The Kentucky Statemap FY96 deliverable included Arc/Info coverages with .nar
files indicating that they used Arc Document to create metadata. Try as I
might, I wasn't able to write a html or text file from it ("thread" errors and
such), but I did "list print" from Info, to create the attached output.

     23   Description: Geology of the Hazard 30x 45 Quadrangle, Kentucky
     24    Abstract:
     25   Digital mapping data files at the Kentucky Geological Survey are records
     26   of published geologic quadrangle map information for the state of
     27   Kentucky. This data set is derived from a series of 7.5-minute quadrangle
     28   maps, coal resource and coal availability maps (1:24,000 scale) and
     29   contains coordinate locations of the quadrangle, and information on
     30   geologic contacts, coal beds, structure contours, faulting, and
     31   paleontological sites.  Additional geologic or cartographic data was added,
     32   when necessary to complete the digital version of a geologic map.  The
     33   data are composed of polygons, arcs, and point data, and are searchable
     34   by feature classes. The data have been vectorized and can be
     35   manipulated using various GIS techniques. Accessory data such as
     36   DEM's, DRG's, DOQQ's, and point data associated with the water, coal,
     37   mineral, and oil and gas databases will be available through links to the
     38   main KGS databases. The digital geologic maps were generated at a
     39   scale of 1:24,000, combined at a scale of 1:100,000, and produced and
     40   distributed by the Kentucky Geological Survey.
     41    Purpose:
     42   These data provide users with a basic geologic framework of earth
     43   science information concerning geology, geologic contacts, coal beds,
     44   formational contacts, structure contours, faults, paleontological sites, and
     45   drill-hole data. This project was initiated in 1996 as part of the U.S.
     46   Geological Survey's STATEMAP program to convert published geologic
     47   quadrangle maps into digital format. The goal of the digital mapping
     48   program is to establish a mapping database that links the graphic data
     49   with their geologic components. STATEMAP mandates the collection of
     50   five major types of data: geologic, geochemical, geophysical,
     51   geochronological, and paleontological. Of the five components, geologic
     52   data has the most subcategories. Examples of subcategories include
     53   quadrangle, lithology, formation, faults, fossils, minerals, engineering,
     54   environmental properties, imagery, and drill holes, and it will be possible
     55   to search by them. In addition to the new mapping database, the dynamic
     56   links with the principal KGS databases of information on petroleum, coal,
     57   water, and minerals are being maintained. This will allow custom digital
     58   geologic maps to be produced, to which optional value-added data such
     59   as oil and gas wells, coal data, water data, and minerals data can be
     60   added.

    118   Data Quality Information
    119   Attribute Accuracy:
    120    Attribute Accuracy Report: Attribute accuracy is tested by manually
    121   comparing the source with hard copy printouts and/or symbolized display of
    122   the digital geologic data on an interactive computer graphic system; selected
    123   attributes that cannot be visually verified on plots or on screen are
    124   interactively queried and verified on screen. In addition, attributes are tested
    125   against a master set of valid attributes for the geologic formation category. Al
    126   geologic formation attribute data conform to the attribute codes in the
    127   American Association of Petroleum Geologists' Standard Stratigraphic Code.
    128    Logical Consistency Report: ARC/INFO chain-node topology present.
    129   Polygons intersecting the neat line are closed along the border.
    130    Completeness Report: Data completeness reflects the content of the source
    131   graphic. Features may have been eliminated or generalized on the source
    132   graphic because of scale and legibility constraints.
    133
    134   Positional Accuracy:
    135    Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
    136     Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: Accuracy of the digital data (if not
    137   digitally revised) is based upon the accuracy of the source maps, which
    138   were compiled to meet National Map Accuracy Standards (NMAS). NMAS
    139   horizontal accuracy requires that at least 90 percent of points tested be
    140   within 0.02 in. of the true position. Comparison to the graphic source is
    141   used as a control to assess digital positional accuracy. The digital data
    142   are estimated to contain a horizontal positional error of less than or equal
    143   to 0.003 in., which is the standard error in the two component directions
    144   relative to the source graphic. Cartographic offsets may be present on the
    145   graphic source, because of scale and legibility constraints. Digital map
    146   elements require edge alignment between data sets. Data along each
    147   quadrangle edge are tested against the data set for the adjacent
    148   quadrangle and, if necessary, are adjusted by moving the feature an
    149   equal distance in both data sets.

    702   Process Step:
    703    Process Description:
    704     Overview:
    705   As mandated by STATEMAP, the Kentucky Geological Survey collects
    706   digital information on geologic contacts, major coal beds, structure
    707   contours, faults, paleontological sites, and point data (outcrop or other
    708   features). The project used two 160-megahertz Pentium PC's, one
    709   Digital Equipment Corporation Alpha station 200, a Hewlett Packard
    710   650-C color plotter, and an Intergraph Eagle 3640 black and white
    711   scanner. One Pentium PC was used to drive the scanner and capture
    712   the raster image, and the Alpha station was used for vectorization and
    713   map compilation. Digital geology (alluvium) data were manually
    714   digitized from stable-base copies of the 1:24,000-scale geologic
    715   quadrangle maps registered to the standard U.S. Geological Survey
    716   (USGS) 7.5-minute quadrangles; the digitzed data were stored in
    717   topologically correct data files using ARC/INFO and AutoCAD
    718   software. Manual digitizing used a digitizing table to capture the digital
    719   data at a resolution of at least 0.005 in.; the data were attributed as
    720   they were digitized. The data were checked for position by comparing
    721   plots of the digital data to the source material.
    722
    723   Procedure:
    724   A multi-step process for digital conversion of geologic maps was developed
    725   to obtain accurate and reliable data. ARC/INFO 7.0.3 was used to capture
    726   vector files from raster images.
    727    Mylar Preparation:
    728   Published geologic maps were converted into digital vector data with a
    729   process using a stable-base composite (Mylar) of the geologic data. The
    730   composite was photoenhanced to create a film positive that contained all
    731   geologic data but eliminated the topographic contours.
    732
    733   Scan Parameters:
    734   Scanner accuracy presented unique problems for the conversion process.
    735   The scanner used Ascan 1.0, an Intergraph product, to obtain a raster
    736   image. Problems included medium stretch during scanning of a Mylar
    737   map, the scanner's roller control, and the scanner's camera alignment and
    738   calibration. These three problems were controlled by calibration and
    739   recalibration, as necessary, according to the manufacturer's specifications
    740   to maintain high standards for accuracy. The scanner software permitted
    741   scanning parameters to be adjusted for each scan to obtain best results.
    742   Contrast control was adjusted for each quadrangle to obtain high-contrast
    743   raster images. Speckle removal was not used because it removed some
    744   important data. A resolution of 400 to 600 dots per inch gave the best
    745   results, avoiding line coalescence and still resolving very thin lines that
    746   might not be totally captured at lower resolutions.
    747
    748    Registration and Rectification:
    749   After the Mylar map was scanned and saved as a raster image (TIFF), the
    750   image was then registered, using the ARC/INFO
    751   to a blank vector coverage created from the four known corner
    752   coordinates of the original Mylar map. These four points were expressed
    753   in either digitizer inches or real world coordinates. The registered corner
    754   points served as the georeferenced links between the original raster
    755   image and the vector coverage. Rectification, using the ARC/INFO
    756
    757   created a finer alignment between the TIFF image and the vector
    758   coverage
    759
    760    Image to Grid:
    761   The new rectified TIFF image was converted into an ARC/INFO grid that
    762   precisely overlaid the blank vector coverage. This grid was used as a
    763   raster background during vectorization. Some Quaternary deposits were
    764   manually digitized in AutoCAD 13.0 because of problems with stream and
    765   Quaternary boundaries encountered during scanning. Corner coordinates
    766   were also created as tic marks in AutoCAD and imported in DXF format
    767   into ARC/INFO.
    768
    769    Semi-automated Vectorization:
    770   Once the registered and rectified raster image was ready, the data were
    771   entered into ArcScan (an ARC/INFO product). This is a semi-automated,
    772   operator-assisted and controlled method for rapid vectorization of raster
    773   data. The vector arrow traced the raster image line until it intersected
    774   another line and then prompted the operator for directions on where to
    775   proceed. After the quadrangle was vectorized, polygons, arcs, and points
    776   were built in ARC/INFO to create topology. This established the coverage
    777   and attribute tables, which were used for later analysis. The information in
    778   these coverages is made up of three ARC/INFO feature classes:
    779   (polygons are created from the arc feature classes).

    781     Arcs and Polygons = Geologic contacts, coal outcrops, formational
    782   boundaries, structure contours, and faults
    783     Points = Selected outcrops, well locations, fossil locations
    784
    785   The attributes for the arcs and points are located inside the subfiles with
    786   the .aat and .pat extensions under the formation name (FMNAME),
    787   formation code (FMCODE), geologic quadrangle number (GQNUM), and
    788   Hazard 1:100,000 code (HZCODE) fields. Examples of the .aat subfile

    809    Edge Matching and Map Joining:
    810   Once several quadrangles were vectorized, their boundaries were
    811   compared with adjacent boundaries. Geologic features were connected
    812   and a seamless boundary was created, using the
    813   Maintaining geologic integrity and cartographic smoothness is important,
    814   because most boundaries are not perfectly aligned. The 1:100,000-scale
    815   digital geologic coverages were created by joining the 1:24,000-scale
    816   coverages into a seamless unit and then creating polygon, arc, and point
    817   topology for the new coverages in ARC/INFO.
    818
    819    Final Map Product:
    820   The STATEMAP program produces digital 1:24,000-scale maps. These
    821   maps were also compiled into a 1:100,000-scale product, and the legend,
    822   scale, and titles were added in the layout windows of ArcView GIS 3.0.
    823   The 1:100,000- scale digital geologic map also includes a stratigraphic
    824   column and topographic base.
