Source data history: Historical Exploration Licence boundaries as the basis for ERAs were sourced from the official Mining Register licence application documents. Licence boundaries are legally defined to follow lines of latitude and longitude.... Source data history: Historical Exploration Licence boundaries as the basis for ERAs were sourced from the official Mining Register licence application documents. Licence boundaries are legally defined to follow lines of latitude and longitude. The register has existed since 1930. Processing steps: Coordinates are entered from licence documents. Linework is cleaned to remove duplicate arcs. Data adjusted for accurate state border, coastline, areas reserved from the Mining Act and areas of no access for mineral exploration or production. Legal description is defined in AGD66 whilst data is spatially managed in GDA94 to conform to other spatial data. The data are updated in SARIG on a daily basis. Positional accuracy:Most boundary locations are constructed from lines of latitude and longitude, hence are scale independent. The accuracy of other boundaries is dependent upon the source, eg. state border, coastline, cadastre. Attribute accuracy:Associated attribute information is 99% complete and derived from a daily refresh of Tenement Management System (TMS) data extract. Manual validation checks are performed periodically. Logical consistency:The dataset contains no overshoots, undershoots or duplicate lines. All polygons contain only one label. Completeness:Spatial data is 100% complete. Associated attribute data is 100% complete and derived from Tenement Management System (TMS) data extract. |
