Data quality

Lineage:

Dataset originally created in 1994 from State and National Heritage Registers, Roadside Vegetation Surveys, known populations of rare flora and Aboriginal Heritage Surveys. Data has been added as information sources change and new surveys completed.

Positional accuracy:

Horizontal accuracy is approximately +/- 20 m using Transport SA road maintenance worker system. Veritcal accuracy is not documented.

Attribute accuracy:

Classification method and attribute accuracy varies between site types. A high degree of accuracy for cultural heritage, national and state registers. For vegetation sites, accuracy maybe lower as the classification and survey methods differ.

Logical consistency:

Not Relevant

Completeness:

A significant proportion of documented sites of cultural and natural heritage are believed to be included. The register grows as further surveys are completed and items added to national and state heritage registers.
