SA Geodata

The availability of precompetitive geoscientific information is key to reducing exploration risk.

• SA’s primary geoscientific data repository for exploration data

• Data largely derived from industry reporting requirements and government exploration programs

• Considerable effort to ensure consistency of data • Delivered through SARIG

What’s New?

Creative Commons – CC-BY

All Department of State Development minerals data available via SARIG is now licenced under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia

Greater certainty around use of the data and your rights

Data can be used for any purpose provided you acknowledge DSD as the original source

10 Department of State Development

Base Maps and Transparency

11 Department of State Development

Multiple base maps Custom map transparency

Core Library Drillholes

12 Department of State Development

Depth to Basement

Significant increase in the coverage of depth to basement data

13 Department of State Development

Link to Groundwater Data

14 Department of State Development

Web Services SARIG spatial data is now available via web services

‘Live’ link to DSD spatial data (always using latest available data)

Can be used directly in most GIS software

Two types:

1. Web Map Services (WMS)

2. Web Feature Services (WFS) 15 Department of State Development

WWW.tf?

WMS vs WFS

WMS Provides a ‘picture’ of the data

Basic attribution is available

Fast to download

Can’t be queried

Map display can’t be configured (eg symbols, labels)

16 Department of State Development

WFS Provides direct access to data

Exactly the same as having the data stored in GIS database

Can be queried

Map display fully configurable

Slower to download

Accessing Web Services in SARIG

Right click on the layer group heading in the Map Layers (eg Drillholes) and select ‘Group Download’

Loading a WFS in ArcGIS (v10.x)

To add a WFS to ArcGIS you must first install the ArcGIS Data Interoperability Extension

This is done via setup.exe from the installation media

See ArcGIS help file for instructions

Tip – search Installing the Data Interoperability Extension
