<abstract>
This GIS datalayer contains administrative areas for the region covered by the transboundary Daugava/Nemunas database. Attributes contain information about countries and administrative units.The primary data source for the data set is EuroMaps on CD-Rom, Bartholomew Digital Map Data, 1996. The data set is in shapefile format and can be accessed directly from the CD ROM or saved to a local directory.</abstract>
<purpose>
The primary purpose for preparing the data set was to illustrate administrative areas within the two river basin districts. </purpose>
<supplinf>
This data set is based upon the following data source: EuroMaps on CD-Rom, Bartholomew Digital Map Data Publisher: Bartholomew Publication date: 1996 Publication place: England Media: CD-ROM Access constraints: Copyright in the data belongs to Bartholomew Contact institution: unknown Bartholomew Euro maps on CD-ROM contains virtually the entire vector data set that was used to produce printed maps such as road atlases, at scales of around 1:1m (approximately 16 miles to the inch) at the time of publication in April 1996. It is appropriate for viewing on a computer screen at scales of up to 1:250 000 or so. The objects in the vector data set include attributes, such as the name of a town or the nature of a tourist site. This version of the product does not include road numbers, but it does contain indexed names for more than 77,000 towns, 3,000 mountain peaks and passes, 60 countries and 730 administrative divisions. The various types of feature are organized into some forty separate layers, so more detail can be revealed progressively as one zooms in to a larger scale. The data set generally extends from 13°W (the Atlantic Ocean) to 47°E (the Caspian Sea) and from 35°N (the Mediterranean) to 72°N (the Barents Sea). Iceland is also included, as well as Madeira, the Canary Islands and the Azores. To the South-East corner of this extent, especially beyond the Black Sea, some features in this version of the data set are incomplete. The source data set called Adm_Area contains the detailed boundaries of administrative divisions within countries, wherever their names are available. In Ireland, for example, these divisions are counties, and in Scotland and Wales they are unitary local authorities. The divisions do not necessarily represent the same administrative level throughout Europe. Within this layer each division is a single region, covering the entire land area up to the coast, and including any off-shore islands. This may not necessarily correspond to the boundary lines shown in separate layers, which in some cases run through the ocean. This layer is suitable for thematic mapping by administrative division.

Bartholomew is an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers. In 1991 Bartholomew, Geographia and Nicholson were amalgamated with Collins under the group name of HarperCollins and a large cartographic publishing operation was created. The Collins Bartholomew website was first introduced in 1997 (the year after Euro-maps was released) as www.bartholomewmaps.com and has been designed as a selling medium for their digital mapping services. EuroMaps on CD-Rom is not listed among the Collins Bartholomew products on their website (see http://bartholomewmaps.com/barts.asp?pid=1200). The applications of the license for this product are therefore unclear since the institution that created it no longer lists or sells it on their website. However, it is always possible to inquire here: Custom Mapping/Rights and Permissions (World and European Maps) Kathryn Kelly Tel: +44(0)141 306 3752 E-mail:kathryn.kelly@harpercollins.co.uk The data set was prepared in the following manner: The ADM_AREA.shp file was projected and clipped to fit the database projection and boundaries.</supplinf>
