| Spatial reference |
| Projection: | Transverse Mercator |
| Datum: | Bessel |
| Longitude of central meridian | 15 |
| False northing | -22 |
| False easting | 0 |
| Scale factor at central meridian | 1.000000000 |
| Spatial reference notes: | The projection and co-ordinate system is that used by FINNCONSULT. |
| | Bessel 1841, parameters:a = 6377397.155, 1/f = 1./299.152813 |
| | These were generated into spatial data objects in ArcCad which takes the bottom left corner of the text item as its | Projection=Transverse Mercator (Gauss - Krueger) |
| | co-ordinate position. Whether this is indeed the correct position of the place represented by the text is not known. |

| Fields | Height_points.shp: Point objects representing elevation in metres above sea level. In addition, almost every object in |
| | the original Microstation data carried with it an elevation parameter. These were deleted from most of the attribute |
| Field name | Field description | files saved in ArcView, but are present in the roads.shp, pipelines.shp, fences.shp and oshana.shp data sets. | Field source/notes |
