Ecological Land Classification (ELC) Status

Abstract: This dataset is produced for the Government of Alberta and is available to the general public. Please consult the Distribution Information of this metadata for the appropriate contact to acquire this dataset. The Ecological Land Classification (ELC) Status is a supporting dataset to the Ecological Land Classification dataset. The ELC Status represents a geodatabase feature class of the ELC study areas. There is attribution to describe the scale of the study, whether there is a scanned report (.pdf), scanned map (.tif) or GIS-ready feature class available.

Data Quality Information:
Attribute Value Accuracy Information:
Attribute Accuracy Report: The attribution accuracy is not available but it should be noted that several Portable Document Format files and / or Tagged Image Format files are listed as missing or not applicable. The missing images will be listed as complete as they are located. Some images may not be available as the original maps were captured as Design files or ArcInfo coverages. Some reports have only descriptions for the ecological classification and there are no associated Tagged Image Format files. Some areas only have Ecological Land Classification mapping and no associated report.
Logical Consistency Report: The individual datasets by study area are not necessarily edge-matched so gaps and overlaps exist between the study areas. The geometry was checked and no repair was necessary.
Completeness Report: Ecological Land Classification mapping exists for only a portion of the province. There is continuous mapping for much of the eastern slopes but otherwise the mapping is discontinuous. There are currently over 160 Ecological Land Classification studies at a variety of scales, although most study areas were mapped at a scale of 1:100 000. No Ecological Land Classification maps have been converted into GIS-ready format although many have been georeferenced and rectified.
Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: The positional accuracy is unknown as the boundaries were derived from many different sources.
Vertical Positional Accuracy:
Vertical Positional Accuracy Report: Not applicable
Lineage:
Process Step:
Process Description: A status map was created by digitizing the extents for the ELC maps. Descriptions inside of the reports were used if no map was available.
