Summary Abstract: The Australian Antarctic Data Centre's Davis Station GIS data were originally mapped from aerial photography (February 11, 12 1997). Refer to the metadata record 'Davis Station GIS Dataset'. Since then various features have been added to these data as structures have been removed, moved or established. Some of these features have been surveyed. These surveys have metadata records from which the report describing the survey can be downloaded. However, the locations of other features have been obtained from a variety of sources. The data are included in the data available for download from a Related URL below. The data conforms to the SCAR Feature Catalogue which includes data quality information. See a Related URL below. Data described by this metadata record has Dataset_id = 104. Each feature has a Qinfo number which, when entered at the 'Search datasets & quality' tab, provides data quality information for the feature.
