Description
A characterization of the data, including its intended use and limitations.
Abstract: 
Idaho Department of Water Resources administrative region boundaries derived from 1:24k scale boundaries
Purpose: 
To denote the IDWR admin regions for any variety of IDWR programs.
Supplemental information: 
Procedures_Used: 1. Initial linework copied from 100K IDWR Administrative Basins coverage (see ADMINBAS cover). 2. Region name field added to PAT and all basins coded with their respective region name within pcARCEDIT. 3. Linework for regions DISSOLVED on region name field. Revisions: none Reviews_Applied_to_Data: none Related_Spatial_and_Tabular_Data_Sets: none Other_References_Cited: n/a Notes: n/a

All lines were refined to 1:24k April 2009.  Followed 24k County lines, watershed lines, NHD lines.  Meetings were held with Don Shaff and Jeff Peppersack (IDWR) to refine and correct some areas of question.

FGDC Plus Metadata Stylesheet
Stylesheet: FGDC Plus Stylesheet
File name: FGDC Plus.xsl
Version: 2.3
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.
