Description: This dataset is one of the GeoBase series of products. It contains current International, Economic exclusion zone and inter-provincial / territorial boundaries of Canada, plus the corresponding geopolitical areas. The dataset contains three files: an administrative boundary file, an administrative areas file and a metadata file. The administrative boundary file is made of non-overlapping, topologically correct (connected) simple features, with no dangles. An administrative boundary is a line that bounds two adjacent administrative areas. In the dataset, an administrative boundary may be split into several smaller segments, due to changes in attribute information. The administrative areas file is made of adjacent (contiguous) polygons. The polygon boundaries exactly align with the corresponding features in the administrative boundary file. The delivery format for this dataset can be either GML ASCII, KMZ or ESRI Shape file.
