2.5.4 Scale
|
For a 2 star accredited service, ALL OneGeology layers must conform to these naming protocols. |
Scale comes next and is shortened using SI symbols:
- "M" for Million (upper case)
- "k" for thousand (lower case)
Such that a 1:1 000 000 scale map would be represented in the layer title as 1:1M and a 1:625 000 scale map would be represented in the layer title as 1:625k. In the layer names we shorten this further by removing the "1:" portion so that a 1:1 000 000 scale map is represented as 1M and a 1:625 000 scale map is represented as 625k. Additionally, if the map scale is represented in the layer title as 1:1.5M we lose the decimal point in the layer name by using 1500k.
