| Abstract | This ARC/INFO polygon coverage contains the second level |
| administrative boundary. The coverage is part of the SALB dataset. |
| Supplemental Information | In order to ensure a close match between different national |
| coverages, and to obtain compatibility with other standard medium |
| resolution data sets, all national boundaries were replaced with the |
| international borders boundary database developed by the UN |
| Task Group on International Borders (International Boundaries |
| Database, Version 1.0). Due to differences in the quality of the |
| documents compiled, the SALB dataset is better adapted for |
| thematic mapping than for depicting precise locations or spatial |
| modelling. It is therefore recommended not to use this data at a |
| scale below 1:1 000 000. The coding scheme combines the ISO3 alpha code | |
| and a numerical code. |

| Data Quality Comments | Due to differences in the quality of the documents compiled, the |
| SALB dataset is better adapted for thematic mapping than for |
| depicting precise locations or spatial modelling. |
