			<abstract>Fire History polygons represent the final mapped wildfire perimeter.  These data are maintained at the Forest / District level to track the area affected by fire.
</abstract>
			<purpose>This data set was created to achieve consistant data, throughout Region 6, for management, planning or analysis involving fire history.  Historical Fire Perimeters is a geospatial derivitive of each National Forest's Historical Fire record, of the final forest fire boundaries. It was during 2006 when Region 6 Data Resource Management Data Standardization Team, collected all the spatial data available from each National Forest, in the Pacific Northwest Region.  To maintain consistancy throughout Region 6, one standardized data set of the entire Region was created.</purpose>
			<langdata Sync="TRUE">en</langdata><supplinf>Fire History polygons represent the area which the wildfires burned.  Wildfire data is collected and maintained at the Forest and or District level to aid in tracking the areas affected by fire.  This data set was compiled by requesting each National Forests individual fire history coverage data, then standardizing the data according to the Forest Service National Data Dictionary Standards, Fire Management Theme, Fire History Layer, dated June 30, 2003.  The data collected is from the years 780 until present.  Two National Forests, the Olympic and Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie, had scientists from their PNW Labs do extensive research using carbon dating techniques to determine fire years for pre 1800 fire perimeters.  The Gifford Pinchot and Siuslaw National Forests did not have Fire History spatial data of fire boundaries at the time this data set was created.  The majority of the forests collected their data using UTM Coordinates in Zone 10.  Those forests using UTM Zone 11 was MAL, UMA, and WAW.  The forests who used TM Coordinates were GIP, WIN, COL, and WEN.  The only forest using LCC Coordinates was OKA.  Initially all forests used NAD1927 datum.  Beginning in 2007 data maintenance procedures follow the R6 Fire History edit guide and are annually coordinated through Fire and Aviation Management / Data Resources Management at the Regional level.</supplinf></descript>

		<complete>Region 6 Data Resource Management (DRM) Data Standardization Team (DST) used queries and concatenation of fields to populate empty required attribute fields.  Where reported_acres and or size_class fields were empty, DST used GIS ArcInfo Software to calculate and fill those attribute fields.  DST conducted a visual survey on the fire history data that was collected and standardized in 2005.  This survey was used to determine attribute completeness, for each forest, in the region.  Attribute completeness was only determined based on the mandatory item fields in the data set, which contained fire history data.  No accuracy check was made on the quality of the data, only if data existed, in the mandatory fields.  Forest overall attribute completeness levels vary across the region.  Depending on individual forests, attribute completeness ranges anywhere from 90 percent complete, to not complete.  Attribute completeness, when averaging across the whole Region was 50 percent.  The Gifford Pinchot and Siuslaw National Forests do not have spatial data for fire polygons.  This completeness report refers to the Initial dataset, which had a thorough QA/QC process.</complete>

The following information was taken from individual forests metadata, only where metadata was attached to data, when it was submitted to DST.

MOUNT HOOD NATIONAL FOREST; Jaimie Bradbury, Acquired shapefile in UTM10, NAD27 from Jim Wrightson, Fire, Mt. Hood NF HQ.  Projected shapefiles to Albers NAD83.  Imported into polygon feature class with existing attribute fields in working personal geodatbase.  Created new polygon feature class in final personal geodatabase.  Imported National GIS Data Dictionary defined fields from standardized firehis_pl coverage.  In ArcMap, copied and pasted polygons from working personal geodatabase into final personal geodatabase.  Edited table to add values to fields.  Submitted dataset update to Data Standardization Team (Colleen Williams) 3/30/2007.

WILLAMETTE NATIONAL FOREST; May 2007 incorporated additions, fires from 2002, 2003, 2005, and 2006.  These were provided by fire, as new perimeters to the fire history personal geodatabase created by the DST.  Rosana Costello provided a geodatabase to Colleen Williams by May 30, 2007 for incorporation into the regional geodatabase.  Additional attributes for NIFMID, and local fire numbers will be provided and populated at a later date, awaiting that information from Fire.

DESCHUTES NATIONAL FOREST; Procedures Used:  Polygons were delineated and manuscripted on a 1:24000 USGS quad base.  Original data came from many sources: (1) Pre-1908, no formal records exist, however some reconstructions of the fire regimes of that time have been accomplished by tree ring and stand analysis.  Work on the Deschutes NF has been done by Bill Hopkins, Bob Martin, and Steve Simon with district personnel pursuing ancient fires in specific management areas.  Gini Stoddards efforts have not addressed this period.  (2) 1908-1922, formal, and rather meticulous, fire atlases were kept for the forest during this time.  Outlines of the larger fires were added to the atlases on an annual basis.  Gini transferred these outlines to the USFS Quads using the section lines as a guide.  Often the roads, topography, and/or the image on the 1979 or 1991 Orthogonal photos did not match the transferred outlines particularly well.  Certainly there were many errors in the old base maps themselves as well as errors in location of the fires.  Almost certainly the outlines of the fires from this era are generalizations since the scale is half inch per mile and the outlines are very smooth.  All users of this GIS layer must be aware of the potential inaccuracy of the fire outlines for this time frame.  Probably the interior regions of the fire have been accurately captured but there is most certainly errors along the edges.  (3) 1923-ca 1940, no formal mapping of large fires was kept in atlas form.  Since 50 to 70 years have passed since this era, and extensive logging has further obscured the signatures of these fires, it is nearly impossible to outline these fires from modern aerial photos.  As a consequence, many fires from this time were not mapped, but they are carried in the database.  The "Can't locate" comment in the remarks section indicates which fires (15 total), mostly from this era, were not mapped.  At least five of these fires were greater than 1000 acres.  This history needs to be further developed through other means such as newspaper accounts, private timber company records, other photos such as the lookout panoramas, and interviews.  (4) 1940-present, Individual districts resumed the keeping of fire atlases with large fire outlines.  In addition there are many Forest Service retirees and current employees who fought these fires or were involved with post fire sales and regeneration efforts.  Of course, the photography for this era is also much more useful.  The major photo series for the entire forest for this time were 1959 black and white, 1967 black and white, 1979 Orthogonal, 1991 Orthogonal, 1991 color, 1900 (exact years unknown) U2, and often special infra-red flights of specific fires.  (5) Future, with the advent of GPS, it is unlikely that the methods used in this study (outline on mylar and digitized or scanned for transport into GIS) will be used in the future.  Rather, each fire perimeter will be GPSd and those data will be fed directly into GIS.  The desire to retain "hard copy", however, may lead to the annual update of the mylar quads stored in the SO Fire unit.

Revisions or updates are made yearly.  Reviews Applied to Data; the manuscripts were reviewed by Deschutes National Forest fire specialists.  Related Spatial and Tabular Data Sets; this coverage incorporates ARC/INFO regions for overlapping fire polygons, a subclass table in INFO was created, the subclass is named fires.  There may be PC data in the FID field.

Other References Cited: Notes; A fundamental problem in a fire mapping project is the definition of terms or concepts.  Some major considerations are as follows: What is a fire on the Deschutes NF?  This project used USFS records, as a result, fires on land which was USFS at that time were recorded.  Fires on other public lands or private lands that may now be USFS lands may have been missed.  Generally, Gini tried to record as many fire outlines as possible on the USFS quads.  Is fire intensity mapped? It was not possible within the time frame of this effort to make any of the fire distinctions regarding fire intensity that are essential to ecological impact assessments.  In fact, it may not be possible to quantify intensity for most of the older fires.  Indices of fire intensity might be calculated, however, from weather and stand data included in the old atlases.  No attempt was made to differentiate between stand replacement and underburn fire behaviors.  Certainly the reason some of the fires from the early part of this century are difficult to locate is that they were underburns with little canopy damage.  This has probably changed to the extent that modern fires are much more likely to crown and leave a clear signature in the forest and on aerial photography.  Where is the fire boundary?  For recent fires it is usually the "cat line".  Where possible Gini mapped where the fire stopped short of the line, or crossed it.  With few exceptions small spots and unburned islands were not differentiated.  This dataset is the most recent version, reflecting yearly updates.  New fires are added yearly.

Use Constraints on Deschutes data; Although manuscripted on a 1:24000 base, the data sources for this coverage are extremely variable, as stated earlier in Procedures Used.  Due to the nature of data recording and mapping, some fires less than 100 acres may be omitted.  This dataset may not be suitable for project level work.  Data Set Credits belong to Robert J. Sherman and Karen Curtis, Deschutes National Forest Fire staff.

CSA4 Blue Mountain Forests are UMATILLA, WALLOWA-WHITMAN and MALHEUR NATIONAL FORESTS; Supplemental Information on CSA4 Forests Data; is stated their coverage is only intended to track fires greater than or equal to ten acres.  Fires involved as a complex are recorded under there original fire number and not the complex number.
Attribute Accuracy Report on CSA4 Forests Data; states attributes were checked against valid values included in the Core Data standards data dictionary.  A value of 100 was given with an Explanation that full outer joins were completed against lookup values for features.  Logical Consistency Report stated permissible attribute values were checked using lookup values in ArcInfo Tables.  Build was completed at publication time for polygon coverages if necessary, dangles were eliminated, and all editing used Arc9.x for the tests.  Completeness Report stated the coverage was complete for all fires turned in through the year 2006, but there were still some missing 2006 fires being worked on by fire.

CSA4 Forests Process Steps and Process Description:
20030609 - Andrew Lacey, Forest GIS Coordinator on the Umatilla National Forest; New polygons are added as regions to the coverage from GPS collected files or are heads up digitized from hand drawn maps using roads, streams, and land ownership boundaries as guides.
20040920 - Andrew Lacey, Forest GIS Coordinator on the Umatilla National Forest; Blue Mountain Triforest coverage was created from individual forest coverages.  Step one was to make each forest coverage structurally the same.  Step 2 was to eliminate all overlap of identical fires.  An example was the Summit fire.  The Summit fire was a Malheur NF fire responsibility, so the polygon and region from the Malheur coverage was maintained and the polygon and region from the Umatilla coverage was eliminated.  Step 3 was to append the three coverage region features together into one coverage.  Step 4 was to do a region dissolve to eliminate any duplicate records beyond the cover-id.  The dissolve was based on all the items beyond the cover-id item.  Step 5 was to run regionclean to eliminate from the polygon features any unneeded polygons that were no longer needed to maintain unique region features.  Coverage was then updated to the latest core standard, for this feature, and converted to double precision.
20050405 - Andrew Lacey, Forest GIS Coordinator on the Umatilla National Forest; Added one fire for year 2004 on Ukiah District.  Added historical fires for pre-1900 and pre-1910 from historical records.  Both of the sources for the 1900 and 1910 fires were at 1,000,000 scale.
20050407 - Andrew Lacey, Forest GIS Coordinator on the Umatilla National Forest;  Added new field to the end of the region feature INFO table.  The field was kcfire_id.  It is used to connect to the PCHA Database and other historical databases.  Move values from the local number field to this field for Wallowa-Whitman NF fires only.
20050513 - Andrew Lacey, Forest GIS Coordinator on the Umatilla National Forest; Moved values from KCfast_id field to nifmid_cn field and deleted kcfast_id field as being redundant.
20050609 - Dave Stockdale, GIS/Data Services Analyst on the Malheur National Forest;  Added three fire perimeters from old Snow Mountain District library.  Fixed label errors - build coverage to add labels to empty polygons and removed duplicate labels from polygons.
20050722 - Dave Stockdale, GIS/Data Services Analyst on the Malheur National Forest;  Replaced the 604 fire in Snow Mountain with polygons from the Snow Mountain library "wif" coverage; these are more accurate because they show unburned areas.
20060131 - Carolyn Winkler, GIS Data Specialist on the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest;  Wallowa-Whitman NF 2005 large fires added to coverage.  Three Burns BLM 2005 fires added (two near the forest boundary and one within forest boundary). 2006 fires for Umatilla NF were added.
20060417 - Andrew Lacey, Forest GIS Coordinator on the Umatilla National Forest; Projected Data Set to USDA-FS R6 Albers Projection System.
20070213 - Debbie Rinehart, GIS Specialist on the Umatilla National Forest; Updated with 2006 fire polygons.  Missing some polygons with what information that is in the fire history database.  Informed the fire people of that and they are currently working on it.  Removed a label point that was in error.

COLVILLE NATIONAL FOREST; Process Steps and Process Description: Colville National Forest and vicinity extracted from zone-wide coverage.  Overlapping fires within this cover are NOT complete regions. ArcInfo coverages from the Okanogan, Colville and Wenatchee were copied to an edit workspace where they were individually updated to meet new National Core Data Standards, then stitched together into one coverage for the EWZ.  ArcInfo source contribution coverages were "fh" Colville cover, "rockcut" Colville cover, "fh" Okanogan cover, "wenhistfire" Wenatchee cover, "fire01bdy" Wenatchee cover, "fire70bdy" Wenatchee cover, "fire94bdy" Wenatchee cover, and "dinkelbdy" Wenatchee cover.
Process Steps and Process Description:
20070208 - Janice Berube, GIS/DATA Services Specialist on the Colville National Forest; Updated with Colville NF 2006 fires, Day Creek and Bisbee.  The region.fire attribute table was updated for fires greater than 100 acres with data copied from the firehis_pt layer.  Fields updated were Fire_Name, Cost, Data_Source, Reported_Acres, and NIFMID_LNK and Local_Number.  The NIFMID_LNK and Local_Number compare to the firehis_pt layer in /fsfiles/ref/library/gis/col.  The data from these two fields originate in different blocks on the fire report form.
20040819 - Janice Berube, GIS/DATA Services Specialist on the Colville National Forest; 2003 fires were added to coverage.
20060320 - Cindy Potestio, GIS/DATA Services Analyst on the Colville National Forest; Reprojected to Region 6 Albers NAD83 projection.
Two other processes were listed, one for dataset copied and metadata imported.
</procdesc>
				<srcused>Each individual National Forest submitted data files to DST, for the Initial Standardization Phase and the First Major Update Cycle.  Where metadata was present in forest covers, the Process Step and Process Description was summarized here for each forest having metadata.</srcused>
				<procdate>Initial Standardization Phase was completed in 2005 and the First Major Update Cycle was completed in 2007.</procdate>

TWO PROCESS STEP SUMMARIES FOLLOW HERE, ONE FOR 2005 FOLLOWED BY THE UPDATE PROCESS OF 2007.

METADATA SUMMARY OF ATTRIBUTE CODING USED BY DST DURING THE INITIAL FIRE HISTORY STANDARDIZATION PROCESS IN 2005.

The black normal font text in this document is taken from the GIS Core Data Dictionary, June 30, 2003.  The (text inside parenthesis) indicates where, why and what changes were made during the standardization process by DST, which is not documented in the GIS Core Data Dictionary standards.

NIFMID_CN - Control number generated in Oracle to uniquely identify each fire across all Forest Service Units.  These control numbers are only generated by FIRESTAT, for fires reported to the NIFMID database in Kansas City.  Other fires included in this cover will have a null value for this field.    Value Description:  A unique code is generated by Oracle or a null value if the fire was not reported through FIRE STAT, to the NIFMID database.  This field is populated from the Fire Stat database.  This number can be found in the NIFMID Table under the column named FIRE_ID.

NIFMID_LNK -  A unique 17 character code composed of concatenating Agency, unit, subunit, discovery year and fire number as downloaded from the National Fire Occurrence Database in Kansas City via KCFast.  Value Description:  Concatenation of Agency, unit, subunit, discovery year and fire number.  These standards are from the KCFast application.  Code example, AAARRFFYYYY######, where AAA is the Agency; RR is the Forest Service Region; FF is the Forest Number; YYYY is the Fire Discovery Year; and ###### is the Fire Number with leading zero's to make it a 6 character, zero filled field. (Example:  USF06012006000022).  All parts of this code are right justified and zero filled.  This code is used as a link between SDE and the NIFMID database in Kansas City.  FIRESTAT_LNK, found in the table S_R06.FIRE_NIFMID, is the linking field composed by concatenating the following fields from NIFMID, the National Fire Occurrence Database in Kansas City.  Where AAA is PROTECTING_AGENCY, RR is REPORTING_FS_REGION, FF is REPORTING_FS_UNIT, YYYY is the year taken from DISCOVERY_DATE and ###### is the FIRE_NUMBER with leading zero's added to make it a 6 character, zero filled field.  (According to direction given to DST by Dale Guenther, where this field is null, it will be populated using an AML created by DST.   The AML will generate this field, using the covers item fields, by concatenating AGENCY, unit, subunit, FIRE_YEAR, and LOCAL_NUMBER.  If any of these item fields are null, they will be zero filled.)

FIRE_NAME - The final name of the fire.  Value Description:  Name may contain text and/or numbers.
(Because the FIRE_NAME was in all caps, mixed upper and lower case, had many symbols that could create problems within ArcGIS or in databases, this field was standardized.  The AML used by DST contains a "Fix FIRE_NAME Routine" where it puts the fire name in proper case, rather then all Capitol letters.  It removes any symbols like  # &amp; " _ .  /  from the fire name.  The routine will also drop the word "Fire" from any fire name, as stated in FSH 5109.14 "Do not include the word "Fire" as part of the name", (e.g. Bear Fire would be Bear).   Where FIRE_NAME is left blank, the field will be populated with "Unknown".  Some examples of how names were changed follow below: )

FIRE_DAY - The day of the month that the geographic data represents.  Value Description:  Date that the data represents.  Day must be zero-filled.  If only the year is known, enter only the year and note the source in the comments field.
(According to direction given to DST by Dale Guenther, this field can not be 00.  If only the Month and Year is known enter 01 for the FIRE_DAY.  If only the FIRE_YEAR is known leave this field blank.)

FIRE_MONTH - The month that the geographic data represents.  Value Description:  Date that the data represents.  Month must be zero-filled.  If only the year is known, enter only the year and note the source in the comments field.
(According to direction given to DST by Dale Guenther, this field can not be 00.  If only the Day and Year is known enter 01 for the FIRE_MONTH.  If only the FIRE_YEAR is known leave this field blank.)

FIRE_YEAR - The year that the geographic data represents.  Value Description:  Date that the data represents.  If only the year is known, enter only the year and note the source in the comments field.
(According to direction given to DST by Dale Guenther, where this field had values like, 18yy, 18xx, or 19??, DST was instructed to use 1850 or 1900 with the comment "Exact fire year unknown", if there was room in the COMMENTS field.)

LOCAL_NUMBER - It is important to use the FIRE_NUMBER, that was used in NIFMID, on the fire report for this field.  This is a confusing field, because the GIS Data Dictionary does not give a good definition, and this is the field used to create the NIFMID_LNK.  The FIRE_NUMBER, required in NIFMID, is a three digit number assigned to the fire by the Forest Supervisor's Office.  Many NIFMID_LNK numbers do not match, or link, with the NIFMID database because this number was incorrect.

(LOCAL_NUMBER - Clarification of LOCAL_NUMBER and the Fire Number used as the last 6 characters of the NIFMID_LNK.  DST asked for clarification, because one is a 6 character field that is zero filled and LOCAL_NUMBER is a local identification number that is an 8 character field.)
(Joe Frost gave this explanation.  This issue comes up all the time and it is confusing.  The NIFMID_LNK is the "smart key" used to link polygon data to the National Fire Statistics Database by using common information in both, the combination of AGENCY, Unit (region number), Sub-unit (forest number), FIRE_YEAR (discovery year), and Fire Number, provide a unique combination of values that will allow linking Polygon and Tabular data.  If you do not have this basic information for each polygon then it is likely the fire which the polygon represents was not a statistical fire occurrence for a federal agency.)
(Is the Fire Number the same as LOCAL_NUMBER?  For the most part yes, but not always, the LOCAL_NUMBER leaves room for more flexibility and is defined as character, which allows the use of alpha numeric combinations, so the LOCAL_NUMBER can contain more information like which unit (District (D1), Supervisors Office (SO), etc.) issued the number.  Ninety-eight percent of the time the LOCAL_NUMBER will match the Fire Number (I.E. local number SO-001 will equal fire number 000001)).
(All statistical fire occurrences that are entered into the National Statistics Database must have a Fire Number assigned by the reporting unit.  The LOCAL_NUMBER is not recorded in the National Fire Statistics Database and is for local use.  The inclusion of the LOCAL_NUMBER in the National Data Standard, as an optional item, was to facilitate local linking of the polygon information to local tabular data.  The LOCAL_NUMBER was requested by Region 8 because of the numbering system which they use on some units.)
(Shouldn't the fields be the same length requirement in NIFMID_LNK (6 places) and LOCAL_NUMBER (8 places)?  No, because there is only an assumed (not defined) relationship between the two fields.  The Fire Number used in the NIFMID_LNK must be numeric and is required in the Fire Statistics Database.  The LOCAL_NUMBER can contain a mix of alpha and numeric characters and is not required in the spatial data standard or in the Fire Statistics Database.)

REPORTED_ACRES - Acres reported are the final acreage, as reported, on the final Incident Command System Status Report 209.
(According to direction given to DST by Dale Guenther, where this field is blank, use GIS to calculate acres in the fire polygon cover.  The formula used was AREA multiplied by the acres conversion factor of 0.0002471054.)

SIZE_CLASS - Use coding as defined in the Fireline Handbook, FSH 5109.32a/NWCG Handbook 3 (PMS 410-1).  Value Description:  A is 0 to .25 Acres, B is .26 to 9.9 Acres, C is 10 to 99.9 Acres, D is 100 to 299.9 Acres, E is 300 to 999.9 Acres, F is 1000 to 4999.9 Acres and G is 5000+ Acres.
(According to direction given to DST by Dale Guenther, where this field is blank, use GIS to calculate SIZE_CLASS, using REPORTED_ACRES.)

AGENCY - Use coding found in Individual Fire Report Handbook FSH 5109.14, Form FS-5100-29.  Handbook definition for this field states, "Enter the letter code of the agency legally responsible to provide primary protection for the land on which the fire started."
(Because there was no code for DNR - Department of Natural Resources, and Oregon State Forestry, DST asked Dale Guenther for coding.  DST was instructed to "Please make a new field, label as State."  DST initially coded the State fires as DNR for Washington State fires and STA for Oregon fires.  DST revisited this coding issue and has learned that State fires in Oregon should most likely be coded ODF - Oregon Department of Forestry.  DST has asked Dale Guenther to make a determination if DNR and ODF are the best codes, and to add these codes to the GIS Core Data Dictionary.    DST received direction from Dale, on March 23, 2006, that ODF would be the appropriate acronym.  Dale said he would work with Joe Frost to get these changes added to the Data Dictionary.)

R6_FID - Unique Forest Identification Code.  This field is open for use by individual forests, which have a unique number, necessary to link Fire History data to local forest records.

THESE WERE THE EDIT/UPDATE PROCESS STEPS USED BY DST DURING THE 2007 MAJOR UPDATE CYCLE.

The Fire History, points and polygons, spatial data needs to link to the NIFMID database in Kansas City.  Currently only points are in the Kansas City NIFMID database, but the polygon spatial data should contain the same NIFMID_LNK, as the points for linking purposes between SDE and NIFMID.

THE FIRST STEP, was to quality check all updates to assure attribute data conforms to the data standards.   Verify, at minimum, all mandatory item fields contain data.  Those fields are NIFMID_CN, NIFMID_LNK, FIRE_NAME, FIRE_DAY, FIRE_MONTH, FIRE_YEAR, and DATA_SOURCE.  All updates will be in ALBERS, NAD83 projection and contain the standardized items as listed in the FS National GIS Data Dictionary for the INFO attribute tables as shown below.

NIFMID_LNK - where this field was null it was populated by concatenating the covers item fields, AGENCY, unit, subunit, FIRE_YEAR, and LOCAL_NUMBER.  If any of these item fields are null, they were zero filled.

FIRE_NAME - Where data was available each individual fire making up a "Fire Complex", the name of the complex was identified in the COMMENTS field of each fire involved in that complex with a comment like " XYZ Complex fire".   The word "Fire" was dropped from any fire name.  Where the FIRE_NAME was in all caps, mixed upper and lower case, or had many different symbols, this field was standardized.  All the fire names were put in proper case, and any symbols like  # &amp; " _ .  /  were removed from the fire name.  The only "symbol" allowed is a hyphen or dash.   Where FIRE_NAME was left blank, for fire perimeters, the field was populated with "Unknown".

FIRE_DAY - Where this field was not a two digit number, a preceding zero was added to the one digit number.  A Domain was created to set allowable values for attributes in this field.

FIRE_MONTH - Where this field was not a two digit number, a preceding zero was added to the one digit number.    A Domain was created to set allowable values for attributes in this field.

CAUSE - A Domain was created to set allowable values for attributes in this field.

REPORTED_ACRES - Where this field was blank, GIS was used to calculate acres using the fire polygons.  Where acres were 0.01 through 0.09 the zero preceding the decimal point was dropped (example: 0.01 changed to 0.1).  The formula used is AREA multiplied by the acres conversion factor of 0.0002471054.

SIZE_CLASS - Where this field was blank, used GIS to calculate SIZE_CLASS, using REPORTED_ACRES.  A Domain was created to set allowable values for attributes in this field.

AGENCY - Dale Guenther approved the code for Washington Department of Natural Resources as DNR, and Oregon Department of Forestry as ODF.  Dale said he would get these changes added to the Data Dictionary.  The codes used in the fire history points and polygon spatial data in SDE, are inclusive of all codes.  A Domain was created to set allowable values for attributes in this field.

R6_FID - This field is open for use by individual forests, which have a unique number, necessary to link Fire History data to local forest records.   IMPORTANT NOTE:  The item field UNIT needs to be added to the FireHistoryPl feature class in SDE.  Until this happens, the UNIT code is being held in the R6_FID field temporarily, where it did not contain any forest data.

A "template" geodatabase was created, of each forest, to load their data in.   This assured it was all in the standardized format, proper structure of the corporate feature data set, and also was to keep each forests updates separate to ease in the final update process to the existing data in SDE.

FIRST a File of the Database Structure was Created - From ArcCatalog, expand the Database Connections folder.  Make a connection to SDE in Portland Data Center. Find the feature data set S_R06.FireManagement, Right click on it and choose Export &gt; XML Workspace Document.  Select Schema Only under "What do you want to export:", fill in the location and file name under "Specify the output XML file:", uncheck "Export Metadata", select Next.  In the window under, "Choose which items you want to export", make sure only the Include box is checked for S_R06.FireHistoryPl and S_R06.FireHistoryPt, now click Finish.  Right click on the SDE connection you made earlier, and choose Disconnect. Expand the local C:\ drive file directory and navigate to where you created the .xml file, you should see the file you just created.  This file is used when creating the "empty template" geodatabase.

SECOND a Personal Geodatabase for Holding Updates was Created -  Right click on folder where Personal Geodatabase will be created, choose New &gt; Personal Geodatabase, rename geodatabase, (example: firehistory_update_FFF_YYYY.mdb, where FFF equals the forest's three letter abbreviation and YYYY the year the update is current to.  In cases where the forests have been combined, like OKA/WEN, it would be firehistory_update_FFF_FFF_YYYY.mdb.  If there are updates that span 2003-2006, the year entered would be 2006.)

Next, the structure of the database is added by importing the XML file created earlier.  Right click on personal geodatabase just created, choose Import &gt; XML Workspace Document, when Import XML Workspace Document window opens, leave Data checked and navigate to the .XML file created earlier, in the "Specify the XML source to import:" block, select Next and Finish.    Refresh folder containing the firehistory_update.mdb, expand the folder and the firehistory_update.mdb geodatabase.  There should now be a feature data set FireManagement, which contains two feature classes FireHistoryPl and FireHistoryPt.   This personal geodatabase is now ready to load data into.

Now there are additional Fields in the geodatabase, just created, they are listed below (these are the same fields currently found in SDE):

OBJECTID   (system field, do not edit)
SHAPE	     (system field, do not edit)
NIFMID_CN
NIFMID_LNK
FIRE_NAME
FIRE_DAY
FIRE_MONTH

NIFMID_LNK_OLD
SHAPE_Area   (POLYGONS only, system field, do not edit)
SHAPE_Length	(POLYGONS only, system field, do not edit)

The definitions for the additional fields are listed below.

DATA_SOURCE_TEXT - This field contains the same information as the DATA_SOURCE field in your spatial geodatabase or coverage.  During the data loading process you need to make sure the Matching Source Field for this item is changed to DATA_SOURCE.

UNIT - Enter the 4 digit number code for Region and Forest, or select from the list of allowable values.  A Domain was created to set allowable values for attributes in this field.

LINKFLAG - This field was created and populated to determine how well the FireHistory data linked with the NIFMID data in Kansas City.  Currently only the points have a LINKFLAG code.

REV_DATE - This is the date of feature creation or latest update, the proper date entry format is MM/DD/YYYY.  This is a required field .  DST entered either the date the update was received from the forest or the date DST made a change or addition if it was required as part of the standardization process.

DATA_SOURCE - This is a required field.   A Domain was created to set allowable values for attributes in this field.  Where the DATA_SOURCE_TEXT code was only GPS, the number code of 02 was used because there was no indication the data was corrected.  If no DATA_SOURCE_TEXT code was entered, or was not found in the Code Table, the number code of 24 was used.  All fields that have no DATA_SOURCE_TEXT should be coded as 24 - Other.

NIFMID_LNK_OLD - This field is a copy of the original NIFMID_LNK field, as it was created during the standardization process.  When it was determined the NIFMID_LNK did not make a link to the Kansas City data, the NIFMID_LNK field was either corrected or deleted.  This field is being kept to track when the NIFMID_LNK was changed, but will probably go away when it no longer serves any usefulness.  If any new entries were added this field was calculated the same as NIFMID_LNK.

Loading Data Into firehistory_updates.mdb Geodatabase - If updates are in a coverage right click on FireHistoryPl, if polygons, or FireHistoryPt, if points, select Load &gt; Load Data, the Simple Data Loader window opens, select Next, navigate to the update cover in the "Input data" block, from the "Open Geodatabase" window select the region feature class if polygons or select the point feature class if points, choose Open, select Add, once all covers are listed in the "List of source data to load" window, select Next, make sure "I do not want to load all features into a subtype." is checked, select Next.  In this window is a Target Field and Matching Source Field.  For each target field, select the source field that should be loaded into it.  Check through the list of fields making the following changes, opposite the Target Field for DATA_SOURCE_TEXT, click on &lt;None&gt; in the Matching Source Field and select DATA_SOURCE from the drop down list; opposite the Target Field for NIFMID_LNK_OLD, click on &lt;None&gt; in the Matching Source Field and select NIFMID_LNK from the drop down list; opposite the Target Field for DATA_SOURCE, in the Matching Source Field make sure &lt;None&gt; is selected from the drop down list.  Look through the Matching Source Field and if there are any with a &lt;None&gt;, check to be sure the same data may not be listed under a different Item or Field Name in the cover you're loading data from.  Once you're done checking all the fields, select Next, check "Load all of the source data", select Next then Finish.

Editing the New Fields in the firehistory_updates.mdb Geodatabase - Open ArcMap, add the feature classes data was just loaded in.  Open the attribute table of each feature class, make sure the new item fields are populated, by removing the &lt;Null&gt; value and entering the correct value for each field.  The new fields needing to be populated are UNIT, REV_DATE, and DATA_SOURCE.  Clear the &lt;Null&gt; value from the LINKFLAG field and anywhere else it may appear in the table.  Check to make sure the DATA_SOURCE_TEXT field populated correctly.  Make sure the COST field is populated where there were costs listed.  Updates are moved to a folder on the T drive, create a new ArcMap project, and add the updates to it.

Before Applying the Updates To SDE YOU MUST know which of the updates are going to make changes to EXISTING spatial data in SDE.  This SPATIAL data will need to be deleted from SDE BEFORE applying the updates.  If changes are just attribute changes, in SDE, DST made those edits to the SDE Version Copy.

LOGIN to CITRIX, Open ArcCatalog, then open ArcMap from within ArcCatalog.  This assures ArcCatalog and ArcMap are connected to the same server when they open.  When opening ArcMap, create a new ArcMap, add the Version copy of S_R06.FireManagement, from SDE, the one having the edits and updates applied to it, it should have edit access privileges granted to you.  All deletes, from the corporate data set in SDE, are completed first.  All data being replaced, changed or updated, in some way, is easiest to delete the old version from SDE and replace with the new version in an update.

Loading Updates into SDE, Version Copy of S_R06.FireManagement from ArcMap, on the Editor Toolbar, make sure the Task is "Create New Feature" and the Target is S_R06.FireHistoryPl (Pl for polygon or Pt for point), click on the Selection tab, from the Table of Contents tabs at the bottom.   Right click on the update layer, select "Make This The Only Selectable Layer", Right click on the update layer again and choose "Select All" (providing this update contains only updates otherwise you will need to make your selections).  The update layer should now be highlighted with bold text, followed by parentheses containing the number of selected features.  Click on Edit, from the Main Menu, and select Copy.  Click on Edit again and select Paste (you can also use the Copy and Paste icons from the Edit Toolbar).  Now you should see the Target layer is highlighted in bold text with the same number in parentheses after it as the update layer had, and the update layer is no longer highlighted.   Choose "Clear Selected Features" under Selection on the Main Menu or by right clicking on the target layer and selecting it from the drop down menu.  Continue in this manner until all updates are applied to the Version copy for editing.

Once all updates are applied to the Version copy, DST completed a QA/QC of the Version copy to assure all changes and updates were applied correctly.

DST then reviewed the metadata for each feature class and made sure metadata was updated where necessary to reflect the current state of the data set.
