Definition
- ArcAtlas: Our Earth is digital atlas comprised of small scale GIS data sets and digital images containing information related to both the physical and cultural environment. More than 40 different geographic themes are incorporated. A number of prepared ArcView projects allow the user to view precompiled views by theme and region. Data are in ARC/INFO, ArcView or image formats. The map content and level of detail are similar to other standard maps at scales of 1:10,000,000 for Europe; 1:20,000,000 for North and South America, Africa, and Antarctica; and 1:25,000,000 for Asia and Australia. This data was prepared in a collaborative effort involving DATA+ (Russia), the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences, M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, and ESRI. See the documentation for more detailed information about this data. ArcAtlas is available to NCSU affiliates in conjunction with the campus license for ESRI software.
