Data Attributes

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

Ferry Route Line

NAME (NAME) [String; Yes; 60] The name of the ferry service.

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]
This primary source used to determine the spatial location of a feature (For use in TOPO100K only;).

ATTRIBUTE RELIABILITY (ATTRIBUTERELIABILITY) [Date; Yes; 0; 0; 36]
The reliability date of the attribute object; Date to be adjusted only during attribute change or verification of an existing feature's item values 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 Attribute Verification.

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;
9999 / 9999

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.

UNIQUE FEATURE IDENTIFIER (UFI) [String; Yes; 10] Alphanumeric feature identifier defined for GEODATA SERIES 2 (For use in TOPO250K only;) (see Section 3 chapter 5.14)

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.

SYMBOL (SYMBOL) [Short Integer; No; 4] (Link to Symbol Dictionary)Symbol number/s applicable;

20
0 -Ferry Route Lines running too close to another Ferry Route Line to be shown.

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

Geodatabase Rules

At 1:100 000 Revision source material will be provided for ferry routes to be shown.

At 1:250 000 All feature occurances existing in the TOPO250K NTDB will be retained unless there is clear evidence they no longer exist. Revision source material will be provided for new ferry routes to be shown.

Where one Ferry Route Line crosses another Ferry Route Line a node will be shown at their intersection point. i.e. The arcs will be split.

Two or more Ferry Route Lines running closer that 1mm to scale, parallel to each other and carrying the same attributese will be shown/captured as a single feature (ie. Physically combined to form one section of Ferry Route Line) .Two or more Ferry Route Lines running closer than 1mm to scale, parallel to each other and carrying different attributes will be symbolised as a single line. In this case the additional Ferry Route Lines will have a symbol number 0.

Only operational ferry routes will be shown. Ferry routes not connected on both ends to either the road and/or rail network, must be greater than 3mm in length at map scale to be captured.

Trans- Tasman and other long distance Ferry routes will be shown.

Ferry routes that form part of the road network will connect to the road network.  

All ferry routes, including those not symbolised, are to be TextNoted ‘ferry’ if the word ferry or equivalent is not included in the name.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - Internal to Associated Dataset

Ferry Route Lines will have as their starting point the appropriate terminating point of Road or Railway features. That is, the end node of the Road/Railway will be a shared node used for the starting point of the Ferry Route. This is required to ensure network connectivity.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - External to Associated Dataset

Ferry Route Lines will have as their starting point the appropriate terminating point of Road or Railway features. That is, the end node of the Road/Railway will be a shared node used for the starting point of the Ferry Route. This is required to ensure network connectivity.

Ferry Route Lines will only appear over Watercourse Area, Lake, Reservoir and Sea. A vertex should exist in the polygon and its associated bounding line at the entry and exit location of the Ferry Route Line.  

Map Rules

Two or more Ferry Route Lines running closer than 1mm to scale, parallel to each other and carrying different attributes will both be labelled where they can be shown legibly.

All ferry routes, including those not symbolised, are to be labelled ‘ferry' if the word ferry or equivalent is not included in the name.

Where a Ferry route crosses the edge of the map a note will be placed along the route close to the edge giving the main destination eg ‘Sydney to Devonport.’
