In accordance with AS 4819:2003, the primary or officially recognised rural or urban address is referred to as the Principal. However, unofficial addresses also appear in G-NAF as aliases and these addresses are linked to the principal where the linkage could be derived through the validation process. </td></tr> <tr> <th></th> <td>The inclusion of aliases in G-NAF should not be seen as an endorsement of the use of unofficial addresses but as an aid to assist licensees in matching to their existing addresses databases. Only addresses that have a &#39;real&#39; physical location are included in G-NAF. For this reason, postal addresses and PO Boxes are not included. However due to the lack of rural address information in some states, roadside mail box (RMB) numbers, Lot numbers and Block &#38; Section numbers (South Australia) have been included until the rural addresses have been implemented, after which the RMB, Lot and Block &#38; Section numbers will be retained as aliases to the rural road numbers.</td></tr> <tr> <th>--------------------------------------</th></tr> <tr> <th>Purpose</th> <td>G-NAF is designed to meet the needs of organisations that require an authoritative address index for Australia that is linked to a coordinate or Geocode.

Some 15 significant organisations have and continue to contribute and support the initiative.<br />The G-NAF data contributors include:<br /> <br />1. The mapping agencies and land registries of each of the Commonwealth, state and territory governments;<br /> <br />2. Australia Post; and<br /> <br />3. The Electoral Council of Australia and the Australian Electoral Commission.<br /> <br /><br /> Data maintenance is carried out for PSMA Australia to enforce the data integrity (both spatial and aspatial). <br />During the maintenance phase, contributed addresses are analysed and compared to existing records in G-NAF. This analysis and comparison gives rise to new records being inserted and existing records being updated or retired. <br /> Quality Assurance processes within LYNX<sup>&#174;</sup> are used to check structural integrity of the data. LYNX is a cutting-edge data platform that has been developed to hold, quality assure and distribute PSMA Australia&#8242;s suite of national spatial datasets. It streamlines PSMA Australia&#8242;s data delivery. The LYNX environment provides the data release as downloads or on DVD.</td></tr> <tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <th>--------------------------------------</th></tr> <tr> <th>Jurisdictions</th> <td>Australia<br /> Australian Capital Territory<br /> New South Wales<br /> Northern Territory<br /> Queensland<br /> Tasmania<br /> Victoria<br /> Western Australia</td></tr> <tr> <th>--------------------------------------</th></tr> <tr> <th>Data Quality</th> <tr> <td></td> <td><table id="quality"></td> <tr> <td>Test Type 1:</td> <th>DQ_DomainConsistency</th></tr> <tr> <td>Specification:</td> <th>QA1 in LYNX</th></tr> <tr> <td>Specification Date:</td> <th>11/12/2011</th></tr> <tr> <td>Specification Edition</td> <th>unknown</th></tr> <tr> <td>Explanation:</td> <th>All entries are encompassed within the spatial and aspatial domains for this dataset..<br /></th></tr> <tr> <tr> <td>Pass?:</td> <th>TRUE<br /></th></tr> <tr> <td>==================</td> <td><br /></td></tr> <tr> <td>Test Type 2:</td> <th>DQ_FormatConsistency</th></tr> <tr> <td>Specification:</td> <th>QA1 in LYNX</th></tr> <tr> <td>Specification Date:</td> <th>11/12/2011</th></tr> <tr> <td>Specification Edition</td> <th>unknown</th></tr> <tr> <td>Explanation:</td> <th>All Spatial and Aspatial objects have the correct format for further processing.<br /></th></tr> <tr> <td>Pass?:</td> <th>TRUE<br /></th></tr> <td>==================</td> <td><br /></td></tr> <tr> <td>Test Type 3:</td> <th>DQ_TemporalValidity</th></tr> <tr> <td>Specification:</td> <th>QA1 in LYNX</th></tr> <tr> <td>Specification Date:</td> <th>11/12/2011</th></tr> <tr> <td>Specification Edition</td> <th>unknown</th></tr> <tr> <td>Explanation:</td> <th>All created and retired dates are complete and current for the release cycle.<br /></th></tr> <tr> <td>Pass?:</td> <th>TRUE<br /></th></tr> <tr> <td>==================</td> <td><br /></td></tr> </table></tr> <tr> <th>======================</th></tr> <tr> <th><p id="trhead">Key Words for Searching</p></th></tr> <tr> <th>Search Words</th> <td> <table id="key-words"> <td>BOUNDARIES-Address<br /> BOUNDARIES-Cultural<br /> BOUNDARIES</td> <td>Addresses<br /> Address Index<br /> </td></td> </table></tr> <tr> <th>======================</th></tr> <th><p id="trhead">Themes and Categories</p></th> <tr> <th>Topic Category</th> <td>boundaries</td></tr> <tr> <th>======================</th></tr> <tr> <th><p id="trhead">Status and Maintenance</p></th></tr> <tr> <th>Status</th> <td>onGoing</td></tr> <tr> <th>Maintenance and Update Frequency</th> <td>quarterly</td></tr> <tr> <th>Date of Next Update</th> <td>11/05/2012</td></tr> <tr> <th>======================</th></tr> <tr> <th><p id="trhead">Reference system</p></th></tr> <tr> <th>Reference System</th> <td>GDA94</td></tr> <tr> <th>======================</th></tr></tr> <tr> <th><p id="trhead">Spatial Representation Type</p></th></tr> <tr> <th>Spatial Representation Type</th> <td>vector</td></tr> <tr> <th>======================</th></tr> <tr> <th><p id="trhead">Schedule</p></th> <td>other</td></tr> <tr> <th>======================</th></tr> <tr> <th><p id="trhead">Metadata Security Restrictions</p></th></tr> <tr> <th>Classification</th> <td>unclassified</td></tr> <tr> <th>Authority</th> <td>PSMA Australia</td></tr> <tr> <th>Use Limitations</th> <td>none</td></tr> <tr> <th>======================</th></tr> <tr> <th><p id="trhead">Dataset Security Restrictions</p></th></tr> <tr> <th>Classification</th> <td>restricted</td></tr> <tr> <th>Authority</th> <td>PSMA Australia</td></tr> <tr> <th>Use Limitations</th> <td>Access and Usage Licensing</td></tr> <tr> <th>======================</th></tr> <tr> <th><p id="trhead">Dataset Access Constraints</p></th></tr> <tr> <th>Identifier</th> <td>license</td></tr> <tr> <th>Annotation</th> <td>License agreements allow access to the dataset via LYNX (for download or DVD).</td></tr> <tr> <th>======================</th></tr> <tr> <th><p id="trhead">Dataset Usage Constraints</p></th></tr> <tr> <th>Identifier</th> <td>license</td></tr> <tr> <th>Annotation</th> <td>Full and Embedded Licenses are available from PSMA Distribution Pty Ltd -
