Abstract
The AGSO Web server now has a page that allows public access to many of AGSO's Oracle database lookup tables. These tables are the key to the nomenclature and classifications used in our geoscientific databases, and provide a valuable resource to many Australian geologists. For example, the geological time scale table provides a comprehensive list of time terms used in Australia and elsewhere, their rank, scope, parent term and older and younger age boundaries in millions of years PB - according to the latest information. Or, the OZMIN mineral deposits attributes table, with nearly 2000 terms, provides a complete and authoritative classification of Australian ore deposits, as well as other attributes such as alteration, mineralisation style, gangue minerals, ore texture and relationships to host. with nearly 4500 terms, the largest of the 37 tables so far included is the extent-names table for our metadata system. The smallest, with just 9 terms, is the analyte categories table for the GWATER database. The table may be downloaded from the Web, or alternatively you may purchase them as ASCII files, as per AGSO Catalog No. 24488.
