Data Attributes

FEATURE TYPE (FEATURETYPE) [String;Yes(No);32;0;0;Pop_Req] The code which identifies the type of topographic feature represented.

Production Index

TILE NUMBER (TILENUMBER) [String;Yes(No);8;0;0;Pop_Req] The geodata tile number assigned to the extent defined e.g. E5515, S9445;

REVISED DATE (REVISED) [Date;Yes;36;0;0;Pop_Aut] Date of creation or subsequent revision of the feature in the database. This field will be entered/edited automatically by GEOSCIENCE AUSTRALIA.

FEATURE TYPE (FEATURETYPE) [String;Yes(No);32;0;0;Pop_Req] The code which identifies the type of topographic feature represented.

Production Note

PRODUCTION FEATURE TYPE (PRODUCTIONFEATURETYPE) [String;Yes;32;0;0;Pop_Req] The feature type of the production feature in question.

PRODUCTION PID (PRODUCTIONPID) [Integer;Yes;0;8;0;Pop_Dep] The pid value of the production feature in question. If a PID value has been assigned to the production feature it must be populated in this field. If no PID value has been assigned to the production feature this item may be left blank.

PRODUCTION NUMBER (PRODUCTIONNUMBER) [Integer;Yes;0;8;0;Pop_Dep] A unique production assigned number assigned for cross reference purposes. Population of this item should only be conducted on direction by GEOSCIENCE AUSTRALIA.

PRODUCER (PRODUCER) [String;Yes;50;0;0;Pop_Req] The name of the company who is supplying information on production activities.

PRODUCTION COMMENTS (PRODUCTIONCOMMENTS) [String;Yes;1000;0;0;Pop_Req] A single/series of comments included to explain the reasoning behind a production activity.

Geodatabase Rules

General - All Scales

These should exist whenever either a justification or explanation is needed regarding why an action was conducted that is inconsistent with relevant Project Instructions or Specifications during the creation and/or revision of data within the NTDB.

An explanation is not required when what has been done is just standard procedure that should be obvious to all eg attributing a feature from its primary reference material. However if the source is obscure or non standard, or a subjective decision made which is in a grey area, then a note will be needed.

If reference is made to a large scale map or other source that VAT will not have ready access to, then an attachment showing the source needs to be included on the project file and referred to in the production note. The attachment should be clearly labelled in the top right corner with the attachment number, map (or other) name and edition. If the feature that is the subject of the production note is named it is beneficial to quote the name in the note to aid quick identification.

It is permissible to write a general production note covering many features, unless each feature needs for some reason to be specifically identified. When a production note refers to one feature that is composed of more than one arc, it is generally only necessary to write one note. Its can be placed centrally on the feature.

The note should contain all the necessary information, reasons and justifications to enable the reader to come to the same decision.

All Action Requests relevant to your work package should be referred to in the production notes.

Refer to Action Requests in production notes by just the NGIG number (eg A/R C7710) unless there is no NGIG number. In these cases obviously the producer number would be then quoted as such - A/R RFD2751.

An Action Request listing should be included in the project file and this listing should highlight both numbers for cross reference purposes.

Reference to attachments shown as such:- 'A landing ground was placed as per Mobilong 25k map Edn 2 (see attachment 21).
