These boundary files are specifically designed for small-scale thematic mapping. When possible, generalization is performed with the intent to maintain the hierarchical relationships among geographies and to maintain the alignment of geographies within a file set for a given year. Geographic areas may not align with the same areas from another year. Some geographies are available as nation-based files while others are available only as state-based files.\r\n\r\nMetropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas are together termed Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) and are defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and consist of the county or counties or equivalent entities associated with at least one urban core (urbanized area or urban cluster) of at least 10,000 population, plus adjacent counties having a high degree of social and economic integration with the core as measured through commuting ties with the counties containing the core.  Categories of CBSAs are: Metropolitan Statistical Areas, based on urbanized areas of 50,000 or more population; and Micropolitan Statistical Areas, based on urban clusters of at least 10,000 population but less than 50,000 population.\r\n\r\nThe CBSAs boundaries are those defined by OMB based on the 2010 Census and published in 2013.</gco:CharacterString>\r\n         </gmd:abstract>\r\n         <gmd:purpose>\r\n            <gco:CharacterString>These files were specifically created to support small-scale thematic mapping.  To improve the appearance of shapes at small scales, areas are represented with fewer vertices than detailed TIGER/Line Shapefiles.  Cartographic boundary files take up less disk space than their ungeneralized counterparts.  Cartographic boundary files take less time to render on screen than TIGER/Line Shapefiles.  You can join this file with table data downloaded from American FactFinder by using the AFFGEOID field in the cartographic boundary file.  If detailed boundaries are required, please use the TIGER/Line Shapefiles instead of the generalized cartographic boundary files.</gco:CharacterString>\r\n         </gmd:purpose>\r\n

Segments making up the outer and inner boundaries of a polygon tie end-to-end to completely enclose the area.  All polygons were tested for closure. The Census Bureau uses its internally developed geographic update system to enhance and modify spatial and attribute data in the Census MAF/TIGER database.  Standard geographic codes, such as INCITS (formerly FIPS) codes for states, counties, municipalities, county subdivisions, places, American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian areas, and congressional districts are used when encoding spatial entities.  The Census Bureau performed spatial data tests for logical consistency of the codes during the compilation of the original Census MAF/TIGER database files.  Feature attribute information has been examined but has not been fully tested for consistency.\r\n\r\nFor the cartographic boundary files, the Point and Vector Object Count for the G-polygon SDTS Point and Vector Object Type reflects the number of records in the file's data table.  For multi-polygon features, only one attribute record exists for each multi-polygon rather than one attribute record per individual G-polygon component of the multi-polygon feature.  Cartographic Boundary File multi-polygons are an exception to the G-polygon object type classification.  Therefore, when multi-polygons exist in a file, the object count will be less than the actual number of G-polygons.</gco:CharacterString>\r\n               </gmd:measureDescription>\r\n               <gmd:result gco:nilReason=\"unknown\"/>\r\n            </gmd:DQ_ConceptualConsistency>\r\n         </gmd:report>\r\n         <gmd:lineage>\r\n            <gmd:LI_Lineage>\r\n               <gmd:processStep>\r\n                  <gmd:LI_ProcessStep>\r\n                     <gmd:description>\r\n                        <gco:CharacterString>Spatial data were extracted from the MAF/TIGER database and processed through a U.S. Census Bureau batch generalization system.</gco:CharacterString>\r\n                     </gmd:description>\r\n                     <gmd:dateTime>\r\n                        <gco:DateTime>2015-05-01T00:00:00</gco:DateTime>\r\n                     </gmd:dateTime>\r\n                     <gmd:source>\r\n                        <gmd:LI_Source>\r\n                           <gmd:description>\r\n                              <gco:CharacterString>Geo-spatial Relational Database</gco:CharacterString>\r\n                           </gmd:description>\r\n                           <gmd:sourceCitation>\r\n                              <gmd:CI_Citation>\r\n                                 <gmd:title>\r\n                                    <gco:CharacterString>MAF/TIGER</gco:CharacterString>\r\n                                 </gmd:title>\r\n                                 <gmd:date>\r\n                                    <gmd:CI_Date>\r\n                                       <gmd:date>\r\n                                          <gco:Date>201505</gco:Date>\r\n                                       </gmd:date>\r\n                                       <gmd:dateType>\r\n                                          <gmd:CI_DateTypeCode codeList=\"http://www.isotc211.org/2005/resources/Codelist/gmxCodelists.xml#CI_DateTypeCode\"\r\n                                                               codeListValue=\"revision\"\r\n                                                               codeSpace=\"003\">revision </gmd:CI_DateTypeCode>\r\n                                       </gmd:dateType>\r\n                                    </gmd:CI_Date>\r\n                                 </gmd:date>\r\n                              </gmd:CI_Citation>\r\n                           </gmd:sourceCitation>\r\n                        </gmd:LI_Source>\r\n                     </gmd:source>\r\n                  </gmd:LI_ProcessStep>\r\n               </gmd:processStep>\r\n            </gmd:LI_Lineage>\r\n         </gmd:lineage>\r\n      </gmd:DQ_DataQuality>\r\n   </gmd:dataQualityInfo>\r\n   <gmd:metadataMaintenance>\r\n      <gmd:MD_MaintenanceInformation>\r\n         <gmd:maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency>\r\n            <gmd:MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode codeList=\"http://www.isotc211.org/2005/resources/Codelist/gmxCodelists.xml#MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode\"\r\n                                             codeListValue=\"notPlanned\"\r\n                                             codeSpace=\"011\">notPlanned</gmd:MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode>\r\n         </gmd:maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency>\r\n         <gmd:maintenanceNote>\r\n            <gco:CharacterString>This was transformed from the Census Metadata Import Format</gco:CharacterString>\r\n         </gmd:maintenanceNote>\r\n         <gmd:contact xlink:href=\"https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/B04DFA5D-40CD-B677-E040-0AC8C5BB4473\"\r\n                      xlink:title=\" U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Geography Division, Geographic Products Branch (custodian)\"/>\r\n      </gmd:MD_MaintenanceInformation>\r\n   </gmd:metadataMaintenance>\r\n</gmi:MI_Metadata>","source_transform":{"@type":"dcat:Dataset","accessLevel":"non-public","contactPoint":{"@type":"vcard:Contact","fn":"U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Geography Division, Spatial Data Collection and Products Branch","hasEmail":"mailto:geo.geography@census.govv"},"describedByType":"application/octet-steam","description":"The 2014 cartographic boundary shapefiles are simplified representations of selected geographic areas from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). These boundary files are specifically designed for small-scale thematic mapping. When possible, generalization is performed with the intent to maintain the hierarchical relationships among geographies and to maintain the alignment of geographies within a file set for a given year. Geographic areas may not align with the same areas from another year. Some geographies are available as nation-based files while others are available only as state-based files.\n\nMetropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas are together termed Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) and are defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and consist of the county or counties or equivalent entities associated with at least one urban core (urbanized area or urban cluster) of at least 10,000 population, plus adjacent counties having a high degree of social and economic integration with the core as measured through commuting ties with the counties containing the core.  Categories of CBSAs are: Metropolitan Statistical Areas, based on urbanized areas of 50,000 or more population; and Micropolitan Statistical Areas, based on urban clusters of at least 10,000 population but less than 50,000 population.\n\nThe CBSAs boundaries are those defined by OMB based on the 2010 Census and published in 2013.","distribution":[{"@type":"dcat:Distribution","describedByType":"application/octet-steam","downloadURL":"http://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/GENZ2014/shp/cb_2014_us_cbsa_20m.zip","mediaType":"placeholder/value","title":"Shapefile Zip File"},{"@type":"dcat:Distribution","accessURL":"http://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/tiger-cart-boundary.html","describedByType":"application/octet-steam","description":"Simplified representations of selected geographic areas from the Census Bureau's MAF/TIGER geographic database","title":"Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles"}],"identifier":"cb_2014_us_cbsa_20m.shp.iso.xml","issued":"201505-01-01T00:00:00.000+00:00","keyword":["Boundaries","2014","SHP","Cartographic Boundary","Generalized","Metropolitan Statistical Area","Micropolitan Statistical Area","United States","US"],"language":[],"license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/","modified":"201505-01-01T00:00:00.000+00:00","publisher":{"@type":"org:Organization","name":"U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Geography Division, Spatial Data Collection and Products Branch"},"rights":"otherRestrictions","spatial":"179.773922,17.913769,-179.174265,71.352561","temporal":"2015-05-01T00:00:00+00:00/2015-05-01T00:00:00+00:00","title":"2014 Cartographic Boundary File, Metropolitan Statistical Area/Micropolitan Statistical Area for United States, 1:20,000,000"},"status":"error"}
