Data Quality
Lineage:A merging of two disparate datasets (Alice Springs and Darwin) in March 2001. Converted from Microsoft Access 2002 to Access 2010 in 2012
Positional Accuracy:Within 200 metres for mineral core and 50 metres for petroleum core.
Attribute Accuracy:Medium to high depending on data entry constraints.
Logical Consistency:Undetermined
Completeness:Approximately 80% of data has location Eastings and Northings and Latitude and Longitude Decimal Degree coordinates. 98% of data have map sheet references. Approximately 60% of the data is considered complete with 40% containing unknown or missing values.
