Description
This dataset contains the taxonomic and geographic data associated with preserved specimens that comprise the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory's Porifera Collection (sea sponges). Specimens have been collected from the waters of the Northern Territory and adjacent regions with comparative material held from locations around the world.

Data Quality
Lineage:This dataset was started in 1981 with the opening of the NT Museum and includes all of the Poriferans that have been collected by various researchers over the years. The data was computerised in the early 1990's and is complete, with new records added regularly.
Positional Accuracy:Could be either from GPS or taken from nautical charts. Positional accuracy of records created post 2002 are mostly noted and method and accuracy of position fix recorded.
Attribute Accuracy:Identifications of specimens have been performed by both specialists and non-specialists, where possible the relative degree of taxonomic accuracy has been noted in the dataset. Species names in the dataset are not necessarily aligned with the current taxonomy of the fauna group as there is a lag between published revisions of fauna and updating the dataset.
Logical Consistency:Good.
Completeness:New records added regularly, older records may be incomplete in some data fields.
