Summary

Abstract

The data table SOURCES contains the primary sources used to create the ESI data set. See the Browse_Graphic section for a link to the entity-relationship diagram, which describes the way this table relates to other attribute tables in the ESI data structure.

Description

All ESI feature classes – the biology, socioeconomic, and the base ESI and HYDRO layers, share the SOURCES table. This is where feature and attribute specific metadata resides. In addition to providing citations for the ESI data, the SOURCES table can help users identify regional experts.
