  15. Title: Global GIS : world administrative units, 2002

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer is a polygon coverage representing First-Order Administrative Areas worldwide (as they existed in 2002) and was originally produced by ESRI for the Global GIS database. Attribute data includes information on administrative region names, type, size (population) and country of location. The USGS Global GIS database contains a wealth of USGS and other public domain data, including global coverages of elevation, landcover, seismicity, and resources of minerals and energy at a nominal scale of 1:1 million. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and The American Geological Institute (AGI) announced a cooperative agreement that will focus on making the USGS Global Geographic Information System (GIS) database readily available to educators and the general public in the form of a DVD based world atlas.

  16. Title: Global GIS : Mineral Resource Data System (MRDS) data in ArcView Shape File Format, for Spacial Data Delivery Project, 1999

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer is a point coverage representing metallic and non-metallic mineral resources worldwide. This data was derived from the Mineral Resource Data System (MRDS) data in ArcView Shape File Format, for Spatial Data Delivery Project, 1999 (Edition: Version 1.1) and was published as part of the USGS Global GIS : global coverage database (2003). MRDS contains variable-length records of metallic and nonmetallic mineral resources of the world. A record contains descriptive information about mineral deposits and mineral commodities. The types of information in the data base include deposit name, location, commodity, deposit description, geologic characteristics, production, reserves, potential resources, and references. The Mineral Resource Data System master database is not accessible via the WWW. The large number of multi-valued fields make it difficult to import all the fields into a data format that can be utilized by the ArcView Internet Map Server Software. This dataset contains all MRDS locations, but only 44 of the possible 226 fields. A data structure was created in Access 97. Data was imported into the file structure and then processed into Arc View, where it was transformed into shape files that are used by the IMS software to serve the MRDS data and permit access via the www. The USGS Global GIS database contains a wealth of USGS and other public domain data, including global coverages of elevation, landcover, seismicity, and resources of minerals and energy at a nominal scale of 1:1 million. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and The American Geological Institute (AGI) announced a cooperative agreement that will focus on making the USGS Global Geographic Information System (GIS) database readily available to educators and the general public in the form of a DVD based world atlas.

This version of the datalayer was published as part of the USGS Global GIS : global coverage database (2003). Does not cover Antarctica. The USGS Global GIS database contains a wealth of USGS and other public domain data, including global coverages of elevation, landcover, seismicity, and resources of minerals and energy at a nominal scale of 1:1 million.

  18. Title: Global GIS : Global 5-degree latitude/longitude grid lines (including geographically significant lines)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This dataset is a polyline coverage representing a 5-degree by 5-degree global latitude and longitude grid, including geographically significant lines such as the Equator, the Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, the Arctic and Antarctic circles, and the International Date Line. Each polyline has an associated latitude or longitude attribute value so that grid lines can be selected to display at any 5-degree value. An earlier version of this dataset appears in ESRI's ArcWorld Supplement (1996). This version of the dataset was published as part of the USGS Global GIS : global coverage database (2003). The USGS Global GIS database contains a wealth of USGS and other public domain data, including global coverages of elevation, landcover, seismicity, and resources of minerals and energy at a nominal scale of 1:1 million.
