Geodatabase Rules

General - All Scales

Includes features such as bays, inlets and coves. This feature type will be used for an indentation of the sea into the land and for the equivalent features in inland waterbodies.

The bay location will be positioned at a point in the sea or waterbody in the middle of the indentation (or centre of the bay).

For Upperscale assignment, selection of locations should be based on the equivalent scale previous edition hardcopy or digital topographic map taking into account any significant changes in a regions population growth or decline, underlying infrastructure or industry change which may impact the importance of an entities potential for recognition or landmark value (including history of area). In general, all localities of regional importance should be included at 1:25000, all localities of a state/territory importance should be included at 1:100000 and only localities of national importance should be assigned values of 1:250000 and greater (eg 1:5000000).

When a Bay is legitimate for map representation at a specified scale, it will be assigned symbol 2 (Point No Draw) and will be visually denoted by text only.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - Internal to Associated Dataset


Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - External to Associated Dataset

General - All Scales

In general, for each locality bay name, the associated location entity should only be captured once and positioned central to the feature. Large bays (eg 'Port Phillip Bay') which overlap 2 or more MapIndex250K sheets, will have the location entity placed in the bleed area of the overlapping sheets and only where this can not properly represent the whole bay may a duplicate be made.

A locality of the same code and name should not be repeated within the same MapIndex250K sheet unless it relates to a number of entities sharing the same name.

Geodatabase Rules

General - All Scales

No feature type field exists for this annotation feature class. The feature type has only been included throughout the specification documentation for ease of reference.

Only Annotation associated with, or derived from, entities in feature classes grouped within the Framework feature dataset should exist within the FrameworkAnno feature class.

Wherever possible annotation should be stored using the subclasses indicated under AnnotationClassID. Annotation stored as inline text should be kept to a minimum.

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.

Annotation should only occur where the associated feature either has a sufficient dimension size or Upperscale value to be shown at 1:100 000 scale or a smaller scale/larger extent (eg 1:250 000, 1:1 000 000)

No feature type field exists for this annotation feature class. The feature type has only been included throughout the specification documentation for ease of reference.

Only Annotation associated with, or derived from, entities in feature classes grouped within the Framework feature dataset should exist within the FrameworkAnno feature class.

Wherever possible annotation should be stored using the subclasses indicated under AnnotationClassID. Annotation stored as inline text should be kept to a minimum.

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.

Annotation should only occur where the associated feature either has a sufficient dimension size or Upperscale value to be shown at 1:250 000 scale or a smaller scale/larger extent (eg 1:1 000 000, 1:5 000 000)

The locality point will be placed approximately half way along the length of the gorge. The locality point will be coincident with a vertex on the main watercourse in the gorge, where there is a watercourse. Where there is no watercourse the locality point will be placed central to the gorge.

For Upperscale assignment, selection of locations should be based on the equivalent scale previous edition hardcopy or digital topographic map taking into account any significant changes in a regions population growth or decline, underlying infrastructure or industry change which may impact the importance of an entities potential for recognition or landmark value (including history of area). In general, all localities of regional importance should be included at 1:25000, all localities of a state/territory importance should be included at 1:100000 and only localities of national importance should be assigned values of 1:250000 and greater (eg 1:5000000).

When a Gorge is legitimate for map representation at a specified scale, it will be assigned symbol 2 (Point No Draw) and will be visually denoted by text only.

Where a locality gorge name refers to an extensive area the associated Location entity should only be captured once and positioned central to the feature.

A locality of the same code and name should not be repeated within the same MapIndex250K sheet unless it relates to a number of entities sharing the same name.

Geodatabase Rules

General - All Scales

This feature refers to offshore islands only.

Size and any other selection criteria apply to all feature occurrences. All feature occurrences existing in the base material/digital data or NTDB meeting the minimum size for inclusion will be retained unless there is clear evidence they no longer exist.

New features smaller than the minimum size for data capture will be captured as Offshore Rocks with a RELATIONSHIP of Bare.

For Island feature type SYMBOL100K and SYMBOL250K must not be NULL.

For SYMBOL 100K and SYMBOL250K, islands above the respective minimum size for map representation should be shown with a symbol polygon no draw (thereby being shown as clear space within the ocean). For Islands below the respective minimum size for map representation they should initially be given 'Island to Offshore Rock' symbology. Then these Islands below the respective minimum size for map representation should be reviewed for cartographic clutter (eg overlapping symbols, conflict with other marine information of higher cartographic importance such as lighthouses) and if required have their symbology altered to 'Perennial Water' to mask the existence of a rock at the assigned scale. When reviewing conflict of 'Island to Offshore Rock' symbology against Offshore Rock symbology from the marinehazardpoints feature class, 'Island to Offshore Rock' symbology should be given precedence due to its representation of a bigger land mass above the tidal line.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - Internal to Associated Dataset

General - All Scales

Islands are bounded by Junction, Shoreline and Limit of Data

Islands cannot overlap each other or other polygons in the Framework Dataset.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - External to Associated Dataset

General - All Scales

Islands may also be bounded by Sea wall features.

Map Rules

General - All Scales

The island name will appear on the map, where known.

Geodatabase Rules


Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - Internal to Associated Dataset

General - All Scales

FrameworkBoundaries (feature class) bound all polygons in the Framework Dataset except Large Area Features. For more information on the use of Junction See Section 3 Chapter 5.17.

Junctions will be included in the Framework Dataset where they form part of the coastline, and will replace the equivalent section of Shoreline. They will also appear in the Framework Dataset where they separate two Sea feature types.

Junctions within the framework dataset are generally 3 point lines except where their separate two sea polygons or where more vertices are needed to close the polygon and maintain the correct polygon closing line shape. See Section 3 Chapter 6.9.

Junctions are only used to separate water polygons where there is no physical feature already doing so. They are most commonly used to separate water polygon features with different names.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - External to Associated Dataset

General - All Scales

Junctions must be bordered by waterbodies in the Waterbodies Dataset or by the sea on one side in the Framework Dataset.

Includes features such as mountains, peaks and hills. The locality point will be positioned exactly as shown on the base material/digital data. If a positioning point is not shown on the map then other compilations or large scale maps may be used to position the locality feature at its true planimetric position.

Mountains will be named. See Section 2 chapter 5.10 for naming conventions.

If multiple peaks are confirmed to be associated with the same name, then each individual peak should be captured as a Mountain and attributed accordingly.

For Upperscale assignment, selection of locations should be based on the equivalent scale previous edition hardcopy or digital topographic map taking into account any significant changes in a regions population growth or decline, underlying infrastructure or industry change which may impact the importance of an entities potential for recognition or landmark value (including history of area). In general, all localities of regional importance should be included at 1:25000, all localities of a state/territory importance should be included at 1:100000 and only localities of national importance should be assigned values of 1:250000 and greater (eg 1:5000000).

General - All Scales

If a Mountain feature appears on the latest previous edition map with a name and spot identifier only and a matching spot elevation does not exist then the Mountain feature type will have a symbol code of 52 ( Spot Elevation or Mountain) , otherwise a symbol code of symbol 2 (Point No Draw).

Where there is a known elevation for the Mountain feature it will be cloned as a Spot elevation (see Spot elevation). Should the spot elevation need to be moved (see Section 3 chapter 6.6) the Mountain will be moved with it.

A locality of the same code and name should not be repeated within the same MapIndex250K sheet unless it relates to a number of entities sharing the same name eg 'The Three Brothers'.

Geodatabase Rules

General - All Scales

This category will be used to show localities that do not fall into any other category.

Where a Place Name point has previously been captured to represent a Large Area Feature (in the Framework Feature Dataset), it should not be retained within the NTDB.

The Locality point for area features, not associated with a Large Area Feature (Feature Type) in the Framework Dataset, will be located where the name was located in the base material/digital data or where text was placed on the latest previous edition map.

Text & the locality point for Indigenous Lands shown on Appendix O will be placed within the limits of the area. If the area on Appendix O occupies less than 20% of the area of the map (defined by the applicable Map Index) it will not be shown.

Suburb names included on the latest previous edition map and confirmed on the authorised revision source material for suburb names will be included as place names.

Indigenous sacred sites will not be named as sacred sites on the map even if named on a previous edition map, but the feature may be a lake, pool or waterhole in which case the appropriate map symbol and hydrological name will be used.

For Upperscale assignment, selection of locations should be based on the equivalent scale previous edition hardcopy or digital topographic map taking into account any significant changes in a regions population growth or decline, underlying infrastructure or industry change which may impact the importance of an entities potential for recognition or landmark value (including history of area). In general, all localities of regional importance should be included at 1:25000, all localities of a state/territory importance should be included at 1:100000 and only localities of national importance should be assigned values of 1:250000 and greater (eg 1:5000000).

In general, Place Names will use the Symbol 2 (Point No Draw). Two other symbols are legitimate in specific situations indicated in the paragraph below and in the Inter Feature Relationship Rules External to the Database.

Small features with an identifiable location that are not represented by another feature class will be represented using symbol 53 (e.g. historical markers, rocks, etc).

'Other Waters' indicated on Appendix E will not be shown as Place Names.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - Internal to Associated Dataset

General - All Scales

A Place Name (feature type) should not duplicate the representation of features already defined in the Large Area Features feature class.

For every unique Built Up Area name a corresponding feature must exist in either the Populated Place or Place Name feature types (dependant on population) of the same name. Only one Populated Place or Place Name feature type entity should exist to correlate to a Built Up Area which is broken into disconnected sections each with identical attributes.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - External to Associated Dataset

General - All Scales

Places with a population of less than 200 and a Built-up area not large enough to be shown as a polygon will be positioned coincident with a vertex or node on the road network. These places will have a symbol of 420. Note: symbol 420 will only be used where the place name is associated with a small built up area.

In general, for each locality place name, the associated location entity should only be captured once and positioned central to the feature. For place names which extend over a vast area (eg 'GREAT DIVIDING RANGE') overlapping 2 or more MapIndex250K sheets, will have the location entity placed in the bleed area of the overlapping sheets and only where this can not properly represent the whole area name may duplicates be made. (eg for the 'GREAT DIVIDING RANGE' a duplicate may need to occur in the northern bleed of every second MapIndex250K sheet.)

A locality of the same code and name should not be repeated within the same MapIndex250K sheet unless it relates to a number of entities sharing the same name.

For every unique Built Up Area name a corresponding feature must exist in either the Populated Place or Place Name feature types (dependant on population) of the same name. Only one Populated Place or Place Name feature type entity should exist to correlate to a Built Up Area which is broken into disconnected sections each with identical attributes.

Geodatabase Rules

General - All Scales

Only named inland islands and named islands which form part of the shoreline will be depicted. (See Section 3 6.9.7). The locality point will be placed on land at the approximate centre of the island. Offshore islands will be named as an attribute of the polygon, see Island.

For Upperscale assignment, selection of locations should be based on the equivalent scale previous edition hardcopy or digital topographic map taking into account any significant changes in a regions population growth or decline, underlying infrastructure or industry change which may impact the importance of an entities potential for recognition or landmark value (including history of area). In general, all localities of regional importance should be included at 1:25000, all localities of a state/territory importance should be included at 1:100000 and only localities of national importance should be assigned values of 1:250000 and greater (eg 1:5000000).

When a Waterbody Island is legitimate for map representation at a specified scale, it will be assigned symbol 2 (Point No Draw) and will be visually denoted by text only.
