved to a database with full support for SQL queries and the following query must be run. This will create an table whose latitude and longitude fields may be used to create an event layer that may be exported as a GIS layer.
  SELECT Establishment_Locations.Establishment, Establishment_Locations.Address,
  Establishment_Locations.City, Establishment_Locations.ZIP,
  Functions.Code AS Function_Code, Function_Codes.Type_ AS Function_Name,
  Food_Status_Codes.Explanation AS Status, Functions.ID AS Function_ID,
  Establishment_Locations.ID_Num AS Establishment_ID,
  Establishment_Locations.County,
  Establishment_Locations.Latitude, Establishment_Locations.Longitude
  FROM Functions
  INNER JOIN Function_Codes ON
  Function_Codes.Code = Functions.Code
  INNER JOIN Establishment_Locations ON
  Functions.ID_Num = Establishment_Locations.ID_Num
  INNER JOIN Food_Status_Codes ON
  Establishment_Locations.Status = Food_Status_Code.StatusID
  WHERE (NOT (Establishment_Locations.Latitude IS NULL))

    Attribute definition:
      Code for an establishment function. The codes are heirarchical. The first two digits refer to a general class of products or functions, the second two digits refer to a sub-category, and the last two digits are more specific. Project editors were instructed to be specific as possible and to not enter both a general class and a more specific instance of that class for the same establishment, but they did not always follow these instructions.
