Purpose


~/DataImages/food_facilities.jpg

Provides one view of all the food facilities that are within the inspection area.

RESTAURANT_INSPECTIONS_POINT provides these same locations but is a one to many database as a single food location may have multiple records in that inspections database.

In the FOOD_FACILITIES_POINT layer each facility appears only one time for greater ease of use.

In addition, the inspection attributes that are part of the RESTAURANT_INSPECTIONS_POINT layer are not included in the FOOD_FACILITIES_POINT layer.

Abstract


Unique selection, by food facility name, from the King County Dept of Health Restaurant Inspection database (RESTAURANT_INSPECTIONS_POINT).

Includes information whether facility is part of food chain.

This featureclass is part of the COMMON_INTEREST_POINT layer as a unique domain within that database..

Change history

7/7/2014

Updated with current information from RESTAURANT_INSPECTIONS_POINT. Per standard script - AddNewCommonInterestFeatures.py

8/17/2012

Data records where downloaded from http://info.kingcounty.gov/health/ehs/foodsafety/inspections/search.aspx Individual alpha record sets were appended and reformatted for delimiter conformance. Python scripts were used to assemble data tables, join information about restaurant chain, and create a spatial featureclass from tabular coordinate data. Data is loaded directly from the DPH database except in that the DESCRIPTION field which contains both Seating Capacity and Risk information is broken (parsed) into two separate fields: SEAT_CAP and RISK. Frequency analysis is used to create unique list of Program Identifier (facility name) with associated attributes that is passed to the Common Interest project area for uploading to tables to create new records in COMMON_INTEREST_POINT and a new FOOD_FACILITY featureclass. This process is performed three times a year - April, August and December - unless documented otherwise with a unique process step.

Update 3

A frequency table is created from the RESTAURANT_INSPECTIONS_POINT database. This unique list is then joined with restaurant chain information and the composite table is then exported to a csv file in a schema compatible with COMMON_INTEREST_POINT. This list is loaded to COMMON_INTEREST_POINT and the associated COMMON_INTEREST_FF (business table attributes). Standard COMMON INTEREST routines are run to create the child featureclass, FOOD_FACILITIES_POINT.
