Abstract:  This dataset displays the extent of clusters of islands that are named as a group (e.g., the Cumberland Islands) within the State of Queensland.

Purpose: This Queensland wide dataset provides generalised information for topographical mapping purposes. To provide digital data displaying the named Island Groups (includes terms: archipelago, islets) within the State of Queensland. The primary objective of this dataset is to provide a cartographic portrayal of Queensland's natural features and should be interpreted and utilised correctly. It is suitable for use in land administration, emergency management, topographic mapping and in the production of web based mapping applications.

Supplemental information: The extent of these features are difficult to define accurately and as such the boundary represents an approximate or fuzzy extent of the feature rather than the exact extent. Names have been sourced from numerous locations and attributes within the data describe the source of the names. Name sources include but not limited to: - Queensland Place Names Database - Great Barrier Reef Base Mapping - Geoscience Australia 1:100000 Topographic Mapping Feature Types: ISLAND GROUP - A cluster of islands named as a group (includes terms: Archipelago, Islets). Attributes: FEATURE_TYPE (Feature Type) - Unique feature type that identifies the type of feature. e.g. Island Group NAME (Name) - The name of the feature ALTERNATE_NAME (Alternate Name) - An alternate name of the feature if available from the Queensland Place Names Database, otherwise left blank. QLD_PNDB_ID (Qld PNDB ID) - Queensland Place Names Database unique identifier ATTRIBUTE_SOURCE (Attribute Source) - The source map or data where the name of the feature was obtained from. ATTRIBUTE_DATE (Attribute Date) - Date of the source map or data where the name of the feature was obtained from. ADDITIONAL_NAMES (Additional Names) - Other names of the feature if not recorded in the Queensland Place Names Database. Maybe commonly known by other names or have different spelling. Multiple names can be shown, separated by a comma. ADD_NAMES_SOURCE (Additional Names Source) - The source map or data that the additional names of the feature were obtained from. 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 (Feature Source) - The source imagery, map, or data that the spatial location and shape of the of the feature was obtained from. FEATURE_DATE (Feature Date) - Date of the source imagery, map, or data that the spatial location and shape of the feature was obtained from. PFI (PFI) - A Persistent Feature Identifier (PFI) is generated once for each feature at the point of creation. 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. UFI (UFI) - A Unique Feature Identifier (UFI) is generated once for each new feature at the point of creation (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. CREATED_DATE (Created Date) - The date the feature was originally captured and first loaded to the database LAST_EDITED_DATE (Last Edited Date) - Date of the last editing or revision to the feature DIMENSION_M2 (Dimension (m²)) - The area of the feature measured in square metres (Albers projection) UPPER_SCALE (Upper Scale) - The upper scale for which the feature should be considered suitable TEXT_NOTE (Text Note) - For mapping purposes. Additional annotation that can be shown on a map. ADD_INFORMATION (Additional Informmation) - A comment field (additional information) This dataset is stored in an ESRI Geodatabase. Some columns names may be shortened if downloaded in the ESRI shape format.

Lineage:
Lineage statement: The names of the features are primarily sourced from the Queensland Place Names Database, Great Barrier Reef Base Mapping or Geoscience Australia 1:100000 Topographic Mapping. There is no actual extent of the feature, rather a polygon is positioned so as to include all the islands that comprise the island group. The boundary of the feature has no spatial significance, it only signifies that all islands within its boundaries belong to that island group and is created primarily for mapping purposes. This dataset is GDA2020 Compliant. The source data, and therefore the captured features, were captured as GDA94 (horizontal only). This data has been projected to GDA2020 by using ArcGIS Pro geoprocessing tool Project geoprocessing. Using geographic transformation parameters ‘GDA94 to GDA2020 NTv2 3 Conformal’. The data has also been processed to remove any redundant vertices by using ArcGIS Pro’s Simplify Polygon geoprocessing tool. Retain critical points (Douglas-Peucker) method was used for the Simplification Algorithm and a Simplification tolerance of 0.25m. The data was further processed using an ESRI validation in a Repair Geometry geoprocessing tool and deleting any features with Null geometry.

Data quality report - Absolute external positional accuracy:
Measure description: As the seaward extent is difficult to determine, the extent represents an approximate or fuzzy extent that can be determined from imagery interpretation. The horizontal positional accuracy of the source material used to determine the landward extent of the feature is generally as follows: - Great Barrier Reef Base Mapping +/- 1000m - Geoscience Australia 1:100000 Topographic Mapping +/- 1000m

Conformance test results:
Test passed: true
Meaning of the result: The data is to a standard determined as fit for the purpose for which it was collected.
