Dataset Lineage

This dataset is derived from the MAPNET and LAIS databases. The spatial component (MAPNET) was originally digitised from existing cadastral maps created from land surveys within the Northern Territory. The attribute data is only a subset of information available from within the LAIS database. The LAIS database data is derived from historical data described by the initial surveyors of the Northern Territory. It was captured electronically in the late 1970's for inclusion when the system became operational in 1981. The data is stored in a database and is a dynamic dataset that is undergoing continual change. Refer to the MAPNET and LAIS metadata records for further information.
