- Use constraints
- Either: (i) the dataset is made freely available, e.g. via the Internet, for a restricted category of use (e.g. educational use only); or (ii) the dataset has not been formally approved by BGS for access and use by external clients under licence, but its use may be permitted under alternative formal arrangements; or (iii) the dataset contains 3rd party data or information obtained by BGS under terms and conditions that must be consulted in order to determine the permitted usage of the dataset. 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 use restrictions. This staff member should revert to the IPR Section (ipr@bgs.ac.uk ) for advice, should the position not be clear.

- Supplemental Information
- Regional geochemical Mapping commenced in the Caithness and South Orkney area carried out by the Institute of Geological Sciences (IGS -now BGS). Projected completion by 2015 Complete for Scotland, Wales, West Midlands, Northern England, Humber-Trent, Central England and East Anglia. Southern England ongoing. Soil samples average 1 per 2km square, sediment samples average 1 per 1.75 km square collected using 1:50 000 OS base maps. Geochemical mapping carried out according to International Geochemical Sampling methods described by IGCP 259.
