Product Version Management

Versioning is managed through incrementing when there is a change to the product schema or a significant change in data population, these are described further below:

  • A schema change can affect a major or minor increment to the versioning.

    • Additive changes (changes that won’t break customers’ ability to work with the data) will be incremented with a minor version increment, an example is the addition of a new attribute.

    • Removal of attributes or changing the structure of the schema will enact a major change to identify that this requires the attention of all customers and partners.

  • Where a significant geography of Australia either has a new population of data for an attribute or is populated from a much higher quality source a minor increment will be applied to the product version.

Overview

National Local Government Areas is a spatial representation of the administrative divisions that local governments are responsible for across the country. A Local Government Area (LGA) will typically have an elected council as well as a council leader (e.g. mayor, shire president). National Local Government Areas aggregates the representations unique to each jurisdiction into a consistent, seamless representation of the LGA boundaries across Australia.

National Local Government Areas is designed to meet the needs of organisations that require a geospatial representation of LGA boundaries at both a local and national scale. The attribution provided within National Local Government Areas allows for the application of the data across a wide range of commercial, government and research uses. Geoscape Australia welcomes your feedback on our National Local Government Areas product. We also publish regular updates on the development of our products on the Geoscape website (www.geoscape.com.au).
