Native_Data_Set_Environment:
Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 1; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.1.0.706
Data_Quality_Information:
Logical_Consistency_Report:
No duplicate features are present. The shapefile is converted to SDC (Smart Data Compression) format in ArcSDE®. This verifies and validates the geometry.
Completeness_Report:
After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials.
Line simplification/smoothing was performed with a tolerance of 0.005 decimal degrees and a coordinate reduction using the Douglas-Peucker method with a tolerance of 0.0003 decimal degrees. Very small polygons were eliminated when the combination of geographic codes existed elsewhere.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The following steps were performed by ESRI: Converted to North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). Added features for Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico from the ESRI Data & Maps 2002 U.S. 107th Congressional Districts. Corrected attribute value consistency problems. Replaced the entire outer boundary of the continental U.S. (coastlines and international) with features from the U.S. 107th Congressional Districts. Generalized to a tolerance of 0.0003 decimal degrees. Created region (multi-poly) features based on the four-digit state/district id. Then formatted the attributes to match the common attributes in the U.S. 107th Congressional Districts. The values for the attributes, NAME and PARTY, were completed from The Associated Press and National Committee for an Effective Congress. In two records, the winner was still undecided, and the NAME and PARTY attributes were coded with "TBD". Created ArcGIS® layer file (.lyr), projection file (.prj), and spatial indices. Converted the data set to SDC.

The following steps were performed by ESRI: Copied the ESRI Data & Maps 2004 U.S. 108th Congressional Districts and renamed it. Updated the Maine and Texas boundaries. Updated the attribute values to represent the 109th Congress. Corrected the values for DISTRICTID attribute by changing 'xx99' to 'xx00'. Added the new value of 'Vacant' to the PARTY attribute. Recalculated the SQMI attribute values. Reduced the attribute width for NAME.
