Section 3 - National Topographic Database Production Information
1. Scope of this document
This Section of the Technical Specifications documents a variety of topics relating to the correct capture and revision of real world entities, as data, for the population of TOPO100K and TOPO250K National Topographic Databases (NTDBs) as well as the 1:25 000 data capture program model. These topics include:
- the types of source material provided by Geoscience Australia to producers for the capture, revision and maintenance of TOPO100K and TOPO250K NTDBs as well as the 1:25 000 data capture program model. How this source material will be used, what producers will need to supply upon conversion of certain types of source material and how to communicate with Geoscience Australia when issues arise.
- defining the structure and structural rules of Geoscience Australia's TOPO100K and TOPO250K NTDBs as well as the 1:25 000 data capture program model.
- the cartographic principles which must be taken into account when capturing or maintaining data to allow easy production of the main map output of the databases (e.g. 1:250 000 and 1:100 000 National Topographic Map Series).
- Specific feature capture and attribution rules for the translation of real world features and in certain cases their relationship to the surrounding environment to the digital data representation.
- information on data and map submission requirements to Geoscience Australia from their producers.
The methodology process for both the updating and revision of the TOPO100K and TOPO250K National Topographic Databases (NTDBs) as well as the 1:25 000 data capture program model may vary in the future, at the discretion of Geoscience Australia.
2. General Information
The TOPO250K and TOPO100K NTDBs are managed by the Oracle Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) and ESRI's ArcSDE software, and contain the relevant data tables and indexes.
These NTDBs:
- are used for the revision and maintenance of topographic mapping data at 1:250 000 and 1:100 000 scales.
- are used to revise and generate the National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) maps and associated customised mapping products
- must comply with the standards and rules set out in Sections 1, 2 and 3 of this specification and in the Appendices. The only exception is when a project instruction is issued specifically allowing a variation.
The appendices to this specification include important descriptive information for the databases. In particular, appendices A and H should be referred to obtain a full understanding of the NTDBs. Appendix A is the feature type dictionary. Appendix H lists the range of paper sizes and geographic limits for adjusted (i.e. non-standard) map extents.

3. Revision
3.1 Revision sources
Information sources to allow revision of the features in the TOPO100K and TOPO250K NTDBs as well as the 1:25 000 data capture model may be supplied by Geoscience Australia. Whenever possible the revision information will be supplied on a "change only" basis, this is especially relevant to the TOPO250K NTDB i.e. following initial NMIG database review, those features subject to inclusion, change or deletion will be identified and will constitute the information supplied. Where this approach is not deemed to be either possible or practical, due to such factors as the quantum amount of change or complexity of errors, an overall "thematic" review of particular themes may be requested of the producer. In this instance, appropriate Base Material/Digital Data, Reference and Supporting Material to allow revision of the features in the TOPO100K and TOPO250K NTDBs as well as the 1:25 000 data capture model will be supplied by Geoscience Australia, and these sources should suffice. Where producers have access to other information sources, they may be used; however, approval must be obtained from Geoscience Australia before use. All changed features visible on the imagery or contained in the other supplied information sources and meeting the criteria established in the feature type dictionary (see Appendix A) will be captured in the databases.
Guidance on resolving conflict between sources is given in Section 3 Chapter 5.5 Priorities in Use of References, Map and Imagery. Where there is an unresolvable problem it should be referred to Geoscience Australia. Where use of the Reference Material creates an anomaly it should also be referred to Geoscience Australia. see Section 3 Chapter 3.4 Communication with Geoscience Australia in relation to data and map production
In instances where specific directives are contained in the Project Instructions or Action Requests issued by Geoscience Australia that take precedence over the Specifications, the Producer should provide a Production Note that references the source (i.e. Project Instruction or Action Request etc) and the subsequent change. These Production Notes should be populated in the ProductionNotePoints FeatureType in the Production Feature Dataset. see Section 3 Chapter 3.4 Communication with Geoscience Australia in relation to data and map production and Appendix A Production Note
3.2 Reference Material and Information Supplied by Geoscience Australia
3.2.1 Documentation
Documentation can be separated into two categories:
- Geoscience Australia's Topographic Data and Map Specifications:These Version 5 Specifications are used for the revision and maintenance of 1:25 000, 1:100 000 and 1:250 000 scale topographic data and to facilitate the production of revised topographic maps. The Specifications include such things as : Data model description, Data structure information, Glossary of terms, Mapping specifications, Data dictionary and feature cross reference, Map format sheets and Guides.
- Project Instructions Project Instructions are unique to each Work Package and outline to the Producer the specific requirements of the project. These instructions accompany GA Specifications and will take precedence where indicated. Details are provided on the extent of work, number of Work Units (WU), features to be revised, imagery to be used, VAT testing applied, feature revision instructions and deliverables. Where the project extent covers a non-standard area, several files may be provided to give all relevant information.

This file may include plots and Geodatabase (mdb) files indicating the changes that are required to be made. |
3.2.2 Base Material
Base Material/Digital Data refers to hardcopy material or digital data which Geoscience Australia has designated as the starting point on which producers build a new dataset and apply any appropriate revision. This includes entities such as the TOPO250K NTDB, TOPO100K NTDB, Digital Data derived from Geoscience Australia Stakeholders (e.g. State Mapping Authorities) as well as to a lessor extent reproduction material and latest previous edition maps produced by Geoscience Australia or Geoscience Australia Stakeholders (e.g. State Mapping Authorities).
In general, when no later information is available and an entity existing on the base material cannot be confirmed by imagery or a secondary source, the entity will be retained in the revised data with the attribution as shown on the designated base material.
Regardless of the spatial data integrity or quality of attribution of the designated base material, producers must ensure that the data submitted to Geoscience Australia (for Validation and Testing after revision, capture or maintenance activities) complies with all quality requirements and standards detailed in these specifications. The only exception is when Geoscience Australia has detailed an exemption within the project file.

3.2.3 Reference and Supporting Material
Reference Material refers to all the relevant sources of information which must be used to directly revise the position and/or attributes of features during revision. This information can be internal data maintained by Geoscience Australia or externally sourced. In exceptional circumstances where the use or application of certain designated reference material may result in an illogical outcome, a producer should highlight these issues to Geoscience Australia and request direction on how to proceed.
Reference Material can be separated into a variety of categories:
- GIS data
- Imagery
- Hard-copy publications
- Error/Correction Reports
- Printed maps
- Reproduction Material
Supporting Material is information provided as a guide for data capture and attribution that may not be part of the scope of revision. Supporting Material is not used to directly revise features. For example: Powerline data may be provided to aid in the interpretation of linear features so they are not mistakenly captured as other linear features such as roads.
When using Reference and Supporting material it is important to understand its quality, content, completeness and appropriate use, therefore metadata defining the supplied material should be referred to by Producers . All digital dataset supplied by Geoscience Australia will be accompanied by a 'Metadata Statement'.

3.4 Communication with Geoscience Australia in relation to data and map production
Action Requests and Production Notes are an important means of communication available to Producers when they wish to query specific project or feature instructions (Action Requests) or document specific action they have taken during the production phase (Production Notes).
These forms of communication are important in that they provide Geoscience Australia in general, and Validation And Testing Unit (VAT) in particular, a clearer and more complete picture of the issues addressed by the Producer. These documents can then be used in the assessment and validation of the submitted data etc. It is in the interest of the Producer to supply this documentation (where deemed necessary), so that VAT can take these issues and decisions into consideration, particularly where a specific course of action has been sanctioned by Geoscience Australia.
It is important that the Producer follows the guidelines below on the use of Action Requests, Production Notes and general communication.
Action Requests should be used to:
- Clarify any feature revision instructions within the Project Instructions.
- Highlight any major anomalies with features in the data not identified within the Project Instructions.
- Request further information not provided in the Project Instruction or Delivery record.
- Seek guidance on feature editing or revision when a decision or course of action cannot reasonably be determined from the information/instructions supplied.
Note: Action Requests submitted for this purpose should be used sparingly and only when unable to resolve the issue following investigation of supplied information.
- Inform Geoscience Australia of any issues with the data (e.g. quality/accessibility of data received, or notes on data generated and submitted by the Producer), or advice or explanation for any delays in delivery.
Important: Hard copies of Action Requests (with the response by Geoscience Australia) should be placed on the Project File at submission, and preferably in a chronological order. Where an Action Request response is generic and applicable to a number of different Work Packages, the Action Request should be copied by the Producer and placed on each respective individual Work Package file.
Production Notes should be used to:
- Detail any interpretation of features that require further explanation.
- Detail any alteration of features that link back to an action request response.
- Provide justification or explanation for any revision or actions carried out where they are inconsistent with relevant Project Instructions or Specifications.
Note: It will be assumed that the Project Instructions and relevant Specifications have been complied with, and Production Notes are only required to explain actions that deviate from them.
Production Notes should be created using the Production Note feature type within the Production Feature Dataset. For more information, refer to the Production Note feature type entry within Appendix A.
Action Requests should be created using the template supplied to producers by Geoscience Australia. This template is not part of the specifications but rather part of the general reference information provided to each contractor.
If instances arise where the Action Request/Production Notes system is not appropriate and the Producer feels it necessary to contact someone in Geoscience Australia, then please contact the Work Package Team Leader as your first point of call. The contact information for the Work Package Team Leader will be supplied within the project instructions.

4. The National Topographic Database Structure
This chapter is broken into 4 sub chapters, namely 'Structure Overview', 'Domains', 'Subtype Defaults' and 'Related Tables' .
The first sub chapter 'Structure Overview' documents the Feature Datasets, Feature Classes, Feature Types and their associated attributes for the TOPO100K and TOPO250K NTDBs as well as 1:25 000 data capture model. It also highlights what items from the TOPO100K and TOPO250K NTDBs are utilised for the associated standard data products released to the public (TOPO100K GEODATA LITE and TOPO250K GEODATA respectively).
The Second sub chapter 'Domains' documents the rational behind the use of domains within the TOPO100K and TOPO250K NTDBs as well as 1:25 000 data capture model. It also provides information on the definition of all of the domains used in each model.
The Third sub chapter 'Subtype Defaults' documents all the subtype defaults which exist in the TOPO100K and TOPO250K NTDBs as well as 1:25 000 data capture model. It also provides information on the recommended method of utilising these defaults.
The fourth and final sub chapter 'Related Tables' documents the use and definition of related tables in the TOPO100K and TOPO250K NTDBs as well as 1:25 000 data capture model.
4.1 Structure Overview
The following lists every Feature Dataset, Feature Class, their associated Feature Types, attribute fields and Spatial Object. The attributes are listed in the order required for the TOPO100K and TOPO250K NTDBs as well as 1:25 000 data capture model.
The associated attributes used in the TOPO100K GEODATA LITE and TOPO250K GEODATA products are also highlighted to allow producers to clearly see, when altering an attribute, what impact that alteration will have on the data being released to the public.
Those Attribute Fields appropriate to a specific data Scale and Model are highlighted using a star symbol, in the appropriate columns as defined below:
- 25K Prdn - 1:25 000 Data Capture Model
- 100K Prdn - TOPO100K Production Geodatabase
- 100K GLite - TOPO100K Distribution Geodatabase (GEODATA Lite)
- 250K Prdn - TOPO250K Production Geodatabase
- 250K GEOD - TOPO250K Production Geodatabase (GEODATA)
When no attribute fields have been highlighted for a particular feature class, this means that feature class does not exist within the specified model.
All Database Structure is sorted by feature dataset and then internally by geometry type and then feature class in alphabetic order.
Open the Data Structure in a new window:
These specifications and the associated table below represents the Production geodatabase schema, using the names of feature datasets, feature classes, and feature types and associated attributes as termed in the production environment. This schema differs in structure and precision to the Distribution geodatabase schema supplied by Geoscience Australia to the public via on-line downloads and packaged products. A distribution schema to production schema cross reference, as well as a production schema to distribution schema cross reference is provided to assist in translation by users. This cross reference details both the TOPO250K GEODATA product and the future TOPO100K Geodata Lite product distribution schemas against the production schema.
[back to top]
4.2 Domains
Domains have been established on both the TOPO100K NTDB and the 1:25 000 data capture model. They have not been implemented into the TOPO250K NTDB but this will occur in the future. Domains are dropped as part of the translation from the production models to the distribution schemas of TOPO100K GEODATA LITE and TOPO250K GEODATA.
Domains throughout the specifications will be referred by their generic name (e.g.dm_UpperScale), however when used in each scale model a suffix of the scale definition will be added to the generic name to differentiate the domain when in the SDE environment. For example in TOPO100K production model the dm_Upperscale domain will be named dm_Upperscale100K but in the 1:25 000 data capture model it would be named dm_Upperscale25K.
Domains have been implemented into the Data Structure to provide a means to limit and standarise the range of values which are acceptable to specific item field. This assists in controlling the quality of data attribution and should provide confidence to both producers and Geoscience Australia that minor errors such as spelling mistakes and spacing errors do not occur for those fields which have domains established.
Geoscience Australia has chosen that a domain code and its associated value will be identical. This has been established to minimise difficulties in the importing and exporting of data and when model upgrades occur. In addition, the translation of the data from the production to distribution model is simplified. Most domains in the TOPO100K NTDB and the 1:25 000 data capture model are textual in nature, providing producers and users of the database a more innate grasp of the concept a particular domain code may be representing than a representative numeric value.
Domains have only been established on items which are considered stable and limited in acceptable values. For example a name field with an infinite set of possible values is not appropriate to utilise domains however the road formation items with only 4 acceptable values of 'Sealed', 'Unsealed', 'Unknown' and 'Under Construction' is suitable.
Domains have been established both at the feature class level and at the subtype level as appropriate. Certain subtypes within a feature class may vary in the need to populate certain items and in these cases the domain will only be assigned to the subtypes which require the item to be attributed.
A complete list of Domain and their definition/content can be found in 'Appendix X - Listing of Domain Tables and Definitions'. The table below lists the domains which occur under each feature class. Those Domains appropriate to a specific data Scale and Model are highlighted using a star symbol, in the appropriate columns as defined below:
- 25K Prdn - 1:25 000 Data Capture Model
- 100K Prdn - TOPO100K Production Geodatabase
Each domain entry in the table below is hyperlinked directly to its domain definition in
'Appendix X - Listing of Domain Tables and Definitions'.

4.3 Subtype Defaults
Subtype Default values have been established on both the TOPO100K NTDB and the 1:25 000 data capture model. They have not been implemented into the TOPO250K NTDB but this will occur in the future. Subtype Default values are dropped as part of the translation from the production models to the distribution schemas of TOPO100K GEODATA LITE and TOPO250K GEODATA.
Subtype Default values have been implemented into the Data Structure to provide assistance to producers in populating fields, which when a subtype is assigned, only has a single valid entry. This assists in controlling the quality of data attribution and should increase the efficiency of attributing a feature. It will also assist in preventing minor errors such as spelling mistakes and spacing errors when the subtype default controls are utilised.
The main two attribute fields populated via subtype defaults are 'FEATURETYPE' and 'SYMBOL'. It is recommended that when first capturing a feature it is assigned a subtype simultaneously, this will allow all default values to be populated prior to a producer assigning the remaining values. Resetting a subtype to the same value will generally not reset the default values but this is not guaranteed. When changing a features subtype the default values will also change, replacing any values held in that field.
The table below lists the Subtype Defaults which occur under each feature class. All subtype defaults apply to both the TOPO100K NTDB and the 1:25 000 data capture model.
