Abstract

Abstract The key to success in any geological investigation is access to accurate and reliable information. Clear strategies are required to ensure that geological information, often acquired at great expense, is not mislaid and is kept in a form that can benefit its owners. To meet this need requires the provision of a reliable data management strategy, a well-defined and efficient policy of administration and a clear understanding of the nature, origin and quality of data involved. Geological data by their very nature pose particular problems in terms of compilation, quantification and validation. However, the application of standard quality control, quality assurance and audit procedures can be used to ensure the correctness (or accuracy) of the data, thereby safeguarding the integrity of any associated investigation.
