AGSOREFS is a shared bibliographic database designed to serve two main purposes. First, it is intended to serve as a single reference pool for all AGSO relational geoscience databases, replacing a number of earlier reference systems. Its standardised references can be displayed from any Oracle database via a unique reference ID. Second, it is designed to function as a pooled reference system for all AGSO staff members. Users can select from it the references they want in their private lists, and can attach their own IDs and keywords. The menus, screen forms and reports used to input and view references, keywords, etc., are described in detail. Definitions of most fields in the database are given in some depth under descriptions of the screen forms - providing, in effect, a comprehensive data dictionary of the database. The database schema, with all definitions of tables, views and indexes is listed in an appendix to the guide. Instructions are given in a second appendix on how to parse and bulk-load references from documents and other databases.

This dataset is a spatial representation of the OZMIN Oracle relational database containing geological and resource information for Australian mineral deposits. OZMIN has been compiled from published references and has been designed so that attribute information can be retrieved and analysed in relation to spatial data contained in geographic information systems. The national mineral deposits dataset contains data on more than 1050 major and historically significant mineral deposits for 60 mineral commodities (including coal): over 7400 references cited.

Abstract There are two parts to this paper, The Data and The Remastering / Robotics Project The Data This part of the paper describes the types of data and how they are collected. The data includes seismic data, geophysical datasets, marine seafloor and fluid samples. Geoscience Australia assists exploration companies in the identification of new areas with potential for hydrocarbon discovery through the creation of geoscientific knowledge supported by databases and information systems. The Remastering Project This part of the paper describes how the digital data are stored, migrated and preserved. As part of the Australian Government's New Petroleum Initiative the 2003 Federal Budget provided funding of $10 million over four years for the transcription to high density media (3590B cartridges) of older seismic survey and well data on 9 and 21 track tapes and 3480 cartridges.

Geoscience Australia and State and Territory Geological Surveys have systematically surveyed most of the Australian continent over the past 40 years using airborne gamma-ray spectrometry to map potassium, uranium and thorium elemental concentrations at the Earth's surface. However, the individual surveys that comprise the national gamma-ray spectrometric radioelement database are not all registered to the same datum. This limits the usefulness of the database as it is not possible to easily combine surveys into regional compilations or make accurate comparisons between radiometric signatures in different survey areas. To solve these problems, Geoscience Australia has undertaken an Australia-Wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS), funded under the Australian Government's Onshore Energy Security Program, to serve as a radioelement baseline for all current and future airborne gamma-ray spectrometric surveys in Australia. The AWAGS survey has been back-calibrated to the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) radioelement datum. We have used the AWAGS data to level the national radioelement database by estimating survey correction factors that, once applied, minimize both the differences in radioelement estimates between surveys (where these surveys overlap) and the differences between the surveys and the AWAGS traverses. The database is thus effectively levelled to the IAEA datum. The levelled database has been used to produce the first 'Radiometric Map of Australia' - levelled and merged composite potassium (% K), uranium (ppm eU) and thorium (ppm eTh) grids over Australia at 100 m resolution. Interpreters can use the map to reliably compare the radiometric signatures observed over different parts of Australia. This enables the assessment of key mineralogical and geochemical properties of bedrock and regolith materials from different geological provinces and regions with contrasting landscape histories.
