2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

Date: 07-Feb-2006 (process 1 of 25)

The boundaries of this layer were delineated using the best available digital base data at the time. A geodatabase was created with the existing heading and data structure originating from the 2005 Manitoba Areas of Special Interest boundary layer. Those headings and structures were then adjusted to meet Conservation Area Reporting and Tracking System (CARTS) standards, and further manipulated to conform with a Disk Operating System (DOS) based naming system of no more than 8 characters. A new Areas of Special Interest Schema was created based on input from the Protected Areas Initiative, and the previous Areas of Special Interest layer from 2005 was loaded into the geodatabase with the appropriate fields matched to their new current fields.
