ArcInfo coverage  

Definition

  • An ESRI ArcInfo coverage is a georelational data model that stores vector data – it contains both the spatial (location) and attribute (descriptive) data for geographic features. Coverages use a set of feature classes to represent geographic features. Each feature class stores a set of points, lines (arcs), polygons, or annotation (text). Coverages can have topology, which determines the relationships between features. A coverage is stored as a directory within which each feature class is stored as a set of files.
