Description
A characterization of the data, including its intended use and limitations.
Abstract: 
This is an index of the 1:24,000-scale U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle maps that cover the State of Connecticut. The index includes a polygon feature for each 7.5-minute quadrangle area. These data are for making a Quadrangle Index-based Mapbook Series. Mapbook is a developer's sample created by ESRI. It is an addition for ArcMap that allows the layout created in an ArcMap document to be used repeatedly to generate a series of similar maps. The extent of each map is controlled by the polygon features of the datalayer designated as an index. Attributes of the index are tagged to and used to change text on each map in the series.
Purpose: 
These data are suitable for making a Mapbook Series using the Quadrangle Index as a spatial index. Not intended for use in a conventional GIS mapping or spatial analysis application.

+ Data Quality and Accuracy Information
General
Information about the fidelity of relationships, data quality and accuracy tests, omissions, selection criteria, generalization, and definitions used to derive the data.
Logical consistency report: 
Polygon features conform to the following topological rules. Polygons are single part. There are no duplicate polygons. Polygons do not self overlap. Polygons do not overlap other polygons. No tests of logical consistency were performed by the State of Connecticut.
Completeness report: 
The degree of completeness is based on the extent to which the data covers the geographic area of the State of Connecticut. The layer is complete because it includes quadrangle index polygon features for all of Connecticut, including areas defined by 7.5 minutes of latitude and longitude where the USGS published 1:24,000-scale topographic quadrangle maps and areas of 7.5 minutes of latitude and longitude entirely covered by water (in Long Island Sound) where the USGS did not publish 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle maps.
Attribute Accuracy
Accuracy of the identification of data entities, features and assignment of attribute values.
Attribute accuracy report: 
All attributes have valid values. Values are within defined domains. The polygon attributes were manually entered.
Positional Accuracy
Accuracy of the positional aspects of the data.
Horizontal accuracy report: 
The horizontal positional accuracy of this data complies with the United States National Map Accuracy Standards for 1:24,000 scale maps.

FGDC Plus Metadata Stylesheet
Stylesheet: FGDC Plus Stylesheet
File name: FGDC Plus.xsl
Version: 2.2
Description: This metadata is displayed using the FGDC Plus Stylesheet, which is an XSL template that can be used with ArcGIS software to display metadata. It displays metadata elements defined in the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) - aka FGDC Standard, the ESRI Profile of CSDGM, the Biological Data Profile of CSDGM, and the Shoreline Data Profile of CSDGM. CSDGM is the US Federal Metadata standard. The Federal Geographic Data Committee originally adopted the CSDGM in 1994 and revised it in 1998. According to Executive Order 12096 all Federal agencies are ordered to use this standard to document geospatial data created as of January, 1995. The standard is often referred to as the FGDC Metadata Standard and has been implemented beyond the federal level with State and local governments adopting the metadata standard as well. The Biological Data Profile broadens the application of the CSDGM so that it is more easily applied to biological data that are not explicitly geographic (laboratory results, field notes, specimen collections, research reports) but can be associated with a geographic location. Includes taxonomical vocabulary. The Shoreline Data Profile addresses variability in the definition and mapping of shorelines by providing a standardized set of terms and data elements required to support metadata for shoreline and coastal data sets. The FGDC Plus Stylesheet includes the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. It supports W3C DOM compatible browsers such as IE7, IE6, Netscape 7, and Mozilla Firefox. It is in the public domain and may be freely used, modified, and redistributed. It is provided "AS-IS" without warranty or technical support.
