An Online citation tool which will create a citation for ShareGeo for you is available. A guide to citing maps and data downloaded from Digimap is available here.
A guide to converting Digital Chart of the World (DCW) data from .e00 to Shapefiles is available. Any data converted using this guide should then be contributed back to ShareGeo.
A set of ESRI Layer Files for DCW has been produced which can be used to provide a basic representation of the data. Note that this is not intended to be an exact representation but merely to help to identify features.
