Overview of attributes

The databases described in this report were compiled in ARC/INFO, a commercial Geographic Information System by Environmental Systems Research Institute.  Almost all the attributes in the various attribute tables of the coverages included in the report are set or calculated by ARC/INFO.  The exceptions being <COVER>-ID, LINETYPE, UNIT, POINTTYPE, STRIKE, and DIP.  LINETYPE, UNIT and POINTTYPE are author added aspects of the coverages added to the PAT or AAT and are used to describe the type of line(LINETYPE), area (UNIT), point or arcmarker (POINTTYPE).  LINETYPE and POINTTYPE are each defined with WIDTH 35, OUTPUT 35, and TYPE C (character).  UNIT is defined with WIDTH 5, OUTPUT 5, and TYPE C.  STRIKE and DIP are only present in HRSPOINT.PAT, because they describe bedding orientation of point objects.  Each is defined with WIDTH and OUTPUT of 3,and TYPE I (integer).
