Appendix X - Listing of Domain Tables and Definitions


[<< Appendix W]

This appendix lists all the domain tables and their definitions which occur within the TOPO100K NTDB and the 1:25 000 data capture model. Currently no domains are used within the TOPO250K NTDB. The domains are listed in alphabetical order.

A single domain may be used by multiple feature classes. Domains throughout the specifications will be referred by their generic name (e.g.dm_UpperScale), however when used in each scale model a suffix of the scale definition will be added to the generic name to differentiate the domain when in the SDE environment. For example in TOPO100K production model the dm_Upperscale domain will be named dm_Upperscale100K but in the 1:25 000 data capture model it would be named dm_Upperscale25K.

For more information relating to domains and how they fit within the Geoscience Australia's topographic database structures refer to Section 3 Chapter 4.2 Domains
