The data was used to develop and implement a weed management program for the Centennial Parklands. The layers covered include the following noxious weed species infestations: bitou bush, blackberries, caster oil plant, green cestrum, lantana, pampus grass, and pellitory. An infestation rating of high, medium and low was applied for each species. A further 20 environmental weeds were also assessed.

Data Quality Lineage Definition Maximum length ( and Syntax) Example A brief history of the source and processing Length: 4000 An aerial photographic survey, DIPNR ANZLIC Metadata Help Sheet steps used to produce the data. Can be taken from the collection plan. Lineage may also include details of scale or accuracy. Source data generally includes a description, scale, media types and dates. Processing steps should include method of data capture. As a last resort you can use: Not Known, Not Documented or Not Relevant if no information is available. (Note: if these are used the metadata coordinator will double check before the record is accepted into Met-Online) carried out in 1981 and wetland boundaries were identified from the aerial photos on a botanical basis, using their vegetation features. They were delineated using stereoscopic interpretation (at up to 7 times magnification) of 1:25000 aerial photos. As the photographic scale closely approximated the 1:25000 scale of the LIC topographic map series, the transfer from photograph to map was carried out at close to one time magnification with minimum distortion. For a number of key areas, the photographic interpretations were checked and verified by inspections on the ground. The coastal wetland maps compilation was finished in 1984, and they are amended approximately every 12 months. A major aerial photo re-survey of the coastal area was carried out by LIC in 1986, and subsequently the wetland boundaries were then updated. The compiled maps were hand digitised using Genamap GIS software. The digitising accuracy is estimated to be 0.5 mtr on the 1:25000 maps. The wetlands polygons are labelled with numbers allocated in a sequential order from north to south between the Queensland border and the Hawkesbury River, and south to north from the Victorian border to Wollongong. Positional Accuracy Definition Maximum length ( and Syntax) Example A brief assessment of the closeness of the location of spatial objects in the data in relation to their true position on the Earth. An explanation on how to work this out is available as part of the Quality Plan Guideline. Use Not Known, Not Documented or Not Relevant if no information is available Length: 4000 Precision: 10m to 100m Determination: Deductive estimate. Ad-hoc comparisons with 1:25,000 layer data and various sorts of imagery indicated good correlation in terms of shape and size but with errors of the order indicated above in terms of position and/or rotation. When resources permit, the 1:25,000 library hydrology and roads layers should be used to identify layer inconsistencies which may indicate specific wetlands which require translation, rotation or boundary modifications. Attribute Accuracy Definition Maximum length ( and Syntax) Example A brief assessment of the reliability assigned to features in the data in relation to their real world values. This element should include a list of attributes and information on the accuracy of each. Length: 4000 Attributes IMF722_ANZLIC_Metadata_Help_sheet Page 9 of 21 DIPNR ANZLIC Metadata Help Sheet IMF722_ANZLIC_Metadata_Help_sheet Page 10 of 21 Logical Consistency Definition Maximum length ( and Syntax) Example A brief assessment of how well the logical relationships between items in the dataset, or spatial objects in the dataset, are maintained.

Where the value of one determines the value of the other Feature Logical consistency: tests feature to feature relationships are consistent to known rules. Length: 4000 Feature logical consistency tested may be: Dryland Salinity must occur on land. Completeness Definition Maximum length ( and Syntax) Example A brief assessment of the completeness of coverage, classification and verification. Completeness of spatial coverage tests expected spatial coverage against actual coverage either as areas missed or stations covered Completeness of temporal coverage is for time series data when there are gaps in the time recordings Completeness of classification examines how exhaustive is the classification system and are there generalisations Completeness of verification examines the verification method for the data Completeness of attribution examines if each record is complete Length: 4000 Contact Information Contact Organisation Definition Maximum length ( and Syntax) Example The business name of the organisation from which the dataset may be obtained.

Subject: is a phrase describing what the data is. Such as Groundwater Data or Salinity Hazard Map. Spatial Extent: is the area the dataset covers. This should be a town, region, NSW or Australia. This is also the full extent of the dataset. If only part of the dataset is shown this needs to be conveyed in the ‘view’ section. Temporal extent: This is a date. This section is only put in if the dataset is not current. (currently maintained). It should be [Year beginning] ‘-‘ [Year end] If it’s the same year, or space is short, you just put it once. So 2002 not 2002 – 2002. Acronym: Optional, if the dataset is commonly know by the Database it’s in or a project or piece of legislation. Eg SEPP14, RIIS View: A view is a subset or refinement of the data. A view may be only looking at one of the attributes of the data or a limited spatial extent. Exception for space: Although the Dataset is: Digital topology of NSW (DTDB) And the layer is State Electoral Boundary Is displayed as State Electoral Boundary Layer of NSW As opposed to Digital topology of NSW (DTDB) -State Electoral Boundary Layer If the subject matter is a map then state is as Vegetation Clearance Map of NSW.
