Data Description |
|
Abstract: |
This digital product is a digital version of Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (NSNR&R) Published Map ME 1985-1, Industrial Mineral Commodities Map of the Province of Nova Scotia, compiled by J.H. Fowler, 1985. The digital product was created by the NSNR&R, Mineral Resources Branch (MRB) staff. The digital product was digitized from Map ME 1985-1 and the databases were developed from the information contained on this map. The digital product contains a layer for industriial mineral occurrences. |
|
Purpose: |
The purpose of this data set is to create a digital version of NSNR&R Map ME 85-1. This digital product shows the industrial mineral commodities present in Nova Scotia. |

Description: |
In March 2006 the data set was converted from being coverage based to shapefile based. All databases were updated to our current database structure. The data set was moved from GEO500 to MDEP500.
Some other changes were made to the databases as outlined below.
coverage D8501DP was renamed to shapefile D85001MO.SHP
The following info tables were cconverted to dbase tables and renamed as follows:
p8501dp.ind_comm to ind_comm.dbf
p8501dp.indmine to ind_mine.dbf
p8501dp.indoccur to ind_occ
p8501dp.mine_typ to mine_typ.dbf |

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 1:500 000 |
