• DEMOGRAPHY Maps

Spatial domain:

Geographic extent name:

Australia excluding external territories - AUS

Note: The format for each Geographic extent name is: Name - Identifier - Category - Jurisdiction (as appropriate)

Geographic bounding box:
The bounding box encloses the maximum extents of the dataset. There may be voids or gaps within the bounding box, depending on the defined coverage of the dataset. Outer bounding rectangle as Latitude/Longitude coordinates based on the WGS84 datum (expressed as both Degrees Minutes Seconds and as decimal Degrees):

• North bounding latitude: 9 00 00.0 S (-9)
• South bounding latitude: 44 00 00.0 S (-44)
• East bounding longitude: 154 00 00.0 E (154)

Additional metadata

The mapserver is available at: http://www.indexgeo.com.au/cgi-bin/wms-location

This is a test metadata record using an extended ANZMETA DTD to add the onLineSrc/linkage element (and its supporting elements borrowed from ISO 19115) to enable online links, directly from metadata to data (and services) and vice versa.

See explanation of how this discover-and-get capability is implemented - http://www.indexgeo.net/zap/onlink/
