Data Description
  Abstract: This digital product is a compilation of geological data which was collected as part of the Targeted Geoscience Initiative Project (Phase 2) from 2003-2005. The data was used to create Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (NSNR&R) Open File Maps OFM ME 2005-118 and OFM ME 2005-119, compiled by R. D. Naylor, P. S. Giles and D. C. Brisco, 2005. The digital product was created by the NSNR&R, Mineral Resources Branch (MRB) staff. The original digital data was compiled from a number of sources and supplemented by field done during the course of the project. The digital product contains layers for geological features such as: anticlines/synclines, drillholes, faults, bedrock geologic units, geological contacts, mineral occurrences, neatline, outcrops, reference outlines, aggregate samples, spore samples and structural data.
  Purpose: The purpose of this data set is to create an ArcView version of the data collected as part of the TGI Project (Phase 2) and to produce 2 new 1:50 000 maps. This digital product shows the bedrock geology on 1:50 000 NTS map sheets 11E/06 and 11E/07, and parts of 11E/05, 11E/10, 11E/11 and 11E/12.

Processing Step Information
 
Processing Step (1 of 6)
  Description: In 2003 MRB's GIS group began compiling data for the TGI-2 project form a number of different sources. Data from these sources will be released as their own digital product, but selected data from these sources was combined with the data collection that took place as part of TGI-2 and maintained as part of this digital product. Most of the digitizing and compilation of the data from other sources was done by casual employees Dawson Brisco, Adam Sherry, Jeff McKinnon and Sharon Lee under the direction of Brian Fisher and Jeff Poole.
  Software and Version: ArcView 3.2a
  Date: January 2004 - August 2004
  Contact Person: (see Contact Information)
 
Processing Step (2 of 6)
  Description: From August 2004 - April 2005 Dawson Brisco worked on culling the required data from the other sources of data and combining it with data collected during field mapping during the late summer 2003 and summer of 2004. He was largely responsible for identifying what data from other data sets was required to placed into the compiled DP 185 databases and further which data was to be plotted on the 1:50 000 and 1:10 000 maps.
  Software and Version: ArcView 3.2a
  Date: August 2004 - April 2005
  Contact Person: (see Contact Information)
 
Processing Step (3 of 6)
  Description: In April 2005 MRB began final quality control on the DP 185 databases and began building the final maps. Jeff McKinnon was responsible for much of the reviewed and standardization of the databases.
  Software and Version: ArcView 3.2a and ArcInfo 8.3
  Date: April - October 2005
  Contact Person: (see Contact Information)
 
Processing Step (4 of 6)
  Description: The final cartographic product to be developed from the TGI-2 data set was 2 1:50 000 maps and 13 1:10 000 maps. Angie Ehler was responsible for developing the hard copy map products.
  Software and Version: ArcMap 8.3 - mapbook extension
  Date: April - October 2005
  Contact Person: (see Contact Information)
 
Processing Step (5 of 6)
  Description: In October 2005 DP ME 185 version 1 was released along with the 2 1:50 000 maps, OFM ME 2005-118 (Truro) and OFM ME 2005-119 (Hopewell).
  Software and Version: not applicable
  Date: October 31, 2005
  Contact Person: (see Contact Information)
 
Processing Step (6 of 6)
  Description: In August 2006, Version 2 of digital product DP ME 185 was released. The data was converted from the UTM zone 20 NAD27 projection and datum to UTM zone 20 NAD83 coordinates. No other changes were made to the data.

  Technical Prerequisite: In order to view this dataset, mapping software is required (eg. ArcView, MapInfo, AutoCad). If you do not have this software, ESRI provides a free map viewer called ArcExplorer, which you can download over the Internet. This viewer works with the E00 files and an ArcExplorer Import Utility (import71.exe) is needed to convert the E00 files into ArcInfo coverages, which can be then viewed in ArcExplorer. Problems have been reported trying to import ARC E00 files into ArcView on Windows 95 computers. Related tables do not import into ArcView. It is not a problem on UNIX, Windows 3.1 or Windows NT platforms. If you experience this problem you can use our DXF/DBF product which contains the tables in dBase format. dBase files can be imported into ArcView. This map is intended for use at the published scale of 1:50 000. In order to view our PDF files on your computer, you will require a PDF Viewer (e.g. Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) Reader). If you do not have this software, Adobe(R) provides this software, Adobe(R) provides this software for FREE download over the Internet. You will require Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) Reader version 4.0 or greater to view the PDF files. In order to use the hotlink feature within ArcView 3.x in you may need to load MRB's Hotlink Anything extension which may be located in the arcview/ext directory along with documentation. You may also need to set the variable MEBGIS_HOME on your system to the location of the data set on your system. The SHP product provides an ArcView project set up with the hotlinks working. Some modifications to the HOTLINK field in the database tables or in the HLFILES may be required to make the hotlink work properly. Knowledge of ArcView and hotlinks may be required to make this work properly.
