Data quality

Lineage:

Photos are scanned and warped in GDS to coarsly georeference them to the underlying cadastre. 1995 aerial photography has been used to create a library of stored images. New images are being created from 1997 photograhy.

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:

Not Known

Logical Consistency:

Not Known

Completeness:

20% for 1995 coverage 0% for 1997 images.
