FEATURE RELIABILITY DATE (FEATURERELIABILITY) [Date; Yes; 0; 0; 36]
The reliability date of the spatial object; Date to be adjusted only during spatial change or verification of an existing feature location or the capture of a new feature (see Section 1 Chapter 3.6);

Most Recent Reliability Date of Revision Source Material (or Base Material/digitial data for inital capture) used for Spatial Verification

FEATURE SOURCE (FEATURESOURCE) [String; Yes; 50]

ATTRIBUTE SOURCE (ATTRIBUTESOURCE) [String; Yes; 50]
The primary source used to populate the attribute fields of a feature (For use in TOPO100K only;).

PLANIMETRIC ACCURACY (PLANIMETRICACCURACY) [Short Integer; No; 4] The standard deviation of the horizontal positional accuracy.The default value, when not specified in project instructions, will be as follows;
100 / 40

DATA SOURCE (SOURCE) [String; No; 50] This is the official name of the agency that originally captured the spatial object for the TOPO250K NTDB (For use in TOPO250K only) ; The default value when unknown or not specified in project instructions will be GEOSCIENCE AUSTRALIA.

TEXT NOTE (TEXTNOTE) [String; Yes; 50] Descriptive note to appear on map.

Geodatabase Rules

Only caves shown on the base material/digital data or the latest previous edition map (if provided) will be shown.

This feature will be used to represent the location of an individual cave as well as groups of caves.

Caves will be named where they were named on the base material/digital data or the latest previous edition map.

All caves are to have an accompanying TextNote 'cave', ‘sinkhole’, etc. unless the word ‘cave’, ‘sinkhole’, etc. is included in the name.  

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - Internal to Associated Dataset

 

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - External to Associated Dataset

Named caves will be cloned as Place Name in the locations feature class. 

Caves cannot fall within the following polygons;
Lake, Reservoir, Watercourse Area, Canal Area, Building Area, Reef, Shoal, Foreshore Flat.  

Map Rules

Caves will be named where they were named in the NTDB.

All caves are to have an accompanying descriptive note 'cave', ‘sinkhole’, etc. unless the word ‘cave’, ‘sinkhole’, etc. is included in the name.
