Data quality

Lineage:

Dataset generated from Oracle database authority table for 1:100 000 Maps within Arcinfo. Items featue and ufi were added

to complete QA/QC.

Positional accuracy:

Nominal Scale 1:100,000

The positional accuracy is high as the dataset was generated within Arcinfo GIS software package.

Attribute accuracy:

High as attributes are derived from an existing ORACLE authority table.

Logical Consistency:

Tests are also carried out on these data for data completeness, correct spatial representation, attribute accuracy, logical consistency and correctness, and where appropriate for compliance with Geoscience Australia's GIS data dictionary.

Completeness:

The dataset coverage is complete for the whole of continental Australia.
