- 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. The data set is created directly from a topologically correct ArcInfo coverage.
- 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 originally extracted from the ArcWorld Supplement database and then generalized (tolerance unknown). The positional accuracy is unknown.
