Where the data are used in a figure GNS Science requests attribution in the following manner: (C) GNS Science 2014. Where reference to the data is to be included in a Reference List and the data is from a single published QMAP, reference to that source is suggested. If the data come from multiple sheets or the source cannot be identified then the following citation is suggested: Heron, D.W. (custodian) 2014: Geological Map of New Zealand 1:250 000.

Statement

Process Step 1: Data compiled on 1:50 000 record sheets, simplified for use at 1:250 000 on to 1:50 000 compilation sheets, and digitised using ArcInfo. Plots of data verified by GIS operator and author against compilation sheet. Attributes verified for logical consistency by GIS operator. Process Step 2: Data combined to form a single database for each individual QMAP sheet. Process Step 3: Data passed initial verification checks and published as individual hardcopy maps. Process Step 4: Data passed final verification against data dictionary and released in digital form on CD/DVD for individual QMAP sheets. Process Step 5: Data combined into single seamless dataset for New Zealand, with limited revision of features (principally at the margins of individual QMAP sheets), expansion of attributes and standardisation of names and terms. Process Step 6: Data projected to NZTM and released as Web Map Service. Process Step 7: Data released as Web Feature Service and Digital Vector Data.
