Annotation

FEATURE TYPE (FEATURETYPE) [String; No; 32] The code which identifies the type of topographic feature represented

Annotation

ANNOTATION CLASS IDENTIFIER (ANNOTATIONCLASSID) [Long Integer; Yes; 10] This is the Annotation Class Identifier sourced from the GEODATA SERIES 2 unix arc info coverage format; The values in this field are not to be maintained.(For use in TOPO250K only)

ELEMENT (ELEMENT) [Blob; Yes; 0; 0; 2147483647] This Binary Large Object must contain the parameters required to correctly display annotation in the ESRI ARCMAP environment and Section 2 of these specifications.

MAP NUMBER (MAPNUMBER) [String; Yes; 8] The number that defines the map index to which the feature is related.
 

FEATURE CREATION DATE (CREATIONDATE) [Date; Yes; 0; 0; 36] Date of creation of feature in the database. This field will be entered/edited automatically by GEOSCIENCE AUSTRALIA.

FEATURE RETIREMENT DATE (RETIREMENTDATE) [Date;Yes; 0; 0; 36] Date of retirement of feature in the database.This field will be entered/edited automatically by GEOSCIENCE AUSTRALIA.

PERSISTENT IDENTIFIER (PID) [Long Integer; Yes; 8] This field will be entered/edited automatically by GEOSCIENCE AUSTRALIA.

DIDENTIFIER (DID) [Long Integer;Yes; 9] This is the Annotation Numeric Identifier sourced from the GEODATA SERIES 2 unix arc info coverage format; The values in this field are not to be maintained.(For use in TOPO250K only)

DSYMBOL (DSYMBOL) [Long Integer; Yes; 9] This is the Annotation numeric symbol designation sourced from the GEODATA SERIES 2 unix arc info coverage format; The values in this field are not to be maintained.(For use in TOPO250K only)

DLEVEL (DLEVEL) [Long Integer; Yes; 9] This is the Annotation Numeric Identifier sourced from the GEODATA SERIES 2 unix arc info coverage format; The values in this field are not to be maintained.(For use in TOPO250K only)

DSIZE (DSIZE) [Double; Yes; 18; 11] This is the Annotation size in metres sourced from the GEODATA SERIES 2 unix arc info coverage format; The values in this field are not to be maintained.(For use in TOPO250K only)

DTEXT (DTEXT) [String; Yes; 254] This is the Annotation Text sourced from the GEODATA SERIES 2 unix arc info coverage format; The values in this field are not to be maintained.(For use in TOPO250K only)

DOFFSETX (DOFFSETX) [Double; Yes; 18; 11] This is the Annotation x coordinate offset sourced from the GEODATA SERIES 2 unix arc info coverage format; The values in this field are not to be maintained.(For use in TOPO250K only)

DOFFSETY (DOFFSETY) [Double; Yes; 18; 11] This is the Annotation y coordinate offset sourced from the GEODATA SERIES 2 unix arc info coverage format; The values in this field are not to be maintained.(For use in TOPO250K only)

DJUSTIFY (DJUSTIFY) [String; Yes; 2] This is the Annotation alignment sourced from the GEODATA SERIES 2 unix arc info coverage format; The values in this field should be consistent with those held within the Element-Blob. See Geodatabase Rules for more information.(For use in TOPO250K only)

DFIT (DFIT) [String; Yes; 4] This field is sourced from the GEODATA SERIES 2 unix arc info coverage format; It designated whether annotation will be stretched between its spatial anchors. The values in this field are not to be maintained.(For use in TOPO250K only)

DALIGN (DALIGN) [String; Yes; 10] This is the Annotation Alignment sourced from the GEODATA SERIES 2 unix arc info coverage format; The values in this field are not to be maintained.(For use in TOPO250K only)

Type for large polygons and long linear features may be held in an annotation feature for each word to allow for spacing and differences in orientation, see Section 2 chapter 4.

Annotation should not contain any HTML tags within the blob element, nor should it contain any special characters.

Editing and placement of Annotation should be conducted in the appropriate MGA 1994 zone to ensure the spatial position of type on the map face can be correctly represented.

All annotation associated with road destination arrows must have the appropriate mapnumber populated.
