e.g

GA4867_Bathymetry_2020_64m_SH51_Depth_20210729.tif

in2019_e01_Bathymetry_0p5m_EM710_SH51_Depth_20201214T052921Z.tif

 

Element

Value

GAID or SurveyID

The GA SurveyID or the Source SurveyID for example GA-0123 or CSIRO in2019_e01

Product Type 

Bathymetry (for extension to Backscatter) 

Survey Year (Optional)

Year the Survey commenced (optional) as sometimes this information is visible within the SurveyID e.g. in2019_e01

Resolution - Horizontal

Resolution of grid in metres as per the AusSeabed_DepthRanges_2019 procedure, For fractions such as 0.5m resolution, use - 0p5m

Sensor Identifier (Optional)

e.g. EM122_CUBE, EM122_SA (Identifier may include raster algorithm, or Band contents)

RegionCode

Each Survey will be broken up into one or more Region Codes based on xxx grid definition.

MeasurementLabel

e.g Depth, or Uncertainty, or Density

Version Identifier

Usually considered the production or publication date of the GeoTIFF: If a date, submit in a standard format using ISO 8601 – {20201214}[{T052921Z}]. Alternatively or additionally use versions numbers e.g. v1, v2 etc

Format extension

A standard string defining the format of the product – e.g. 

 *.tif  - original

 *.shp – Shapefile coverage holding geometry and key attributes

Table 2. File naming convention components and associated definitions.

 

The Vertical datum and CRS were removed as it is available within the broader metadata and does not assist in ensuring uniqueness of the filename.

 

The Resolution, SensorIdentifier, RegionCode, MeasurementLabel and VersionIdentifier are often required to ensure filename uniqueness when there are multiple options for a single product.

 

Examples:

  • GA4867_Bathymetry_2020_64m_SH51_Depth_20210729.tif

  • in2019_e01_Bathymetry_0p5m_EM710_SH51_Depth_20201214T052921Z.tif
