Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
All data has been reviewed for correct application of attributes and is accurate to current conditions.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The shapefile is converted to SDC (Smart Data Compression) format using tools in ArcGIS. The SDC data set is then imported into a file geodatabase to verify, validate, and if needed repair 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.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The level of detail for each feature is generally better than what is traditionally utilized in a 1:500,000 scale product. The positional accuracy is typical of a 1:100,000 scale map, or +/-50 meters 90% of the time.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The following steps were performed by Esri: Extracted the data set from the subset of DeLorme World Base Map (DWBM). Added field TYPE and calculated its values using the source DFCC code and descriptive look up table. Added field RANK and calculated its values based on the source field LOI which numerically ranks feature importance using a DeLorme numbering scheme. Deleted all fields except NAME, ISO_CC, TYPE, and RANK. Converted the data set to SDC. Created ArcGIS® layer file (.lyr), projection file (.prj), and spatial indices.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The following steps were performed by Esri: Selected the ten populated places in South Sudan and updated their field values. Selected populated place Juba and updated its field values to a national capital. Selected populated places in Taiwan and updated their field values. Converted the data set to SDC. Created ArcGIS® layer file (.lyr), projection file (.prj), and spatial indices.
