Abstract: Digitized vector data of BLM designated Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) in Arizona. Digitized from 1:24,000 scale manuscripts prepared by Field Office Specialists or digitized on-screen and edited at 1:24:000 scale or larger by GIS specialists.

FGDC and ESRI Metadata:

Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.

Data Quality Information:


Attribute accuracy:
Attribute accuracy report:
Attribute accuracy is tested by manually comparing hard
copy plots of the digital data with source materials or by
interactively querying and verifying on the screen.

Logical consistency report:
The data has been checked to make sure that all intended
polygons are closed, that there are no unintended
undershoots, overshoots or dangles and that there is only
only label point per polygon. This does not preclude the
presence of one or more of these errors.

Completeness report:
This coverage is in draft format. Verification by the
appropriate BLM Field Office is needed.

Positional accuracy:
Horizontal positional accuracy:
Horizontal positional accuracy report:
Approximately + or - 40 feet. Test by visual comparison of
hard copy check plots against source material and/ or
verfying the location of the data on screen relative to
other data layers in the same geographic area.

Vertical positional accuracy:
Vertical positional accuracy report:
None.

Process step:
Process description:
Data were compiled on 1:24000 scale USGS paper quads and
digitized from those quads. Some of the original ArcInfo
coverages were converted to shapefiles and edited in
ArcView while others were edited in ArcEdit. Shapefiles
were converted back coverages and Individual files were
then merged into a single statewide coverage. Data was
checked on screen against other data layers in the same
geographic area.

Arc (line) Attribute Table
Entity type definition source:
None

Attribute:
*Attribute label: NCA_DEF_FEATURE
Attribute definition:
This value refers to the natural, manmade, or mapping feature that represents the NCA boundary.  This value is recorded on each arc.  This field is used when coincident lines are part of the NCA boundary.  For example, if a portion of the   NCA boundary follows a stream, the NCA_DEF_FEATURE would be stream, if following a contour line, the NCA_DEF_FEATURE would be contour, etc.  Entries for this field should be lowercase.  If the NCA_DEF_FEATURE was not used when digitizing or updating this theme this field should be blank.  (See Appendix C for the official list of defining features.)  This value should be in lowercase.

*Attribute type: Character
*Attribute width: 30
*Attribute output width: 30


Attribute:
*Attribute label: NCA_COORD_SOURCE
Attribute definition:
This value refers to the actual source of the defining feature.  It is the digital map source of the original arc that makes up the NCA boundary.   For example, if a portion of the boundary is a contour line the NCA_DEF_FEATURE would be contour and the NCA_COORD_SOURCE would be 24K Digital Elevation Model (DEM).  If other coverage's are used then the NCA_COORD_SOURCE would be the coverage name.  For example, 100K DLG or 24K DLG.
