Information About the Data in Each Atlas • top
Metadata provides identifying information about an ESI atlas, including what items/regions were mapped, shoreline type definitions, data sources and providers, and geographic reference information. Below are the PDF versions of the metadata for the Alaska ESI atlases.
Note: For atlases published since 2002, we generally provide metadata in additional formats (HTML, SGML, and TXT) on the CD/DVDs, which you can order from the Get ESI Maps page. |
