The BIOSLIDE POINT ID isthe system- generatedunique identifierassigned to theindividual BIOSLIDEPOINT. It is assigned bySDE.

TIME UTC is the exacttime the BIOSLIDE POINTwas recorded. The TIMEUTC is documented usingthe universal standardUniversal Time code (UTC)i.e. the time 2:31:57 PMin UTC is 143157. Thus,all TIME UTC entries area maximum of 6 digitslong.

DATE UTC is the exactdate the BIOSLIDE POINTwas recorded. The DATEUTC is documented usingthe universal standardUniversal Time code (UTC)i.e. the date 2009 March31 in UTC is20090331.Thus, all DATEUTC entries are a maximumof 8 digits long.

LAT DDEG is the exactlatitudinal position onthe surface of the Earthof the VIDEO VEHICLE atthe DATE_UTC and TIME_UTCthat the BIOSLIDE POINTwas recorded. Thestandard used is DecimalDegrees i.e. 48.69734represents 48.69734

LONG DDEG is the exactlongitudinal position onthe surface of the Earthof the VIDEO VEHICLE atthe DATE_UTC and TIME_UTCthat the BIOSLIDE POINTwas recorded. Thestandard used is DecimalDegrees i.e. -123.480959represents -123.480959degrees from the PrimeMeridian (the PrimeMeridian is always 0degrees longitude and,for historical reasons,runs through the oldRoyal AstronomicalObservatory in Greenwich,England).

FEATURE CODE contains avalue based on theCanadian Council ofSurveys and Mapping’s(CCSM) system forclassification ofgeographic features.

GEOMETRY is the columnused to reference thespatial coordinatesdefining the feature.
