TIGER/Line Shapefile, 2013, county, Forsyth County, NC, Current Other Identifiers Relationship File
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information
from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER)
Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line
shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. The Other
Identifiers Relationship File contains external identifier codes, such as National Hydrographic Dataset (NHD) codes and individual
county identifiers. The edge to which an Other Identifiers Relationship File record applies can be determined by linking to
the All Lines shapefile on the permanent edge identifier (TLID) attribute. Not every TLID has an external identifier associated
with it and some TLIDs may have more than one.

purpose:
In order for others to use the information in the Census MAF/TIGER database in a geographic information system (GIS) or for
other geographic applications, the Census Bureau releases to the public extracts of the database in the form of TIGER/Line
relationship files.

QuantitativeAttributeAccuracy
name Of Measure Attribute Accuracy
measure Description
Accurate against Federal Information Processing Series (FIPS), FIPS Publication 6-4, and FIPS-55 at the 100% level for the
codes and base names. The remaining attribute information has been examined but has not been fully tested for accuracy.
Completeness Commission
Completeness Omission
evaluation Method Description
Tabular data has been tested for proper domain and format.
ConceptualConsistency
name Of Measure Logical Consistency Report
measure Description
The Census Bureau performed automated tests to ensure logical consistency and limits of relationship files. Tabular data has
been tested for proper domain and format. 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 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. Most of the codes for geographic entities
except states, counties, urban areas, Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs), American Indian Areas (AIAs), and congressional
districts were provided to the Census Bureau by the USGS, the agency responsible for maintaining FIPS 55. Feature attribute
information has been examined but has not been fully tested for consistency.
notes: This metadata was automatically generated from the FGDC Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata standard version
FGDC-STD-001-1998 using the June 2011 version of the csdgm2iso19115-2_master.xslt stylesheet, which is based on NOAA's FGDC
CSDGM to ISO 19115-2 transform. This stylesheet has been modified for Census use by sepereating into various sections. The
Spatial Reference Information is not currently mapped over to ISO but will be mapped in future versions.
