Abstract
World Map Background represents grid cells of 30 by 30 degrees that cover the world.
Purpose
World Map Background provides for displaying a shaded background on which other data can be displayed. For example, use the World Map Background to quickly display a blue ocean theme behind other land-based themes such as World Countries.

Data Quality Information
Logical Consistency Report
No duplicate features are present. The shapefile is converted to SDC (Smart Data Compression) format in ArcSDE. This verifies and validates the geometry.
Completeness Report
After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
The geospatial part of this data set was mathematically generated using the ARC/INFO GRID extension. In this manner, the locations were computed. The positional accuracy is limited only by the resolution of the data set, which is less than a meter.
