Other constraints

Either : (i) the dataset has not been formally approved by BGS for access and use by external clients under license; and / or (ii) the dataset contains 3rd party data or information obtained by BGS under terms and conditions that must be consulted before the dataset can be provided to, or accessed by, BGS staff or external clients. Refer to the BGS staff member responsible for the creation of the dataset if further advice is required. He / she should be familiar with the composition of the dataset, particularly with regard to 3rd party IPR contained in it, and any resultant access restrictions. This staff member should revert to the IPR Section (IPR@bgs.ac.uk) for advice, should the position not be clear.

Statement

The original source of the data was the Australian Mineral Foundation (AMF) thesaurus of geoscience 4th Edition which was purchased in July 2001. In December 2001 BGS received notification that the AMF was closing down. The BGS copy has been and will continue to be updated to suit BGS needs, and BGS has full ownership of the entire product (BGS IPR Ref IPR/24-25 and IPR58-17). Note that Chartered Information Services took over the publication of the AMF thesaurus subsequent to the closure of the AMF, which they publish under the name GeMPeT.
