Known metadata gaps
Recorded explicitly rather than guessed.
- No DOI is registered for the service.
- The checksum recorded here is of Lithoen's enumeration artefact — the deposit-type vocabulary counted across all 13,213 er:MineralOccurrence records, plus the 31 records classified in the laterite group — not of the whole database, which is served rather than distributed as a file.
- The deposit-type classification is populated on roughly a quarter of records. The remainder carry er:classification as nil, which means GA has not classified them and never means they are not laterites. The enumeration is exhaustive over the source; the source is not exhaustive over Australia.
- The lineage of individual records is uneven and only sometimes stated. Some carry er:sourceReference naming a mining company; others carry none and are backed by GA's own geological analysis in the separate MineralDepositTemporalControls layer. Which of the two underlies any given classification cannot be determined for every record.
