- Data Quality Information
- Logical Consistency Report
- The dataset is converted to file geodatabase (FGDB) format using tools in ArcGIS. The geometry is checked, and if needed repaired. The data set was created directly from a topologically correct ArcInfo® coverage.
- Completeness Report
- After processing, the dataset 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 originally extracted from the ArcWorld Supplement database and then generalized (tolerance unknown). The positional accuracy is unknown.
