- Abstract
- This is a subset of the Canvec administrative layer for Canada and the US. Administrative Features entities are: Geopolitical Region(border). CanVec is a digital cartographic reference product ofNatural Resources Canada (NRCan). It originates from the bestavailable data sources covering Canadian territory, offers qualitytopographical information in vector format, and complies withinternational geomatics standards. CanVec is a multi-sourceproduct coming mainly from the National Topographic DataBase (NTDB), the Mapping the North process conducted by theCanada Center for Mapping and Earth Observation (CCMEO),the Atlas of Canada data, the GeoBase initiative, and the dataupdate using satellite imagery coverage (e.g. Landsat 7, Spot,Radarsat, etc.).

- Purpose
- The administrative features of the CanVec series include geopolitical regions (international, territorial and provincial) and populated place names. A wide selection of attributes describe the data. The CanVec multiscale series is available as prepackaged downloadable files and by user-defined extent via a Geospatial data extraction tool.

- Data Quality
- The data quality assessment (including completeness and thematic accuracy) is directly performed duringdata production process. The validation method applied depends on the data source used. CanVec datacomes from 3 different sources: GeoBase initiative (ex.: National Road Network (NRN) data), digitaltopographic data production of the Canadian Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation (CCMEO) andthe Atlas of Canada Series.For data coming from the GeoBase initiative, data quality is ensured by the producer (and partner). Thevalidation mechanism used may vary from one partner to another.For topographic data produced by CCMEO, data quality is ensured by a systematic inspection process.Each dataset content is validated against the originated source or against an independent source. Alldetected errors are corrected.For data coming from the Atlas of Canada Series, the data quality depends on data source availability,the map scale, the map feature selection by the cartographer and the quality control of the content.
