Abstract
Geoscience Australia defines a sample as a feature observed, measured or collected in the field. A specimen is a physical individual sample collected during the field work. This data set represents a subset of all Sampling data held by Geoscience Australia that have been collected as part of drilling activities (ie relate to Australian Boreholes). The data will be utilised by other data domains by providing Sampling context to various Observation & Measurement data.

Lineage
The data resides in the enterprise database environment and has been sourced from a variety of places including (but not limited to) Mineral and Petroleum Exploration companies, State Geological Surveys and Water Authorities as well as internal sampling programs. The information contained within this data set has been selected from the GA corporate data with the following business logic applied: a.Security rating of the data is open file b.Only active records are included c.Only Australian Records are included d.A decision was made to exclude any samples that had no defined location after attempting to derive coordinates from its parent borehole. This data now supports multiple internal and external requirements for a consolidated whole of Australia Borehole Sampling dataset and will serve as the single point of truth to deliver data services for Geoscience ML (GeoSciML) and Groundwater ML (GWML).
