No formal metadata exists for the old ID-GAP land cover (vegetation) coverage (ID_G1VEG). Because there has been a lot of confusion over how this data layer is organized and can be properly used, we offer the following information. We would like to state that these models have been supplanted by a newer models of Idaho's land cover and the user, in all likelihood, should be using this unless he/she knows what their doing.

Data Structure:
The ID_G1VEG coverage consists of two major tables with the following relationships and significant items. Other tables and items may exist, but they are not supported at present. Interpretation of their contents is at your own risk.
| id_g1veg.code - Table of wildlife species with descriptive attributes | ||
| Description: | This table contains the names of each of the land cover codes | |
| Relates to: | id_g1veg.pat | |
| Relationship | one record in .code table to many records in .PAT | |
| Significant Items: | ||
| VEG1CODE | Land Cover Type code from .PAT | |
| VEG1NAME | Name/Description of the Land Cover Type codes | |
| id_g1veg.pat - Polygon attribute table for ID_G1VEG coverage | ||
| Description: | This table contains a row for each polygon in the coverage and a land cover type code for each polygon | |
| Relates to: | id_g1veg.code | |
| Relationship | many records in .pat table to one record in .code | |
| Significant Items: | ||
| VEG1CODE | Land Cover Type code | |
Good luck!!!
