		The data are indexed by state, county, and place FIPS codes.
		The data contain information on a wide range of geographic features such as populated places, rivers, mountains, certain buildings, etc. The data provided include geographic coordinates, elevation at the point, population (if applicable), and the FIPS codes for the state and county containing the feature (but not the feature itself).
		The system describes the codes and the relationships between different entities, such as the part of relationship between a U.S. state and a county.

		The codes associated with the geographic entities Reporting Region, County and Municipality are based upon a two character alphanumeric.
		If necessary such codes should be able to stand on their own and be legible by users in other agencies without special translation.
		Codes are to be based upon the primary name for the entity.

	The Natural Area Coding System
		A Natural Area Code is a set of very short geodetic coordinates to represent an area anywhere on the earth or a three-dimensional region in the universe.
		Since The Natural Area Coding System has generated simple NACs for all areas on the earth and three-dimensional regions in the universe and short coordinates for all geodetic points, the system can significantly improve the structure of a geographic or geospatial database and reduce its storage size more than 80%.
		They need to specify new codes, cancel old codes, adjust the postal zones, publish postal codes books and postal zones atlases, and force people to change their codes, and to cause the loss of many mails due to the change of the codes.

	4 Planet Multicast: Geographic MBone Maintenance
		Although such motion of course dislocates the tunnels from their geographic reference points on the globe, which would be disorienting for a single tunnel, it was useful when comparing tunnel groupings complex enough that the tunnels alone connote geographic structure.
		Useful configurations of color and linewidth coding were then exported via VRML by rerunning the pipeline and hardcoding in the color and linewidth values that were found during a previous interactive session.
		The combination of color and linewidth coding, interactive navigation, and moving groups away from the central mass to quickly see hidden structure allowed us to confirm that the each individual backbone had a quite reasonable topology with little redundancy.

	What is a Geographic Information System? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a system for assembling, storing, manipulating, and displaying data which contains physical locations (geographic coordinates) of features and information about those features (attribute data).
		This glossary is intended to serve the reader who may be unfamiliar with some of the terminology associated with geographic information systems.
		These techniques are designed for the elimination of repetition, removal of irrelevancies, and the employment of special coding techniques, such as run-length encoding.

	Using Geographic Codes to Import Data into MapPoint (Microsoft MapPoint 2004) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		This code consists of the two-digit province/territory code, the two-digit census division code, and the three-digit census subdivision code.
		The European Union uses NUTS codes as the standard for their data products, and this coding scheme is being used increasingly as a trans-European standard.
		Many other code schemes are used for the countries/regions of the world; for example, the Distinguishing Sign code used on automobile stickers, the International Olympic Committee country codes, the Internet top-level domain suffixes, and so on.

	What's New in MABLE/Geocorr 2K
		This collection of geographic codes was built (almost entirely in the initial release) from the 2000 Census Summary File 1 geographic headers files.
		As such, it reflects the Census geography (tracts, block groups and blocks) as used for the 2000 decennial census and also all the related geographic codes that were relevant at the time (January 1, 2000).
		We were able to add the codes Urban/Rural, Urbanized Area/Urban Cluster, and PUMA5, the geographic codes used in the 2000 Public Use MicroSample 5 percent sample files.

	EARTHUSE Graphic_Overlay_Method Coding
		Coding schemes are the essential component for the clear understanding and appropriate homogeneous delineating of landscape components.
		Numeric coding such as whole numbers are used graphiclly in the GIS analysis process.
		Layers of information are often graphically combined using vertical stripes, diagonal stripes, horizontal stripes, (in numerous combinations), but the "best" coding schemes seem to be "Color Codes" because they tend to be the most intelligible when used to delineate complex maps.

	ABC Coding Solutions - Alternative Link
		ABC codes are also supported by legal practice guidelines that indicate whether the coded care is within the legal scope of practice of more than a dozen practitioner types in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, based on statutes, administrative regulations, and case law.
		The resulting 7-character "code + modifier" is used in the same data fields as older medical codes and their modifiers—except that the ABC code and identifier/ modifier can be linked to state-specific legal practice guidelines to help automatically ensure care was in compliance with statutes, administrative regulations, and case law.
		ABC codes are supported by (1) practitioner identifiers used as code modifiers that characterize caregivers on a per code basis, (2) RVUs that reflect the financial worth of interventions, and (3) legal practice guidelines that establish the legality of delivered care on a per intervention, per practitioner, and per state basis.

	Geographic Feature Codes
		The feature code does NOT mark when it was digitized, what dataset it belongs to, how accurate it is, what it should look like when plotted, or who is responsible for updating it.
		MSRM has found this classification scheme useful for GIS, so has extended the scheme to other types of data, such as environmental, forestry, geology, etc. As new features are defined, they are added to the feature database.
		New or revised feature codes may be submitted by delegates from each Ministry using these instructions for submitting feature codes.

	ICPP Coding Manual, Home
		Most parties are organized on spatial rather than on functional lines, and a spatial or geographic scheme seems most generally suited for determining the most "intensive" level of party organization.
		The degree of party organization includes the geographical coverage or extensiveness of organization as well as the intensiveness of organization, which is measured by the preceding variable, 8.02.
		Parties are coded according to what constitutes the modal category of frequency of meetings for the most intensive unit of party organization.

	Minnesota Legislature - Geographic Information Systems
		Some counties also include unorganized territory, that is, geographic areas not organized into a town or city and instead governed directly by the county board.
		On the map, the user will be able to show by color coding or shading how census units or districts compare to each other on the basis of any attribute selected from the attribute menu, such as total population, Black population, or partisan index.
		The Subcommittee assumes that the 2001 Legislature will require that all plans considered by a committee or on the floor use the same geographic areas and population counts as in the Subcommittee's redistricting database, so that this posting of plans may be facilitated.

		But most non-economists would have a hard time telling you whether a value of $25,000 for this indicator was considered high, low, or somewhere in between.
		We would use this information to "color code" the Average Household Income cell a dark green whenever we were reporting for a county with a value larger than $44,186.
		If you want to see the cell color coding in printed versions of these reports generated from Microsoft Internet Explorer you will need to make sure that a printing option is set.

		GDF (Geographic Data Files) is a European standard used to describe and transfer road networks and road-related data.
		Settlements and named areas (postal codes, elective districts etc) - These are always useful for reference, but for postal code areas, the amount of data and thus the GDF data set will increase rapidly — and thus its price.
		A code is created by the system when needed that sends the information, which is then interpreted, used, and discarded by the receiving system.

		Thus, it is often difficult to merge the databases of agencies because of the inconsistencies in the codes.
		Others have started from scratch and have started identifying the features and the coding scheme being utilized in their agencies.
		This would pave the way for the standardization of codes and for generating the standard terms and definitions for this type of information.

		A coding system must be sufficiently specific to accurately represent the information, but broad enough to encompass the work of all eleven districts.
		Points on the maps were compared with the text and a system of codes was developed for each location and entered into the GIS database.
		The coding scheme for the Village Inventory should include the ability to distinguish between positively valued features and negatively valued features.

	SIDOS - Geographical Distribution
		This includes the study of relationships between geographic regions, such as cantons, language regions, place of residence, and level or urbanization, with social and political science themes, such as aspects relating to the type of work, political behavior, attitudes and values, identity, public health, and resource distribution.
		In other words, anything that is dispersed in geographical space can be subjected to a geographical analysis.
		One way to study geographic dispersion would be to use district codes as used by the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (OFS/BFS), a far more precise geographic coding scheme, compared to postal codes.

		These included a proposal from Winona County to update land records, establishing a mechanism for updating statewide land-use data and an inventory of state-owned land, including all navigable waters at the time of statehood to be completed by Minnesota Planning.
		He explained that the first task would be to gather the information about what exists and create a crosswalk between them, and then assess the need for a standardized statewide coding scheme.
		The aim is to develop a structured set of terms used in documenting geographic data to provide guidance to those writing and searching for metadata.
