  • Major Version: 1

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 Wards is a spatial representation of the gazetted ward districts, which are a subset of Local Government Area boundaries defined by the State and Territory governments of Australia. Wards represent distinct areas within a local government area that relate to the election of councillors for the related local government. Not all Local Government Areas consist of Wards. National Wards aggregates the representations unique to each jurisdiction into a consistent, seamless representation of the ward boundaries across Australia.
