Description:
Abstract:
The boundary of the Santee Experimental Forest (SEF).
Purpose:
The SEF boundary encompasses 2469 hectares which was set aside in 1937 for forest research within the Francis Marion National Forest (FMNF).
Supplemental_Information:
Feb. 2012: The Forest Compartment data was downloaded from http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/scnfs/landmanagement/gis by Julie Arnold of the SEF. The SEF is the FMNF compartment number 85. The data was then clipped to keep only compartment 85 to serve at the SEF boundary. The metadata was edited for the SEF Database. Feb/Mar 2011: The FMNF adjusted boundaries for many compartments to better match ownership, roads, streams, etc. using existing GIS layers and DOQQs. Oct. 6, 2009: The FMNF imported compartments from old SDE library (FMSSDE). Updated attributes when necessary.

Process_Description:
Edgematching: During the edgematching process alternating quads were brought into Arc Edit as edit coverages. Using the NRIMA 7.5 minute reference guide, only alternating, or hatched quads were selected as edit coverages in an attempt to prevent migration of features. Surrounding quads were brought up as back coverages, and arcs or polygons that traversed quad boundaries were edgematched with a degree of error of less than .5 meter. Any arc on the edit coverage that approached the quad boundary but did not have a corresponding arc on the back coverage was given an error code of Ea00, referring to an arc feature not continued over a quad boundary with no correction made. All edit coverage arcs that were moved to align with back coverage arcs with a measure of error of less than .5 meter were coded as either Ed12 or Eb12 in the edgenote item. Ed12 being the code given to arcs that were off by more than .5 meter but less than 15 meters. Eb12 was the code given to arcs that were off by more than 15 meters. The direction in which the arc was moved to be closer to the corresponding back coverage arc was noted in the mdir item field, and the distance between the edit coverage arc and the corresponding back coverage arc was recorded in the mdist item field.

Process_Description:
Attribute: During the attributing phase of data development, feature attribute values are compared to a source map specific to the data layer. These maps include 1:24,000 USGS 7.5 minute topographic maps,USF&WS NWI Wetlands maps, NRCS County Soil Survey maps, and General Highway maps. Edits are then executed based on comparisons of the digital data to these source maps.

Process_Description:
Quality Review - Final Phase: The tertiary quality review process is the final QA phase and consists of thorough reviews of the data layer. These inspections are aimed at identifying any remaining errors and inconsistencies in the data. The process involves running a series of Arc/Info macros (AMLs), the first of which logs all errors and recommends corrections. The attributes of each feature (arc and polygon) are compared to a master attribute list and any discrepancies and omissions are logged. All features are then reattributed and then all quads are mapjoined and mismatches in attributes across quadrangle boundaries are identified, tagged, inspected and corrected if necessary. Frequencies are then run on items of the .aat and .pat (when necessary) to identify any remaining features which have not been attributed. Finally, random manual quadrangle spot checks are performed and corrections made when necessary. All coverages are then exported (COMPRESS=FULL) and placed on the public web server for dissemination.
