The ICSM Topographic Feature Catalogue

This document describes a national standard set of feature codes and feature definitions for topographic data.  The document brings together a diverse group of data dictionaries and standards into a single amalgamated set of feature codes and feature definitions.  Where possible, ICSM’s Harmonised Data Model (HDM) feature definitions have been used.  This file is located at: standardised_national_feature_codes.pdf

Metadata

Metadata documentation provides information about data sets and their component elements.  It may include descriptive information about the content, quality, ownership and condition of the data.

The Office of Spatial Data Management's (OSDM) Spatial Data Management Group has endorsed the ANZLIC Metadata Profile (version 1.1) for use by Australian Government agencies.  The ANZLIC Metadata Profile replaces the Australian Government Metadata Profile which has been in use since December 2004.  The ANZLIC Metadata Profile, Guidelines and Entry Tool are now available from the OSDM WEB site: http://www.osdm.gov.au/Metadata/default.aspx.
