titleCapture Process:

 

SHORELINE 

 

Definition: The line where the land meets a designated waterbody area on the mainland, and on marine or terrestrial islands.

 

Alternate Terms:

 

  • Automatically generated from the associated waterbody areas.

  • Capture as a 2D polyline

  • Shorelines do no cross other shorelines e.g., where two watercourse area features meet, the common line is called a Feature Type “Shoreline Junction”.

  • Shorelines are not captured coincident with a Feature Type “Dam Wall Major”

  • Shorelines are not captured when coincident with a Feature Type “Coastline Junction”

 

 

SHORELINE JUNCTION

 

Definition: The artificial line between two adjoining waterbody areas.

 

Alternate Terms:

 

 

 

  •  Automatically generated from the associated waterbody areas

  • Capture as a 2D polyline

  • No “Shoreline Junction” Feature Type is captured when coincident with a “Coastline Junction” Feature Type

  • The attribute Junction Code is determined by the Upper_scale value of the associated Shoreline feature. See Codes

  Where
  • Where two waterbody areas meet and they have a different Upper_scale value, the Junction Code of both features will be the larger Junction Code. e.g., if a 1:1 000 000 waterbody areas meets a 1:25 000 waterbody area, the Junction Code of both features will be 4.

  • No Shoreline Junction feature is shown between two waterbody areas that have the same Upper_scale value.

NAME

Yes

Text

100

The name of the feature (if available)

 

ALTERNATE_NAME

Yes

Text

An alternate name of the feature if available from the Queensland Place Names Database, otherwise left blank.

 

 

QLD_PNDB_ID

Yes

Long

 

Queensland Place Names Database unique identifier

 

ATTRIBUTE_SOURCE

No

Text

100

 

If the feature is named, the attribute_source is the source imagery, map, or data from which the features name has been obtained.

If the feature is not named, the attribute_source is the source imagery, map, or data used to define what the feature type is.  

 

 

ATTRIBUTE_DATE

No

Date

 

Date of the source imagery, map, or data used for attributing the feature.

 

ADDITIONAL_NAMES

Yes

Text

100

 

The feature may be commonly known by other names or have different spelling. Multiple additional names can be shown and separated by a comma.

 

 

ADD_NAMES_SOURCE

Yes

Text

100

 

The source map or data that the additional names were obtained.  Multiple sources can be shown, separated by a comma. If multiple sources are shown, the written sequence will be the same as the written sequence of the names themselves.

 

 

FEATURE_SOURCE

No

Text

100

The source imagery, map, or data that the spatial location of the feature was obtained from.

 

FEATURE_DATE

No

Date

 

Date of the feature source information that the location of the feature was obtained from.

 

PERENNIALITY

An attribute defining the Importance of a hydrographic feature in relation to the entire hydrographic network: Options:

  • Minor

  • Major

 

dm_hierarchy

DRAINAGE_BASIN

No

Text

50

The name of the drainage basin that the feature is situated in.

 

STREAM_ORDER

Yes

Short

 

 

Features classified with an UPPER_SCALE of 1:100 000 and above are stream ordered based on the Strahler method. NULL means the feature is not part of the stream ordered network.

 

dm_stream_order

PFI

No

Text

15

 

A Persistent Feature Identifier (PFI) is generated for each feature at the point of creation in the database. The value of the PFI will stay with the feature through all changes to the feature (both spatial and non-spatial) until the feature is retired. (See Persistent and Unique Feature Identifiers)

 

 

UFI

NO

Text

15

 

A Unique Feature Identifier (UFI) is generated for each new feature at the point of creation in the database (at this point the PFI and UFI will be the same). The value of the UFI will stay with the feature through all changes to the feature (both spatial and non-spatial) unless the feature is split into multiple other parts. If the feature is split, the separate parts will retain the original PFI but new UFI’s will be generated for the split parts. (See Persistent and Unique Feature Identifiers)

Date

 

The date the feature was originally captured and first loaded to the database
