    Description: 
      Abstract:
        This dataset is a collection of commodities (coal gas, oil
        shale, and quaternary peat) located in The Peoples Republic
        of China. Included in this dataset is the type of the
        commodities.
      Purpose:
        The purpose of this dataset is to give geologists and other 
        scientists a spatial database of commodities in China.  This 
        data set will be utilized in energy research and
        cartographic projects.
      Supplemental_Information:
        Procedures_Used:
          The commodities were digitized from the Energy 
          Mineral Resource Map of China and Adjacent Seas, published
          in 1992 by the Geological Publishing House, Chinese 
          Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources Information
          and Institute of Mineral Deposits of Chinese Academy of
          Geological Sciences, utilizing ARC/INFO.
