This is a simple shapefile covering the Eastern CONUS. The file was created for ArcGIS 10(.1 Beta) Metadata testing. The fields are minimal (SHP_NAME, XMax, XMin, YMax, YMin) but the data underwent a simple transformation in order to see when ArcGIS incorporates the Geoprocessing information into its metadata. A shapefile is made up of at least four files: DBF, PRJ, SHP and SHX. Anything else is extra (SBN, SBX, XML).
This shapefile was created solely for testing ArcGIS Metadata creation and editing.

Bounding coordinates were populated by reprojecting the data within FME and then reprojected within ArcCatalog. This is just a test!!!
This is just a test dataset. There are no omissions.

This shapefile was used to locate the eastern US so as not to have a realistic polygon instead of a polygon in the middle of nowhere.
A polygon shapefile was created within ArcCatalog with a projection of UTM16. The file was added to a new ArcMap session. An edit session was started. US_DD was added. The projection of the map document was checked to make sure it was UTM16. A polygon was drawn over the eastern US. The edit session was closed. ArcMap was closed. Fields were added for the bounding coordinates and shapefile name. The shapefile name was automatically populated. The bounding coordinates were populated by taking the shapefile into FME. The resulting shapefile was reprojected from LL83 back to UTM16.

A four-cornered polygon with SHP_NAME, XMax, XMin, YMax, YMin and typical Esri fields.
None, although Esri has standards which can be researched through support.esri.com.
