Jeff Lyall's institutional profile places his work within GNS Science, later part of Earth Sciences New Zealand. The QMAP production history identifies him among the contributors to text production, GIS and cartography. His contribution belongs to the technical workforce that turned geological research into published maps and spatial data.
Mark Rattenbury and Mike Isaac's project history names Philip Carthew, Greg Drummond, David Heron, Biljana Lukovic, Jeff Lyall, Ben Morrison, Penny Murray and Belinda Smith Lyttle among those providing text production, GIS and cartography. Universities supplied thesis and unpublished mapping, while NIWA supplied offshore data. Digital image products were being released from 2004 and vector GIS products from 2006. By 2012 QMAP data could also be consumed through web map services, so a programme conceived as a national map series had become a reusable national data service.
