Description
This floristic and vegetation survey by the Conservation Commission of the Northern Territory describes vegetation community data. The technical report was supplied to G. Webb Pty. Ltd as part of an Environmental Impact Statement Report. The location of the survey is over several GEMCO mining lease areas on the western side of Groote Eylandt, Northern Territory. The survey was completed in 1992 and compiled into a spatial polygon dataset at a scale of 1:50,000. 30 vegetation mapping units are described in the report.

Data Quality
Lineage:Original map unit boundaries delineated from aerial photographs and stereoscope interpretation. Map units transferred to clean dyeline sheets or topographic maps via a mapograph. Original maps were hardcopy only. With the advent of geographic information systems polygons were digitised by rectifying the original hard copy maps. Map unit boundaries derived using hard copy aerial photography and stereoscope, satellite imagery (post 1993), geological and topographic maps. Field data (site data) described and classified according to national standards at the time of capture. Map unit polygons collected via geographic information system (ArcGIS/MapInfo).
Positional Accuracy:POLYGON DATA - Map unit boundaries transferred from aerial photographs to topographic maps, using the best available topographic mapping at the time (generally 1:100 000) via a mapograph. Level of accuracy depends on the number of control points on individual aerial photographs. Control points include creek lines, cadastre and other topographic features. Depending on the nature of the landscape (the number of control points), positional accuracy may vary. Positional accuracy generally considered moderate to high.
POINT DATA - Site point coordinates collected from a geographic positioning system with general accuracy of within 100m. Selective availability during this time prevented increased accuracy.
Attribute Accuracy:Attributes assigned according to the dominant feature. For example, where ten sites have been grouped to describe a particular map unit and two different soils described from these sites then the dominant soil is chosen.
Logical Consistency:GIS editing tools were used to rectify all overshoots and undershoots in line work. Polygon topology rules applied are; must not overlap, must not have gaps and each polygon has only one label.
Completeness:Complete. Spatial data available from this department
