Abstract
Progress towards understanding the construction and evolution of complex geological entities and processes such as orogenesis, continental growth and dispersal is increasing dependent on a researcher's capacity to assemble and manipulate large complex data sets. Although to this end GIS has obvious benefits, most of the needed data are not yet in appropriate digital formats and most do not conform to global or even national standards that facilitate rapid and efficient transfer, assembly and analysis of data. To meet these challenges, Geoscience Australia is building a new digital online 1:1 mil scale geological map of Australia, including its offshore continental extent, and a new set of tools (including databases of geological provinces "OZGEOPROVS" and events "OZGEOEVENTS") that will facilitate online analysis of the underlying information.
