  1. Airborne Magnetic and Radiometric Technical Standards: This document defines the technical standards set by Geoscience Australia for the acquisition, processing and supply of airborne magnetic, horizontal magnetic gradient and radiometric (gamma-ray spectrometric) data. The technical standards cover the requirements for equipment, calibrations, quality control checks, reporting and data formats for airborne surveys.

  2. NetCDF-4/HDF5 is a set of software libraries and self-describing, machine-independent data formats that support the creation, access, and sharing of array-oriented scientific data.

  3. Earth Resource (ER) Mapper: A vector image file format associated with the ER Mapper and ER Viewer products currently owned by Hexagon Geospatial. It consists of a text-based .erv file containing image attributes and metadata, and another file (usually with no extension) containing the image data.

  4. ESRI Shape Files: An ESRI shapefile is a vector data storage format for storing the location, shape, and attributes of geographic features. It is stored as a set of related files and contains one feature class. Shapefiles often contain large features with a lot of associated data and historically have been used in GIS desktop applications such as ArcMap. The primary way to share shapefile data is via a .zip file that must contain at least the .shp, .shx, .dbf, and .prj files components of the shapefile.

  5. OGC GeoTIFF is a public domain standard based on the TIFF format and is used throughout the geospatial and earth science communities to share geographic image data. For more information, please see the OGC GeoTIFF Standard documentation.
