Resource authority holders need to submit a range of statutory reports on their activities. Reports include all mineral exploration, geothermal exploration, greenhouse gas exploration, petroleum exploration, petroleum well, seismic survey or airborne geophysical survey, mineral development licence, petroleum lease, and petroleum pipeline licence reports and some other exploration related reporting.
Reporting obligations are defined here: https://www.business.qld.gov.au/industries/mining-energy-water/resources/minerals-coal/reports-notices and https://www.business.qld.gov.au/industries/mining-energy-water/resources/petroleum-energy/reports-notices
- When government issues a permit to a holder, the legislation requires a permit holder to submit reports to the Department when certain activities are performed under the conditions of the permit.
- The reports contain knowledge of the geological resource.
- Historically, industry reports have been lodged through QDEX Reports.
- GDMP will deliver a new lodgement portal to replace QDEX Reports.
- Most industry reports have a confidentiality period before becoming open file.
This profile is presented as a series of files that perform different roles:
- model/ - the model folder contains this profile's models in both graphical (SVG) and machine-readable, textual, form ( RDF turtle).
- shapes/ - folder containing SHACL shapes files used to validate data's conformance to this profile's model.
- profile.ttl - the profile declaration. A description of all of the items in this profile (the formal model, validating resources, documentation etc.) according to the W3C's Profiles Ontology which describes how all the parts related to one another, the roles they play (to give guidance for use, to validate data etc.) and how this profile profiles the various standards listed above.
CLasses used in this profile:
- Queensland Mining Permit - used if the report relates to a permit(s)
- GSQ Survey Profile - used if the report is the result of a survey event
- dcat:Dataset - industry report is a special type of dataset
- dcat:Theme - used to categorise the resource, the GSQ themes are described as skos:Concepts in the vocabulary GSQ Data Themes
- dcat:Distribution
- dct:Location - spatial coverage of the report expressed as lat/long, centroid, bounding box or simple polygon
- dct:creator - the author of the report
- dct:publisher - GSQ
- dct:contactPoint - GSQ contact
- dct:title - report title
- dct:description
- dct:identifier - report number
- dct:license - not shown in diagram for readability
- dcat:keyword - not shown in diagram for readability
- foaf:Agent
- rdfs:seeAlso - refers to secondary metadata
- FOAF document - a document with secondary metadata
- ProperInterval - the temporal coverage of the report
- dct:created
- dct:issued - date of formal issuance (e.g., open file publication)
- dct:modified - most recent date on which the item was changed, updated or modified
- prov:wasGeneratedBy - the survey or other activity that generated the report (the completion of production of a new entity by an activity). Created as a link to that survey.
- prov:wasAttributedTo - the company or individual who submitted the report (attribution is the ascribing of an entity to an agent).
