Reid Publication_Date: 02282005 Title: Point Coverage SCASMPL: Sediment sample data for the Channel Islands and Santa Barbara Channel Region Edition: Version 2.0 February 2005 Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: point data Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Santa Cruz, CA Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey Online_Linkage: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2005/1170/index.html Description: Abstract: Point data of surficial sediment textures from usSEABED, standardized and data-mined from existing studies, show the spatial extent of gravels, sands, muds, and areas of hard bottom in the Channel Islands and Santa Barbara regions. Purpose: These data are provided to give information on surfical geology, including sediment texture and areas of no sediment cover. These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. Supplemental_Information: Version 2.0 of scasmpl is a updated subset of the usSEABED database in the area of interest. Regional publications of the entire usSEABED are pending; these publications will contain more complete data and information about usSEABED and the data-mining process. Those data are in comma-delimited format, and can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) software and most database softwares. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee-compliant metadata file is intended to document the data set in nonpropriety form, as well as ArcExplorer format, this metadata may include some ArcExplorer-specific terminology.

Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Accuracy of each attribute is dependent on the accuracy of the lineage data. Logical_Consistency_Report: Data in usSEABED are based on the observations and analyses of others, filtered through a unifying and mining software. Each source report varies in what is recorded and in what format. Only those observations that are recorded can be filtered and mined; only presence (not absence) or information can be noted. Users of the data should note the code in the field "DataTypes" to determine the origin of the information in the following fields. E = based directly on analytical data and are very reliable as the data were measured directly; P = based on verbal descriptive data and are less reliable and may represent the entire sample (including stones, shells, biota, and other non-typical textural data). Values are determined using fuzzy-set-theory-based filters passed over qualitative data. Values have been adjusted to match the mean values of analytical data. C = calculated from other information and various assumptions. These are the least reliable data due to the reliance on fuzzy set theory and assumed values for constants and appropriate use of equations to derive values. x = no information Completeness_Report: Only data from the topmost portion of the sample are published (<0.05 m top depth). Downcore information exists for many of the samples. Additional useable data may exist in this area; the authors appreciate any information and leads. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Locational accuracy is dependent on the accuracy of the navigational technique from the lineage source and may vary from 0.005km (differential GPS) in more recent surveys to greater than 2 km based on radar, Loran, or dead reckoning in older surveys. Users of the data should use their own criteria for assessing the accuracy of the locations. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Locational accuracy is dependent on the accuracy of the navigational technique from the lineage source. Users of the data should use their own criteria for assessing the accuracy of the locations.

Process_Step: Process_Description: Data were digitized as needed and hand-edited into dbSEABED format. Data quality and assessment performed with dbSEABED relational database program (RDBi, version 1/6/05) to ensure correctness of formatting. Also tested data with plausibility filters to ensure reasonable of data, (RDBi, version 1/6/05). Iteratively processed through dbSEABED filtering and mining software program (MNEs, version 2/10/05) to ensure completeness of formatting and meaning. Combined dbSEABED MNEs outputs using dbSEABED unifying program (ONEg, version 9/7/04, extracted data preferentially chosen). Hand-edited to remove downcore data and duplicate analyses; Subsurface data are not included. Data were iteratively tested in a GIS for locational correctness, consistency, and appropriateness of results.
