The data set includes arcs, polgons, polygon labels, and attributes for geologic provinces, as defined by the U.S. Geological Survey. Purpose: This data set provides one of the strategic tools to assist in the U.S. Geological Survey World Energy Project. This digital geologic province map was created specifically for the oil and gas assessment of selected provinces of the World. This metadata addresses only the South Asia region (Region 8) which is the subject of this cd_rom.

The geologic base map (reg8_glg) is created from scanned images of UNESCO geologic maps of the world. These maps are paper 1:5,000,000 and 1:10,000,000 scales. The geologic province maps are not intended to be used at a scale of larger than 1:5,000,000! This map is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the International Stratigraphic Guide.

The attributes and contact data were reviewed by U. S. Geological Survey scientists only. Accuracy and source of attribute data is further described in the introduction on map. Logical_Consistency_Report: Based on visual inspection and review with check plots and digital image examination gross errors are eliminated. Test conducted Jan. 1998 Completeness_Report: Some attributes were combined and some polygons generalized because much of the detailed attribute data and polygons were not needed for this assessment project. The geologic coding scheme was based on the World Energy Project standard which incorporates geologic age, and general lithologic type. Some attribute errors may exist because of cartographic difficulties in original map and inconsistancies between source materials. Attributes and contacts were verified via visual editing and review.

Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition: Geologic province NAMEs correspond to areal similarities in geologic, geographic, structural, and/or petroleum system characteristics. Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition_Source: The geologic province data set was produced from the interpretation and combination of several resources, including the geology, the distribution of oil and gas fields, structural geology, and geography. Numerous sources of geologic information were used for the final interpretation and designation of these provinces by C. J. Wandrey and, thus, may be biased in this way. Overview_Description: Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: The geologic provinces data set contains AREA, PERIMETER, -ID, CODE, PNUM, and NAME. AREA, PERIMETER, and -ID are calculated internally by ARC/INFO. The "NAME" of the geologic province is indicative of the geologic, geographic, structural, and/or petroleum characteristics for which it was named.
