This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):
Horizontal positions are specified in geographic coordinates, that is, latitude and longitude. Latitudes are given to the nearest 0.000001. Longitudes are given to the nearest 0.000001. Latitude and longitude values are specified in Decimal degrees.
The horizontal datum used is D_WGS_1984.
The ellipsoid used is WGS_1984.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.000000.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257224.
Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.
Coordinates defining the features.
Calculated areas for the features.
Names for the features.

The following steps were performed by ESRI: Extracted the features from ArcWorld 1:25M. Added and replaced features from ArcWorld 1:3M. Generalized to match detail of the Cntry00.shp. Added attribute values from the Rand McNally New International Atlas, the Times Atlas of the World, and the Digital Chart of the World. Updated Area attribute. Removed unneeded attributes. Renamed an attribute. Created ArcGIS™ layer file (.lyr). Created ArcView legend file (.avl). Created projection file (.prj). Ran ArcView Avenue request ExportClean, and created spatial indices.
Data sources used in this process:
The geospatial part of this data set was extracted from the ArcWorld 1:25M and 1:3M databases and then generalized (tolerance unknown). The positional accuracy is unknown.
After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials.
No duplicate features are present.
