Description
A characterization of the data, including its intended use and limitations.
Abstract: 
Polygon shapefile of LOJIC Metro Counties
2000 Census Places with selected 2000 U.S.
Census Data. Places are concentrations of population such as cities, that have legally
prescribed boundaries, powers, and functions.
Other populations centers without legally
defined corporate limits or corporate powers
are defined by the Census Bureau in
cooperation with state officials and local data
users. These places are called Census-
Designated Places (CDP) and are identified in
data tables by the acronym CDP following the
place name.
Since the LOJIC database was mapped at a
more accurate scale than the U.S. Census
block boundaries you will notice the place
boundaries do not line up exactly with the
LOJIC street/property data.
Also remember the data on race in Census
2000 are not directly comparable to data
collected in previous censuses.
Purpose: 
Used to provide geographic tie to U.S. Census
data for various purposes.

Metadata Standards
Description of the metadata standard used to document the data and reference to any additional extended profiles to the standard used by the metadata producer.

Time convention: local time

Profile: ESRI Metadata Profile

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.
