The data is supplied in ARC/INFO export format.
This GIS database includes related look-up tables, which store detailed attribute information. Arc/Info relates for each coverage are saved in a file named <covername>.rel. Use the RELATE command with the restore argument at the arc prompt to make the relates active. Alternatively, in Arctools, use the Relate environment: open dialog in the Manage - Relates flyout menu under the Arctools menu to make the relates active.
omgeo100 coverage: Contains all contact lines and labelpoints for each geologic polygon. In the omgeo100.pat INFO file the UNIT item indicates the numeric code used to identify the rock unit, which is described in the omgeo100.ru look-up table. The SOURCE item provides a numeric code used to identify the data source for the rock unit. Complete references for the sources listed are listed in the omgeo100.ref file. The LABEL item indicates the rock unit label (abbreviation) used to label unit on map. The DESC item defines formal or informal unit name. The SYMBOL item refers to the shade symbol in shadeset wpgcmykg.shd used to fill the geology polygons with color.
In the coverage's omgeo100.aat INFO file the LINECODE item provides a numeric code used to identify type of linear feature. Linecodes < 100 are used for contacts and boundaries which are described in the omgeo100.con file. The NAME item lists the name given to structural feature. The SOURCE item lists the numeric code used to identify the data source for the linear feature. Complete references for the sources are listed in the omgeo100.ref file.
Related look-up table files are omgeo100.con, omgeo100.ru, and omgeo100.ref. In the omgeo100.con INFO file, the LINECODE item indicates the numeric code (a value < 100) used to identify type of contact or boundary. This item relates directly to the LINECODE item in omgeo100.aat. The SYMBOL item lists the line symbol number used by Arc/Info to plot the line (Symbol numbers refer to the geol_sfo.lin lineset). The TYPE item lists the major type of line, e.g., contact, state boundaries, lines of latitude and longitude used for neatlines. The MODIFIER item lists the line type modifier, i.e., approximate, concealed, or gradational. No entry implies 'known'. The CERTAINTY item lists the degree of certainty of contact or boundary, i.e., inferred or uncertain. No entry implies 'certain'. The DESC item lists the written description or explanation of the contact or boundary. In the omgeo100.ru INFO file, the UNIT item refers to the numeric code used to identify the rock unit. The LABEL item refers to the rock unit label (abbreviation) used to label unit on map. The SYMBOL item indicates the shadeset symbol number used by Arc/Info to plot a filled/shaded polygon. (The symbol numbers used in this file refer to the wpgcmykg.shd shadeset.) The NAME item lists the prefix portion of the rock unit label that does not include subscripts. (If subscripting is not used in the original unit label, then the 'name' entry is the same as the 'label' entry.) The SS item lists the suffix portion of the rock unit label that includes subscripts. The LITH item list the major type of lithostratigraphic unit, i.e., unconsolidated sediments, sedimentary rocks, metasedimentary rocks, intrusive rocks, extrusive rocks, metamorphic rocks, water, and ice. The DESC item lists the formal or informal unit name. The MINAGE item indicates the minimum stratigraphic age of the lithologic unit, i.e. CRET, TERT, PCY. The MAXAGE item indicates the maximum stratigraphic age of the lithologic unit. The MINDATE item indicates the minimum radiometric age (in millions of years) if determined. The MAXDATE item indicates the maximum radiometric age (in millions of years) if determined. In the omgeo100.ref INFO file, the SOURCE item lists the numeric code used to identify the data source. The SCALE item lists the scale of the source map. (This value is the denominator of the proportional fraction that identifies the scale of the map that was digitized or scanned to produce the digital map.) The AUTHORS item lists the author(s) or compiler(s) of source map entered as last name, first name or initial, and middle initial. The YEAR item lists the source (map) publication date. The REFERENCE item lists the remainder of the reference in USGS reference format.
The database structure used for this dataset follows the data model used in Lewis and Derkey (1999; USGS Open-File Report 99-438), and includes some attributes that, in this data set, do not have values, for structural consistency with the data model.
