1:100 000 State interpreted bedrock geology of Western Australia (DMIRS-038)

Known metadata gaps

Recorded explicitly rather than guessed.

• No DOI is registered for the product.
• The checksum recorded here is of the filtered retrieval Lithoen holds — the 2,259 polygons carrying one of the four ultramafic rock types — not of the whole 33,422-polygon layer.
• The publisher names the interpretation's inputs for the product as a whole and not per polygon, so which polygons rest on drilling and which on geophysics alone cannot be determined from the data.
• No depth information of any kind is published: no depth to basement, no cover thickness, no depth at which the interpretation was constrained.
• gswastatus describes the standing of a unit's NAME (Formal, Informal, Probably Obsolete) and is not a confidence in the interpretation at a place. No per-polygon interpretive confidence is published.
• The lineage is named but unresolved. The publisher lists the interpretation's inputs — fieldwork, magnetics, radiometrics, gravity, ASTER and LANDSAT imagery, seismic and magnetotelluric profiles, drilling, and published and unpublished mapping — for the product as a whole and not per polygon, and identifies none of them as a citable source. So this corpus can state that the product is NOT independent of surface mapping or of drilling, which is the fact that matters for counting evidence, but cannot resolve which upstream source any individual polygon rests on.
