DATA PROCESSING STEPS

The maps on this CD were digitally compiled and abstracted from: International Geological Map of Europe and the Mediterranean Region/

Carte Geologique de l'Europe et des regions riveraines de la Mediterranee, 1971 H. -R. von Gaertner UNESCO, Commission for Geological Map of the World, (UNESCO/CGMW) Scale 1:5,000,000 2 sheets http://www.unesco.org/general/eng/index.html

The following process steps were taken:

1.	UNESCO/CGMW source map sheets were scanned, registered and rectified using ESRI Arcworld 1:3M shorelines as reference.
2.	Using scanned map images as a backdrop, geologic contacts and faults were digitized, and geologic age polygon labels were attributed in Arc/INFO arcedit using an AML menu interface.
3.	The map sheets were produced using Arcmap. The Adobe Portable Document

Format was created using the Acrobat Distiller print option in Arcmap.

The ArcExplorer and Arcview projects were created with shapefiles produced from the Arc/INFO coverages. Avenue scripts were written to customize the Arcview project for ease of use and maximum performance with large data sets.
