Data set was DESCRIBED and coverage files listed to determine the feature types present. In this data set, the following feature types were found and checked: arcs and nodes. The presence of spatial indices was also checked.
For AAT files, each ITEM was checked for the following:
- DOMAIN of allowable values - adherence of values to the DOMAIN - definition of ITEMS - requirement of all UNIQUE values for an item - logic of ITEMS REDEFINED over other ITEMS - length of ITEM name as regards conversion to shape fileBUILD statuses of data sets were checked, as were LABELERRORS and NODEERRORS (where appropriate), and PROJECTION definition.
The presence of a BND file was verified.
The presence and location of TICS were checked.
Chain-node topology present. There are several appropriate dangling arcs. Boundary values are appropriate for map projection and map units. "Fuzzy" tolerance is suitable for nominal scale. Several unneeded .AAT items were dropped, tics were replaced, and COVER-ID values were recalculated to be unique. See process steps for March, 1998. There are no attribute values outside the appropriate domains.
TICS - The data set had eight tics along the northern border of the state. For better tic distribution, these were replaced with ten tics from *path_name_suppressed*/quad100, evenly distributed around the state. However, users needing registration tics for use with these data (or a subset of these data) should expect to create a task-specific tic set, usually based on section corners.
REMOVAL OF ITEMS - The following empty .AAT items were dropped: STATE2C.OLD#, STATE2C.OLD-ID, ORIG-ID, SYMBOL, SYMB.
UNIQUE COVER-ID VALUES - COVER-ID values in the .AAT were calculated to equal (COVER# - 1) in order to make them unique.
For detailed review see *path_name_suppressed*/illimap_v1_0_rev.txt.
Attribute items are in typical ARC/INFO feature class format.
ARC ATTRIBUTES:
Arc attributes indicate line type. Attribute items other than
the Arc/Info defaults are:
STATELINE - Indicates if arc is a part of the state boundary
1 - arc is part of the state boundary
0 - arc is not part of the state boundary
COUNTLINE - Indicates if arc is a part of a county boundary
1 - arc is part of a county boundary
0 - arc is not part of a county boundary
SECLINE - Indicates if arc is a part of a section line
1 - arc is part of a section line
0 - arc is not part of a section line
INDLINE - Indicates if arc is a part of an Indian Treaty boundary
1 - arc is part of a an Indian Treaty boundary
0 - arc is not part of an Indian Treaty boundary
TOWNLINE - Indicates if arc is a part of a township or range line
1 - arc is part of a township or range line
0 - arc is not part of a township or range line
