A major challenge to bedrock mineral exploration in many parts of South Australia is the need to be able to explore efficiently and effectively through extensive and thick regolith. Understanding and mapping regolith distribution and composition... A major challenge to bedrock mineral exploration in many parts of South Australia is the need to be able to explore efficiently and effectively through extensive and thick regolith. Understanding and mapping regolith distribution and composition can be a very cost-efficient and powerful exploration tool. The Geological Survey of South Australia has recently compiled a seamless statewide 1:2 million scale regolith map of South Australia and an accompanying detailed GIS dataset that portrays regolith materials, as well as landforms and regolith overprints (induration, lag). The regolith map aims to provide a statewide representation of regolith materials and landforms and thus presents a broad-scale framework for guiding geochemical prospecting for a wide range of minerals both beneath and within the regolith, as well as addressing land use, groundwater and other environmental issues.

GIS Market in EMEA: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The integration of BIM and GIS is notably driving the GIS market growth in EMEA, although factors such as data viability and risk of intrusion may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the GIS industry in EMEA. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key GIS Market Driver in EMEA
One of the key factors driving the geographic information system (GIS) market growth in EMEA is the integration of BIM and GIS. A GIS adds value to BIM by visualizing and analyzing the data with regard to the buildings and surrounding features, such as environmental and demographic information. BIM data and workflows include information regarding sensors and the placement of devices in IoT-connected networks. For instance, Dubai's Civil Defense Department has integrated GIS data with its automatic fire surveillance system. This information is provided in a matter of seconds on the building monitoring systems of the Civil Defense Department. Furthermore, location-based services offered by GIS providers help generate huge volumes of data from stationary and moving devices and enable users to perform real-time spatial analytics and derive useful geographic insights from it. Owing to the advantages associated with the integration of BIM with GIS solutions, the demand for GIS solutions is expected to increase during the forecast period.
Key GIS Market Challenge in EMEA
One of the key challenges to the is the GIS market growth in EMEA is the data viability and risk of intrusion. Hackers can hack into these systems with malicious intentions and manipulate the data, which could have destructive or negative repercussions. Such hacking of data could cause nationwide chaos. For instance, if a hacker manipulated the traffic management database, massive traffic jams and accidents could result. If a hacker obtained access to the database of a national disaster management organization and manipulated the data to create a false disaster situation, it could lead to a panic situation. Therefore, the security infrastructure accompanying the implementation of GIS software solutions must be robust. Such security threats may impede market growth in the coming years.
Key GIS Market Trend in EMEA
Integration of augmented reality (AR) and GIS is one of the key geographic information system market trends in EMEA that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. AR apps could provide GIS content to professional end-users and aid them in making decisions on-site, using advanced and reliable information available on their mobile devices and smartphones. For instance, when the user simply points the camera of the phone at the ground, the application will be able to show the user the location and orientation of water pipes and electric cables that are concealed underground. Organizations such as the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) are seeking investments and are open to sponsors for an upcoming AR pilot project, which seeks to advance the standards of AR technology at both respective organizations. Such factors will further support the market growth in the coming years.
This GIS market in EMEA analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth st

The Master List of Schools is a record of all schools in South Africa. The data forms part of the national Education Management Information Systems (EMIS) database used to inform education policymakers and managers in the Department of Basic Education (DBE) and the Provincial education departments, as well as to provide valuable information to external stakeholders. The list is maintained by provincial departments and regularly sent to DBE for updating. A key function of the master list is to uniquely identify each school in the country through a school identifier called the EMIS number. Additionally, the list contains data on school quintiles - categories (quintiles) based on the socioeconomic status of the community in which the school is situated. Analyses comparing schools' performance often use school quintiles as control measures for socioeconomic status, to take into account the effect of, for example, poor infrastructure, shortage of materials and deprived home backgrounds on school performance. There are also other basic data fields in the school master list that could provide the means to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about learner enrolment, teachers and learner-teacher ratio of schools. It is a useful dataset for education planners and researchers and is even widely used in the private sector by those who regularly deal with schools.
The data has national coverage
Individuals and institutions
The survey covers all schools (ordinary and special needs) in South Africa, both public and independent.
Administrative records and survey data
Other
Data from the SNAP survey and ANA that are used to compile the Master List of Schools is collected with a survey questionnaire and educator forms. The principle completes the survey questionnaire and each educator (both state paid and other) in each school completes an educator form. Schools record their EMIS number provided by the DBE on the questionnaire and form for identification.
The 2023 series only includes data for quarter 2 and quarter 3. The GIS coordinates for schools in the Eastern Cape are incorrectly entered in the original data from the DBE. The data entered in the GIS_long variable is incorrectly entered into the GIS_lat variable. This issue only occurs for schools in the Eastern Cape (EC), all other GIS coordinates for all the other provinces is correct. Therefore, for geospatial analysis, users can swap the GIS coordiate data only for the Eastern Cape.

This data release contains the GIS data supporting U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report (OFR) 2005-1252, "The Geologic Map of Seattle—A Progress Report," published in 2005 by Kathy Goetz Troost, Derek B. Booth, Aaron P. Wisher, and Scott A. Shimel (https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20051252). The OFR was prepared for the 2005 Washington Hydrogeology Symposium and describes the status of geologic mapping for Seattle, Washington, at the time. The map is the result of field mapping and compilation of subsurface geologic data during the years 1999–2004 and was funded by the City of Seattle and the U.S. Geological Survey. Data from more than 36,000 exploration points, geotechnical borings, monitoring wells, excavations, and outcrops were used in making the map. The northern part of the 2005 OFR and the supporting GIS data were subsequently published as two geologic maps: Booth, D.B., Troost, K.G., and Shimel, S.A., 2005, Geologic map of northwestern Seattle (part of the Seattle North 7.5’ X 15’ Quadrangle), King County, Washington: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map 2903, https://doi.org/10.3133/sim2903. Booth, D.B., Troost, K.G., and Shimel, S.A., 2009, Geologic map of northeastern Seattle (part of the Seattle North 7.5' x 15' quadrangle), King County, Washington: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map 3065, https://doi.org/10.3133/sim3065. The southern part of the 2005 OFR and the supporting GIS data were not subsequently published for various reasons. With the original authors' permission, the GIS data used to create the map shown in OFR 2005-1252 are being released here to best meet modern open-data standards and to allow for use in future studies and mapping. The data included in this data release are only those components necessary to create the map shown in OFR 2005-1252. The following map features were not available and are not included in this data release: bedding point data, faults, anticlines, and contact lines. OFR_2005-1252.gdb is an Esri geodatabase containing the following feature classes: ofr_2005_1252_geology_poly (1,068 features); ofr_2005_1252_fill_poly (424 features); ofr_2005_1252_seattle_fault_zone_poly (1 feature); ofr_2005_1252_wastage_landslide_deposits_poly (188 features); ofr_2005_1252_beds_line (6 features); and ofr_2005_1252_scarp_line (351 features). Metadata records associated with each of these elements contain more detailed descriptions of their purposes, constituent entities, and attributes. A shapefile (non-geodatabase) version of the dataset is also included, although due to character limits, some field names and text cells in the attribute tables were truncated relative to the equivalent values in the geodatabase. The authors ask that users of the geologic map data cite both the open-file report and the GIS data release: Open-File Report: Troost, K.G., Booth, D.B., Wisher, A.P., and Shimel, S.A., 2005, The geologic map of Seattle—a progress report: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2005-1252, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20051252.

The tabular and visual dataset focuses on South African basic education and provides insights into the distribution of schools and basic population statistics across the country. This tabular and visual data are stratified across different quintiles for each provincial and district boundary. The quintile system is used by the South African government to classify schools based on their level of socio-economic disadvantage, with quintile 1 being the most disadvantaged and quintile 5 being the least disadvantaged. The data was joined by extracting information from the debarment of basic education with StatsSA population census data. Thereafter, all tabular data and geo located data were transformed to maps using GIS software and the Python integrated development environment. The dataset includes information on the number of schools and students in each quintile, as well as the population density in each area. The data is displayed through a combination of charts, maps and tables, allowing for easy analysis and interpretation of the information.
