It notes occasional exceptions to the general ANZLIC rule and occasional further requirements for the description of DIPNR datasets. Readers are referred to the ANZLIC Metadata Guidelines (v2 – February 2001), available at www.anzlic.org.au/publications.html for an expanded discussion of the elements and their related conventions and the ANZLIC scheme in general. IMF722_ANZLIC_Metadata_Help_sheet Page 5 of 21 DIPNR ANZLIC Metadata Help Sheet Page 0 Elements Data Title Definition A clear and unique name given to the dataset. The name given to the dataset by the custodial organisation. It should be easily understood by any general enquirer. Avoid use of acronyms except if it’s commonly know by that. Maximum length ( and Syntax) Length: 160 (80 for CANRI) Syntax: [Subject] of [Spatial Extent] [temporal extent end year] ([Acronym]) – [view] Further explanations see Appendix A. Example Groundwater Data of NSW 2000 (GDS) – Saline sites NOT: Saline sites in Groundwater Database Custodian Definition The organisation accountable for the dataset throughout it’s lifecycle. Maximum length ( and Syntax) Syntax: [Full legal name]([Acronym]) Example Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources (DIPNR) Jurisdiction Definition The country or State/Territory where the custodian is based. Maximum length ( and Syntax) Example New South Wales Description Abstract Definition A narrative summary (ie complete sentences) of the content of the dataset. The abstract should contain enough information to enable a general enquirer to determine the relevance of the dataset for their needs. Should describe the contents of the dataset for a non-expert user, in plain language. • Purpose of the data. The reason for collection (legislation reference if gazetted). This means the problem the dataset was created to answer, not project/program which funded collection You should put what system this is contained in. What data (major attributes) is covered in the dataset Textual description of the spatial extent Recommended scale of use Whether the dataset stands alone or if it is part of a ‘theme’ or integrated system. Other organisations (apart from the custodian) who have a vested interested in the dataset. Size of Dataset (number of records or number of points) Who created it (lineage) How it was funded How the data is available (this is covered in ‘Available format types’) Maximum length ( and Syntax) Length: 2000 (first 600 should contain relevant information for CANRI) Suggested Syntax: This dataset (or layer) shows/is …… The data was/is used … [purpose of data]. The dataset include ….[what is contains/attributes]. Was collected at Example Taken from ANZNS0125000005. This dataset is a survey of all weeds occurring on Trust Lands during 1996-97. 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. • • • • • • • Not to include: • • • IMF722_ANZLIC_Metadata_Help_sheet Page 6 of 21 DIPNR ANZLIC Metadata Help Sheet Search Word(s) Definition Words likely to be used by a non-expert to look for the data. The list is available in Appendix B. Maximum length ( and Syntax) Must be an ANZLIC search term. Example ATMOSPHERE Air Quality Geographic Extent Name(s), OR Geographic Extent Polygon(s) Definition Geographic Extent Name A list of pre defined geographic extents that reasonably indicate the spatial coverage of the data. The list is available in Appendix C. Geographic Extent Polygon An alternate way of describing geographic extent if no pre-defined area is satisfactory. Expresses as a closed set of coordinate pairs. • • Coordinates in GDA94. Longitude and latitude coordinates are given in decimal degrees (may be up to five decimal places) Complex extents of irregular polygons should not be described in great detail. A generalised or stylised polygon or minimum bounding rectangle should be provided. Interior polygon rings (doughnut polygons) cannot be described. A coordinate pair is specified as a longitude coordinate and latitude coordinate separated by aspace (x,y). Coordinates pairs will be separated by a comma. Negative coordinates will be signed, that is, have a leading negative prefix “-“ while positive coordinates will be unsigned. It is suggested that polygon coordinates should be specified in a clockwise order starting at the north-west vertex and proceeding around the polygon in a clockwise order. Must be to at least 2 decimal places Maximum length ( and Syntax) Must be an ANZLIC geographic category may up of category, jurisdiction and name.

Maximum length ( and Syntax) From list: (plus free text) Digital Non-digital Example Digital: Oracle Spatial, Available Format Definition A description of the format(s) in which the data are available to users. Maximum length ( and Syntax) From list: (plus free text) Digital Non-digital Example Digital: Oracle Spatial, Pdf, Non-digital: printed maps based on the Land Information Centre (LIC) 1:25000 topographic map. Data Quality Lineage Definition A brief history of the source and processing Maximum length ( and Syntax) Length: 4000 Example An aerial photographic survey, IMF722_ANZLIC_Metadata_Help_sheet Page 8 of 21 DIPNR 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) ANZLIC Metadata Help Sheet 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 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 Maximum length ( and Syntax) Length: 4000 Example 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 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. Maximum length ( and Syntax) Length: 4000 Example Attributes IMF722_ANZLIC_Metadata_Help_sheet Page 9 of 21 DIPNR ANZLIC Metadata Help Sheet Logical Consistency Definition A brief assessment of how well the logical relationships between items in the dataset, or spatial objects in the dataset, are maintained. How well does the data fit within it’s logical data structured rules. Attribute Logical consistency: entails the resting of two or more functionally related attributes. Where the value of one determines the value of the other Feature Logical consistency: tests feature to feature relationships are consistent to known rules. Maximum length ( and Syntax) Length: 4000 Example Feature logical consistency tested may be: Dryland Salinity must occur on land. Completeness Definition 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 Maximum length ( and Syntax) Length: 4000 Example Contact Information Contact Organisation Definition The business name of the organisation from which the dataset may be obtained. It need not be the same organisation as the “Custodian” data element.

Maximum length ( and Syntax) Version [enter number] Version date [format yyyy-mm-dd] Example IMF722_ANZLIC_Metadata_Help_sheet Page 13 of 21 DIPNR ANZLIC Metadata Help Sheet Checklist: Have you used sentence case for the record title, rather than title case. For example: Sentence case: Title case: My big dataset 2003 My Big Dataset 2003 Have you only used the following non alpha-numeric characters • round brackets () • Hyphen – • Commas , Ensure the name of the application/system or database is NOT the Dataset Title. Collection scale should NOT be in dataset title Lack of Jargon Terms not known to wider community have been avoided Short titles have been avoided Department/Agencies Name NOT in the title (unless it is their administration regions) ie. they are part of the subject • No Symbols such as • Ampersands (&) • Double Quotes (“) • Single quotes (‘) • Greater than or less (<>) • Percent (%) IMF722_ANZLIC_Metadata_Help_sheet Page 14 of 21 DIPNR ANZLIC Metadata Help Sheet Appendix A: Dataset Title The syntax for a dataset title is: [Subject] of [Spatial Extent] [temporal extent end year] ([Acronym]) – [view] The elements of this syntax are described as follows. 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. IMF722_ANZLIC_Metadata_Help_sheet Page 15 of 21 DIPNR ANZLIC Metadata Help Sheet Appendix B: ANZLIC Search words Definition of Element: Words likely to be used for searching by a person who does not necessarily have expertise in the subject matter being searched. The words are created from the user or searchers viewpoint not from that of the writer of the abstract or the Custodian of the dataset. Where a number of terms may be relevant to the content of the dataset, the most concise term should be used. When a dataset contains diverse information, multiple search words may be allocated.
