- Statement
- A new 1:625 000 scale (5th edition) printed geological map of the United Kingdom, published in 2007, was prepared digitally and these data were then used to create the replacement DiGMapGB-625 Bedrock Version 5. The 1:625 000 Bedrock data were created from two main sources. The geology for England & Wales, Scotland and the Isle of Man is generalised directly from the 1:50 000 scale DiGMapGB-50 V3 data released in 2006 with ongoing revisions through to 2007 incorporating selective interpretations from new 50k maps, anticipating their release as V5 tiles in 2008. The data for Northern Ireland were derived by minor simplification from the 1:250 000 scale geological map of Northern Ireland, published in 2007. Holes in the 50k data were filled using information from other sources. The version 5 data of the 1:625 000 dykes data was created primarily from the 1:50 000 scale Digital Geological Map of Great Britain (DiGMapGB-50) version 3 dataset (released in 2006) by generalisation involving cartographic selection, modification, simplification or exaggeration and matches that shown on the BGS poster maps of the UK (North and South) published in 2008. The attributes and nomenclature used follow those on the printed maps. The version 5 data of the 1:625 000 linear features data was created primarily from the 1:50 000 scale Digital Geological Map of Great Britain (DiGMapGB-50) version 3 dataset (released in 2006) by generalisation involving cartographic selection, modification, simplification or exaggeration and matches that shown on the BGS poster maps of the UK (North and South) published in 2008. The attributes and nomenclature used follow those on the printed maps. The linear features were fitted to a relevant topographic base at the time of production. The 1:625 000 Superficial data were compiled from two main sources: the latest available 1:50 000 data (together with other information used to fill in the ‘holes’) and the 1:250 000 published Quaternary map of Northern Ireland.
