Open File Report 97-470F is one of a series of continental-
scale geologic maps of the world being published on
CD-ROM by the U.S. Geological Survey's World Energy Project.
Online_Linkage: http://energy.cr.usgs.gov/energy/WorldEnergy/WEnergy.html
Description:
Abstract:
This coverage includes arcs, polygons, and polygon
labels that describe the generalized geologic age and
rock type of surface outcrops of bedrock of the Australia
and New Zealand area (Australia, Fiji, New Caledonia,
New Zealand, Tonga and Vanuatu; and portions of Indonesia,
Papua New New Guinea and Solomon Islands). It also includes
shorelines and inland water bodies.
Purpose:
To delineate geologic province boundaries in Open File Report 97-470F
Maps Showing Geology, Geologic Provinces, and Oil and Gas Fields
of the Asia Pacific Region; Plate 3: Australia and New Zealand,
which is being compiled as a reference for the U.S. Geological
Survey's World Energy Project assessment of undiscovered,
technically recoverable oil and gas resources of the world.
This is used in an ArcExplorer project.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
All the attributes other than standard Arc/Info attributes
are of character type.
1. Attribute item "GLG" is abstracted from fill colors and
labels on AGSO and GNS source maps denoting geologic age of
surficial outcrops. Rock units whose age is divided within a
geologic age on the map are attributed as undivided.
For instance, units labeled "Qr" and "Qp", are attributed as
"Q". Units labeled as "Tu", "Tp" (Pliocene) and "Tm" (Miocene)
are attribute as "N" (Neogene). Units labeled as "Tl", "To"
(Oligocene) and "Te" (Eocene) are attributed as "Pg"
(Paleogene). Units spanning Neogene and Paleogene are
attributed as "T". Units colored as igneous rock of
undetermined age are attributed as "und". Areas colored as
surface water bodies and ocean are attributed as "H2O".
Unmapped areas without color are attributed as "oth". Units
denoted as uncertain with a question mark on the original maps
are attributed without comment. Units that have dual values
indicating surficial geologic age and subsurface geologic age
are attributed with surficial geologic age. To conform with
the convention used on the rest of the Asia Pacific Region,
areas labeled "CZ" are attributed as "TQ", although in the
generalized geologic age item they are returned to "Cz".
Where there are disagreements on the original maps between
the label and the fill color, or where printing errors occur,
the preference is given to the label in attributing the unit.
In some cases, a judgement is made according to the inferred
geologic trend. Definitions for the values are found below in
the entity and attribute information section.
Areas indicated as ephemeral lakes are ignored.
2. Attribute item "TYPE" is abstracted from labels and fill
patterns on the AGSO and GNS source maps. Because the
emphasis of this database is on oil and gas resources, igneous
rocks are generalized. Acid, intermediate and basic volcanic
rocks are attributed as volcanic. Acid, intermediate and
basic intrusive igneous rocks are attributed as intrusive.
Ophiolites and ultra basic rocks are attributed as a general
class, ophiolites and ultrabasic.
The AGSO and GNS source map legends do not differentiate
sedimentary from metamorphic rocks.
3. Attribute item "GEN_GLG" is calculated from the item "GLG".
In those cases where the age of units span more than one
geologic age the AGSO and GNS practice of placing the older
age before the more recent age is reversed to adhere to the
USGS practice of placing the more recent age first. For instance,
"KT" becomes "TK". Units whose age span more than one age
are attributed by the era. For example, "CmD" becomes "Pz".
4. Standard verification of attribute reliability is performed
with the Arc/Info command labelerrors to find polygons without
assigned character value or with more than one value.
5. Plots are created of the coverage, colored by item "GEN_GLG"
and labeled by item "GLG" at the same scale, projection and
map extent of each of the AGSO and GNS source maps for the
purposes of review and examination. Review is conducted by
persons not involved in the compilation. The entire set of maps
is examined with a polygon to polygon search for errors.
6. The plots are also examined by the compiler by sampling
2 degree by 2 degree areas, yielding a deductive estimate of
greater than 99 percent fidelity to AGSO and GNS source maps
of items "GLG" and "TYPE", and, by extension, "GEN_GLG".
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Polygon topology. Each polygon has one unique label
point with unique id, there are no dangles. Polygons
are bounded at perimeter of extent, including areas
attributed as water and where geologic age is not shown.
The coverage has been topologically cleaned and built in
Arc/Info 7.1.2.
Completeness_Report:
An informal threshold of 1500 meters of width or length is
used in digitizing features from the source maps. This
threshold is not uniformly applied. Geologic ages indicated
on the source maps as uncertain or questionable are
attributed without comment. Ages that are divided on the
original maps are attributed as undivided. For example:
two adjacent polygons of Lower and Middle Cretaceous age are
digitized and attributed as one polygon of Cretaceous age.
Some unusual age classifications are attributed in a more
generalized or standard manner. For instance: Upper Permian
through Tertiary is attributed as Cenozoic/Mesozoic,
Carboniferous through Triassic is attributed as
Mesozoic/Paleozoic, and Upper Triassic through Lower Cretaceous
as Mesozoic. Acid, Intermediate and Basic igneous rocks are
not differentiated and are attributed as either intrusive or
extrusive igneous rocks. Areas indicated on the map as either
Ultrabasic or Ophiolitic are classed together as Ultrabasic
or Ophiolite. Ephemeral lakes indicated in Australia are not
digitized or attributed.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The AGSO and GNS source maps are scanned as gray-scale images
and the images are registered and rectified in Arc/Info 7.11.
The latitude and longitude graticules of the source maps
agree closely with calculated graticules created with the
Arc/Info generate and project commands. Relatively small RMS
errors are achieved in registering the images. No rubbersheeting
is perfomed. Discrepancies in compilation are found between
the source maps and the ESRI Arcworld shorelines. There is
no systematic difference between the two sources, and neither
is consistently more detailed or more generalized than the
other. (ESRI Arcworld is chosen as a standard because it is
widely accepted and available.) Shorelines are generalized
from the ESRI source and polygons of geologic age are extended
or truncated to match. Overlaying plots of this coverage,
corresponding to the source maps in scale, projection and map
extent, on a light table shows a variable offset around the
coastlines ranging from 0 to 1 mm (5 km).
The following describe the tolerances
1. Original geologic maps are of 500 meter maximum accuracy
(0.1mm at 5,000,000 scale)
2. Scanned gray-scale images are of 200 dot/inch resolution
(0.13 mm on paper map)
3. Scanned images are registered and rectified with an
average RMS error of 270 meters. (0.05 mm on paper map)
4. Fuzzy tolerance is set at 500 meters (0.71 pixel)
and weed tolerance is set at 250 meters (0.31 pixel)

Used as a guide to generalize coastlines and verify island
locations
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Source maps are scanned as gray-scale tiff images. A coverage of
lines of latitude and longitude is generated and projected to match
the projection of each map sheet in turn. The gray-scale images are
registered with the the lines of latitude and longitude, projected
to the source map's projection in Arc/Info, with an average RMS error
of 260 meters. The registered tiff images are then rectified in Arc/Info.
Process_Date: 19981020
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Using the gray-scale tiff images as a backdrop guide, arcs and polygon
labels are digitized on screen with a fuzzy tolerance of 500 meters
and a weed tolerance of 250 meters. Features with a width or length
less than 1000 meters are not captured. Working from the West, the
coverage is projected to match each set of map sheets. Features
crossing map sheet edges are adjusted to be continuous.
Process_Date: 19990105

Process_Description:
The coverage is cleaned and built with a

Process_Date: 199900105

Process_Description:
Label attributes are populated in Arcedit, using a special menu, with
the scanned tiff images as a backdrop guide. (This step is performed
simultaneously with digitization of arcs and labels.)

Coverage is converted to Arcview shapefile in Arcview 3.0.
Polygon attribute table is simplified by removing Arc/Info
