Data quality

Lineage:

The boundaries are defined to survey accuracy within PALM and this data is transfered to the databases.

Positional accuracy:

All data is held in ACT Co-ordinates which are planar co-ordinates based on a false origin at Mt Stromlo of 200000/600000. These co-ordinates can be converted into other formats if required.

Attribute accuracy:

This database has attribution showing time / date of creation or modification of each entity in the database. All entities will have at least an attribute of 1 July 1994 (the date of initial use of this attribute). Dates after this will indicate the actual time and date of creation of the entity in the database.

Logical Consistency:

The data is all spatially referenced to underlying cadastral and other data sets. All polygons close and there are no overlaps in the data. The database is not topologically structured.

Completeness:

The data is 100% complete
