Abstract and Purpose for the dataset

Abstract The Transport & Topography dataset is underpinned by a road centreline layer of over two million kilometres of roads, together with more than 30 feature types within Transport, Hydrology and Greenspace themes.

Transport

The Transport component is the first theme of this dataset encompasing the roads, rail, rail stations and airport infrastructure networks across the entire nation of Australia. The rail and rail station layers depict the national rail network (including tram lines). The airports layer also includes landing grounds.
The Topography component of this dataset is made up of two themes - Hydrology and Greenspace.

Hydrology

Two layers of Hydrology are made up of water bodies, major rivers, minor waters and oceans.

Greenspace

The two Greenspace layers are urban parks plus national parks and other reserves.
--------------------------------------
Purpose The Transport and Topogaphy dataset is designed to meet the needs of organisations that require a graphical representation of road centre lines, and other transport and topological features on a broad scale, to integrate with other data in servicing their business needs. This graphical index of polygons, lines and points can be used to reference other geographic and land administrative data available from respective jurisdictions.
The roads data is used to reference many addresses in the G-NAF dataset.

Lineage and History Statement

Lineage The Transport andTopography dataset and their legal identifiers have been derived from the relevant bodies from each Australian State and Territory jurisdiction as well as the Commonwealth mapping agency.

The following procedures describe the development of the Transport Theme of the Transport & Topography dataset:
1. Source data from Contributors;
2. Convert to common format;
3. Convert to a common coordinate datum (lat/long GDA94) if required;
4. Correct spatial data topology errors and ensure national consistency; and
5. Perform Quality Assurance.
Quality Assurance processes within LYNX™ 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′s suite of national spatial datasets. It streamlines PSMA Australia′s data delivery. The LYNX environment provides the data release as downloads or on DVD.
Positional accuracy is dependant on the accuracy of data from the individual contributor data and this may vary considerably between and within jurisdiction boundaries.
