To extend analysis to other Maine GIS data layers, a table GEOMCDCCD has been created for use with the coverage METWP24. GEOMCDCCD provides a crosswalk between Standard Geocodes for Maine Minor Civil Divisions and the Census County Division FIPS code COUSUB00 in MCDCCD00. The table is published and available for download through the "Tables" link of the MEGIS internet Data Catalog. Online Linkage: http://megis.maine.gov/catalog/ Description: Abstract: MCDCCD00 contains Census 2000 Minor Civil Division(MCD)/Census County Division (CCD) boundaries for Maine at 1:100,000 scale. Census county divisions, census subareas, minor civil divisions, and unorganized territories are primary subdivisions of counties for the reporting of decennial census data. These county divisions are of two functional types: legal and statistical. The Census 2000 TIGER/Line Files are the primary data source for MCDCCD00. The coverage is built to POLYGON topology and contains the attributes COUNTY, COUSUB00, COUSUB00NUM, COUSUB00NAME, POP00, and CENTAG. The item COUSUB00 contains the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) code a single 5 character code field used by the Bureau of the Census to identify CCDs. The item can be used to relate other Census data files to MCDCCD00 polygons. Purpose: MCDCCD00 was created to facilitate mapping, analysis, and use of Census 2000 data with other Maine GIS data layers. Other data layers for use with the MCDCCD00 coverage will follow. These depict the various levels of Census 2000 geography. In order of increased detail, these include VTD00 and BLKS00. Although Census boundaries represent real world features like rivers, lakes, railroads, political boundaries, etc., their primary purpose is for use in statistical analysis as such the Census TIGER/Line Files from which this coverage was derived may not coincide with representations of these features drafted for other purposes or at other map scales. Supplemental Information: Three tables GEOMCDCCD, POPMAPS and MEPOPS are available to assist with the analysis of Census geographic areas in relation to Maine minor civil divisions. GEOMCDCCD is a crosswalk table that contains the COUSUB number, the unique identifier in MCDCCD, and the GEOCODE relationship. POPMAPS provides a related analysis of Census 2000 county divisions for Maine. Developed by the Maine Census Consortium, Maine State Planning Office, the file includes 2000 and 1990 populations, numeric and percent population change, population density 2000 and density change. MEPOPS has been developed by MEGIS. MEPOPS contains previously published population data for Maine Census 2000 CCDs from decennial census data 1950 through 1990 and the relate item COUSUB00 found in MCDCCD00. These tables are published and available for download through the Maine GIS internet Data Catalog at http://megis.maine.gov/catalog/ . There is often no direct 1:1 relationship between minor civil division boundaries and Census geographic units. The rural character of Maine, and especially northern Maine, requires the Census Bureau to report counts and tabulations over larger areas for statistical reasons and the Bureau of Census redefines these areas as population shifts. MCDCCD00 represents the closest correlation between Census geographic units and minor civil division boundaries. All other Census geographies represent areas either larger or smaller than town or township boundaries and often cross boundaries. In most cases additional analysis will be required to report Census counts and tabulations by town or township.

Process Step: Process Description: MCDCCD00 was assembled from Redistricting TIGER/Line 2000 data for Maine counties, published in shapefile format by ESRI through the Geography Network at . The ESRI data layers were in county map extents, stored in geographic coordinates expressed as decimal degrees. The coordinates provided were in the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). The ESRI shapefiles were appended and projected to UTM, NAD83, Zone 19 in ArcView 3.2.1, then converted to Arc/Info coverage format with the SHAPEARC command. PRECISION was set to double, double and tolerances were reset throughout the process. The final copy of the coverage was returned to single precision with the result an excellent linework match to the Redistricting 2000 TIGER/Line File source. The coverage was built to POLYGON topology. Attributes of the ESRI shapefiles preserved in MCDCCD00 are the state and county FIPS codes and the CCD FIPS code COUSUB00. Names of the POLYGONS were restored from ESRI names to those used by the Bureau of the Census. To facilitate analysis the COUSUB00 code is provided in both text and numeric format, the item CENTAG was added for correct labeling and/or statistics where multiple polygons contain the same COUSUB00 number as is the case in some coastal communities where islands are depicted. The numeric item POP00 was populated and proofed from the Census 2000 Redistricting Data (P.L. 94-171) Summary File.

Standard Order Process: Digital Form: Digital Transfer Information: Format Name: ARCE Format Version Number: ARC Version 8.3 Format Specification: ARC/INFO Export Format ASCII File Structure: Case Sensitive: false Format Information Content: An Arc/Info export file is an interchange format used to transfer spatial data, INFO data files, and other ESRI ARC/INFO files between various machine types. Export files have the suffix .e00 and contain, in fixed-length ASCII format, all spatial information available for each feature. The command IMPORT is available in A/I to convert the export file to original format, i.e. coverage, grid, or other spatial data file. Import will add a spatial data file and a related INFO file to a machine directory. ESRI's ArcView is packaged with an import utility called IMPORT71 for the same export file conversion. The utility is also available through the FREE software link on the Maine GIS Data Catlaog under "CDProducts" at http://megis.maine.gov/catalog/ or from ESRI at http://www.esri.com/. CARE MUST BE TAKEN after import, not to separate the spatial information from its related INFO file. Since export files are in ASCII format make sure any file transfer method like FTP is executed under ASCII mode. Binary transfer will not work correctly.

Digital Form: Digital Transfer Information: Format Name: ESRI Shapefile Format Version Number: ARC Version 8.3 Format Specification: ArcView Shapefile Format ASCII File Structure: Case Sensitive: false Format Information Content: MEGIS will soon make all data in the internet Data Catalog available in ESRI's ArcView shapefile format. This additional format will first be available for E911 data under the TOWNS tab. A shapefile is a simple non-topological format that stores the geometry and attribute information for a set of geographic features as a set of vector (point, line, polygon) coordinates. Shapefiles draw quickly and directly in ArcView; you can create your own data using the shapefile format; an existing ARC/INFO coverage can be converted to a shapefile; other spatial data formats can be converted to shapefiles. Three files are created for each shapefile: .shp stores the feature geometry (shape and location information); .shx stores the index of the feature geometry; .dbf a dBASE (TM) file stores the attribute information for the features. Other index files may be created to help speed analysis and query: these file formats are .sbn .sbx .ain .aix .fbn and .fbx. In addition you may find projection .prj, and metadata .xml, files associated with shapefiles. CAUTION: When you edit an existing theme or shapefile you are creating a new dataset or at least a new version of a dataset; give the dataset a new name or a version identifier to reflect your edits. Be prepared to fully document your sources and to both quantify and qualify the edits you make in order to facilitate coordination with other data sources. PLEASE NOTE: conversion to shapefile format changes some characters ( # - .) to underscores; item names over 10 characters are truncated. An effort will be made over time to consider these limitations in item names, and to eliminate the use of these characters in Maine GIS data development. It should not be assumed that a conversion from shapefile back to coverage would produce the same data file as found in the original coverage format. The results of such a conversion are greatly improved by the use of PRECISION setting DOUBLE, DOUBLE and careful management of tolerances.
