Description

Abstract:

This is a spatial dataset and map that describes the Land Capability over the Coomalie Shire, an area of approximately 1,503km2. The mapped polygons describe both landform and drainage patterns and is derived from a compilation of nine land resource surveys at a scale of 1:25,000. (refer to Supplementary Information)

Data Quality

Lineage:The map unit boundaries were derived from a number of land resource surveys at similar scales.
Map unit boundaries delineated from aerial photographs. Aerial photography scanned and rectified. Linework digitised on screen directly from original aerial photographs.
Map unit boundaries derived using aerial photography and digital satellite imagery, geological and topographic data. Field data (site information) described and classified according to national standards at the time of capture.

Positional Accuracy:Polygon Data
Map unit boundaries digitised on screen directly from digital rectified aerial photographs. Level of accuracy depends on the number of control points on individual aerial photographs. Control points include creek lines, cadastre and other topographic features. Depending on the nature of the landscape (the number of control points), positional accuracy may vary. Positional accuracy generally considered high to very high.

Attribute Accuracy:Attributes assigned according to the dominant feature. For example; where ten sites have been grouped to describe a particular map unit and two different soils describe these sites, then the dominant soil is chosen.

Logical Consistency:GIS editing tools were used to rectify all overshoots and undershoots in linework. Using ESRI ArcInfo, topological consistency checks were performed to detect flaws in the spatial data structure.
The coverage was cleaned to eliminate any duplicate arcs and built for arcs and polygon topologies. A label errors routine was run to detect unlabelled polygons and also to locate any identical neighbouring mapunit labels. A node errors routine was run to identify any pseudo nodes and dangles.
The checks ensure that all polygons are closed, nodes are formed at intersections of lines and that each polygon has only one label.

Completeness:Complete
