Abstract: The NRN product is distributed in the form of thirteen provincial or territorial datasets and consists of two linear entities (Road Segment and Ferry Connection Segment) and three punctual entities (Junction, Blocked Passage, Toll Point) with which is associated a series of descriptive attributes such as, among others: First House Number, Last House Number, Street Name Body, Place Name, Functional Road Class, Pavement Status, Number Of Lanes, Structure Type, Route Number, Route Name, Exit Number. The development of the NRN was realized by means of individual meetings and national workshops with interested data providers from the federal, provincial, territorial and municipal governments. In 2005, the NRN edition 2.0 was alternately adopted by members from the Inter-Agency Committee on Geomatics (IACG) and the Canadian Council on Geomatics (CCOG). The NRN content largely conforms to the ISO 14825 from ISO/TC 204.

Abstract:
The NRN product is distributed in the form of thirteen provincial or territorial datasets and consists of two
linear entities (Road Segment and Ferry Connection Segment) and three punctual entities (Junction, Blocked
Passage, Toll Point) with which is associated a series of descriptive attributes such as, among others:
First House Number, Last House Number, Street Name Body, Place Name, Functional Road Class, Pavement Status,
Number Of Lanes, Structure Type, Route Number, Route Name, Exit Number. The development of the NRN was
realized by means of individual meetings and national workshops with interested data providers from the
federal, provincial, territorial and municipal governments. In 2005, the NRN edition 2.0 was alternately
adopted by members from the Inter-Agency Committee on Geomatics (IACG) and the Canadian Council on Geomatics
(CCOG). The NRN content largely conforms to the ISO 14825 from ISO/TC 204.
Purpose:
The National Road Network (NRN) provides quality geospatial and attributive data (current, accurate,
consistent), homogeneous and normalized of the entire Canadian road network.The NRN data serve as a
foundation for several applications. This common geometric base is maintained on a regular basis by closest
to the source organizations selected for their specific interests or for their ease in offering adequate,
up-to-date representations of road phenomena, in accordance with the GeoBase initiative. This common
infrastructure facilitates data integration of NRN data with supplementary data.

Supplemental Information:
In order to improve the quality of NRN datasets an observation reporting process is provided by the Canadian
Council on Geomatics (CCOG) and Natural Resources Canada. An Observation on data or metadata that do not
meet the product's standards and specifications will be treated as a Data Discrepancy. Any additional
comments are also welcome. The closest to source providers have agreed to invite users of the NRN GeoBase
data to communicate directly to them all observations related to their dataset

Explanation:
The physical implementation of the NRN product differs from the conceptual model in what concerned the
management of object metadata and the addition of certain attributes to the entity Road Segment.For
the Object Metadata, the conceptual model foresees two distinct series of metadata attributes
describing the respective sources used for the creation and the revision of the data. Only the
creation and revision dates were distinctly specified. When a revision date is indicated and a
geometric modification was applied on the object (with regard to the previous dataset edition), the
series of metadata attributes describes the sources used for revision. Otherwise, Object Metadata
attributes describe the sources used for creation.The street name, place name and address range were
also added as attributes on the geometry of the entity Road Segment.

Explanation:
NRN road representation corresponds to centerline of all non restricted usage roads (5 meters wide or
more, drivable and not blocked by an obstacle). Roads isolated from the main road network,
alleyways, resource and recreational roads and addressing information may not be included in some
NRN datasets.

Absolute external positional accuracy:
Measure description:
The geometric accuracy of objects is given as the difference between objects position in the dataset and
their real ground positions measured in reference to the geodetic network. The accuracy may vary from
one object to another. It is thus provided in attribute with each feature occurrence and is expressed
according to the Circular Map Accuracy Standard (CMAS). Standard circular error: Sc = 0.7071 (Sx^2 +
Sy^2)^1/2 where Sx: standard deviation in the X-axis, Sy: standard deviation in the Y-axis, Circular Map
Accuracy Standard: CMAS = 2.1460 Sc. The planimetric accuracy aimed for the product is 10 meters or
better. Under the data maintenance phase, no systematic validation of geometric and attributive
accuracies is performed on all NRN datasets. Data accuracy is evaluated according to the methods used to
control acquisition sources (GPS, imagery, photogrammetry, etc.) and the positioning errors inherent to
data extraction. The method for evaluating data accuracy is determined by the data provider.
