This is a nonspatial table that provides definitions for some of the terminology used in a GeMS database.
This table in the GeMS file geodatabase is a glossary of the terms or words found in or related to the geodatabase for the geologic map. This is a nonspatial table that provides definitions for some of the terminology used in a GeMS database.
The purpose of this GeMS file geodatabase is the storage and management of the geospatial data of the geologic information in the Athena 1:24,000-scale quadrangle, Umatilla County. This file geodatabase was compiled to construct a geologic map of the Athena 1:24,000-scale quadrangle, Umatilla County, Oregon, and it is this map that is a deliverable for U.S. Geological Survey STATEMAP program. This is a GeMS file geodatabase with cartographic representation and the central storage location for features and associated tables. The features and tables contain 1:24,000-scale geologic map data of Athena 7.5′ quadrangle, Umatilla County, Oregon. At the core of this product is the U.S. Geological Survey Geologic Map Schema (GeMS) file geodatabase incorporating FGDC standard schema for digital geologic map data. The storage location for features is GeologicMap dataset and with additional attributes in associated tables.

Geologic mapping was supported in part between 2021 and 2022 by grants from the STATEMAP [http://ncgmp.usgs.gov/about/statemap.html]component of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program under cooperative agreement G21AC00647. Additional funds were provided by the State of Oregon through the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries.
Care was taken to limit categorical attribute errors. Attribute accuracy of the database was visually inspected but despite the checks there may be some attributes that are still mislabeled.
Attribute fidelity is tested by manual comparison of the source with the records in the table. Source definitions are copied directly from the source into the table to limit human error in transcription, unless modification of the definition is required to best fit the term used, or digital sources are not available.
The Glossary table only includes information collected to for the project area and used in the respective geodatabase. Data collection does not include all possible terms and thereby is not complete. Geologic concepts and definitions of map units are current.
Terms were copied directly from electronic sources when available, and were manually scribed when electronic data was not available. Lineage maps were used as base maps in the following manner: 1) to compare the mapping against previous work; 2) scribing geologic features, e.g., bedding, faults, and folds; and 3) reference materials.
