PFI

No

 Text

 

 

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

 

 

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)

 

 

CREATED_DATE*

No

Date

 

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

*internal use only

  • Capture as a 2D polygon

  • If under 20 metre wide, capture feature extent

  • The location is plotted from orthorectified imagery

  • If the feature is less than 500 metres, exaggerate the length to a minimum of 500 metres

  • Locations can be obtained from QldSpatial, Transport features Heliports and Landing Grounds – Qld download.

  • Locations can be obtained from other datasets, existing mapping, organisations, Government websites, or other source material.
