The shapefile is converted to SDC (Smart Data Compression) format using either ESRI SDC Data Development Kit Professional 2 (DDKP2) or tools in ArcGIS. The SDC data set is then loaded into ArcSDEr to verify and validate the geometry.
After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials.
The positional accuracy is unknown.
Attribute and geospatial data
The following steps were performed by ESRI: Extracted the four shapefiles from AND Global Road Data and merged them into a single data set. Renamed and rearranged the attributes. Added CNTRYNAME attribute and coded it based on the values of the NATION attribute. Recoded the TYPE attribute where a capital urban area isn't large enough to be a metropolis from 'metropolis' to 'city'. Removed records where values of TYPE attribute are 'airport'. Merged multiple record features into single record features. Added SQKM attribute and calculated its values. Converted the data set to SDC. Created ArcGISr layer file (.lyr), projection file (.prj), and spatial indices.
