MAP NAME (MAPNAME) [String;Yes;60;0;0;Pop_Req] The map name that defines the map index to which the feature is related.

MAP NUMBER (MAPNUMBER) [String;Yes;8;0;0;Pop_Dep] The number that defines the map index to which the feature is related.

This item must be populated.

REVISED DATE (REVISED) [Date;Yes;36;0;0;Pop_Aut] Date of creation or subsequent revision of the feature in the database. This field will be entered/edited automatically by GEOSCIENCE AUSTRALIA.
