ESRI Data & Maps 9.3, 2008. World ESRI Data & Maps 9.3 is a 5 DVD set containing basemap and thematic data, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) imagery, US Census geography and the Tele Atlas 2003-based StreetMap North America. Contents: This subset of ESRI Data & Maps 9.3 includes basemap files at the World level. Data files include: Background: administrative areas (generalized), continents (generalized), and regions (generalized). Data: Cities; populated places (cities, towns, villages); administrative boundaries (including population); countries (including land areas, life expectancy, population change 2007-2025, political membership); continents; drainage systems; major rivers; major lakes; georeference grid lines; latitude and longitude graticules; regions; time zones; UTM grid; 30-degree grid lines; marine biomes; and terrestrial biomes. World Map (.axl, .lyr, .mxd, .pmf) (available in world.zip only) Formats: The basemap data files are in ESRI’s Smart Data Compression (SDC) format. This format can be read directly in ArcGIS software. Layer files (.lyr), which provide pre-selected graphics for display in ArcGIS software, are included with the data. Individual ZIP files contain data files in SDC format, associated layer files, and metadata. The world.zip file contains the entire data set for the world; users who wish to download the entire dataset should download this ZIP file rather than individual files. The World Map files can be found in the world.zip file. These files link to various SDC files throughout the dataset, and so are only useful when accompanied by the entire dataset. The Data Distribution Application (DDA) can be used to convert data from SDC format into shapefiles without using ArcGIS. This can be found by searching ABACUS for ESRI Data and Maps 9.3, 2008 - DDA Tool. The tool should be used in conjunction with the data contained in the world.zip file.
