Lineage
The attributes of the data set were originally compiled in hard copy, as BMR Record 1986/27. Ths data was compiled at 1:5 000 000 scale from regolith mapping work done by several authors. The accompanying 1:5 000 000 map was digitised in Arcinfo at NRIC in 1993. Polygon attributes were obtained from a selected digital version of the text Record 1986/27 at that time. In June 1998 the selected attributes of the Arcinfo dataset were reviewed and mostly discarded. New attribute data based on all the original Record 1986/27 data was compiled into a spreadsheet and compared to the regolith mapping codes used for the production of AGSO's current Regolith maps and stored in the corporate Regolith database RTMAP. Modification of some original data and the addition of classification attributes occurred on the tabular data before addition to the original Arcinfo coverage.
