Data Catalog:
Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) compliant metadata is       available for all the data contained on this DVD. The text, HTML, and FAQ       versions of the metadata reside in the metadata directory, under a       subdirectory appropriate for the data type. The links to these files are       provided below. Each data set has metadata available in several formats.       The information contained within each file is the same, just presented       differently to help make the information more user friendly. ArcGIS 9.0       compatible XML metadata is stored in the directory with the actual data       files.

Shapefiles generally include *.shp, *.shx, and *.dbf files at a       minimum. For the sake of brevity, only the filename prefix has been       included in the filename designation listed below. All the files necessary       to load a shapefile have been compressed into a single WinZip file,       including all forms of the metadata. Therefore, these shapefiles can be       downloaded directly from the DVD, or by clicking on the filename in the       data catalog and saving the "zipped" files to a preferred location and       uncompressing them. Georeferenced images and their supplemental files can       be transferred in the same manner.

ESRI formatted grids cannot be copied directly from the DVD. To       successfully copy an ESRI grid, ESRI software such as ArcView or       ArcCatalog needs to be used. For that reason, grids were exported from the       ESRI software into an ESRI ASCII grid format. These ASCII grids and their       projection file were then WinZipped into a single file. These "zipped"       files are available for download by clicking on the filename. When       importing these grids, be sure to import them as floating point rather       than integer grids. 

Clicking the camera icon will give a preview of the data set. In most       cases this image contains other information to help orient the viewer. For       instance, the study area graphic also contains the state boundaries for       reference. No graphic is presented for the SeaBoss images or       seismic-reflection profile images as these images can be browsed from       within the individual folders. Within the animation section, a preview of       a snippet of each animation is available, as the complete animation is       quite large. The IVS previews are merely a screenshot of what is visible       in the Fledermaus file.

For guidance on where to obtain software capable of reading shapefiles       and uncompressing zipped files, see the System       Requirements page.
