Description

Abstract:

ACT NoWaste, a business unit within DUS is the custodian of the source data for waste disposal sites in the ACT. This layer depicts the location and extent of these sites. It has been created to the specification agreed to as a part of the GIM Strategy and included in the ACT Department of Urban Services Corporate Geographic Database (DUS CGD) created under that strategy. The CGD creates a fully homogeneous and integrated set of core geographic information which uses Oracle SDO. The CGD is a read only Oracle spatial database hosted in the ACT Government's production computing environment and is capable of being directly read by most GIS software. The CGD stores data in both the ACT Stromlo Projection and MGA94 projection for Zone55. This data set includes the following attributes: Waste_ID, Feature_name_Id, Name, Waste_Code, Waste_Text, ANZLIC_ID, Source_ANZLIC_ID, Feature_Type_Code, Create_Date, Area and Feature_Instance_Metadata_ID.

Access

Stored data format:
Digital: Oracle Spatial 9.2 using SDO with homogeneous spatial objects. Two versions exist, one in ACT Stromlo projection and one in MGA94 projection for Zone 55.
Available format type:
Digital: Direct read of Oracle spatial by common GIS software.
Digital: Oracle Spatial 9.2 export.
Digital: Any format capable of being translated by Safe Software's FME software.

Access constraints:

The Corporate Geographic Database has been compiled as a part of the ACT Geographic Information Management Strategy. Community access data sets in the database are available for internal use by agencies in the ACT Government, including presentation through ACT Government web sites. Use outside of this should be approved by the supplier of the source data (ACT NoWaste). This data set is classified as Community Access.


Data quality

Lineage:

The Waste table has been created from the Block table in the Corporate Geographic Database (CGD). This was then imported into a Shape file to enable some of the original attributes to be removed and others to be added. The result was then converted back to Oracle Spatial using an Arc Coverage import to FME. Further verification was performed at this stage.

Positional accuracy:

The spatial accuracy of the data set matches that of the Block layer in the CGD. Refer to ANZAC0236001012 for further details.

Attribute accuracy:

The attributes are assessed as being correct to the 95% confidence level.

Logical Consistency:

Refer to the metadata statement for the Block table in the CGD for details.

Completeness:

The data set is complete. NOTE: The attributes of Source_ANZLIC_ID, Feature_Type_Code and Feature_Attribute_Metadata_ID have not been populated.
