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

  85.     Polygons and line work for the geologic provinces are
  86.     drawn on a digital geologic cover (reg8_glg) included on the cd-rom.
  87.     The geologic base map (reg8_glg) is created from scanned images of
  88.     UNESCO geologic maps of the world.  These maps are paper 1:5,000,000
  89.     and 1:10,000,000 scales.  The geologic province maps are not intended
  90.     to be used at a scale of larger than 1:5,000,000!
  91.     This map is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with
  92.     U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the International
  93.     Stratigraphic Guide.

  186.   Completeness_Report:
  187.     Some attributes were combined and some polygons generalized because
  188.     much of the detailed attribute data and polygons were not needed for

  190.     World Energy Project standard which incorporates geologic age, and
  191.     general lithologic type. Some attribute errors may exist because of
  192.     cartographic difficulties in original map and inconsistancies between
  193.     source materials.  Attributes and contacts were verified via visual
  194.     editing and review.
