Data quality info:

Data quality: Scope: Scope: Hierarchy level: Scope code: dataset Report: Absolute external positional accuracy: Name of measure: Horizontal Positional Accuracy Measure description: Evaluation method description: Since the thalweg represents a geological interpretation, its absolute positional accuracy cannot be determined. However, the thalweg line is estimated to fall within 250 m of the bedrock low, as depicted on the bedrock topography map. Result: Quantitative result: Value unit: Base unit: Identifier: Units system: xlink: http://www.bipm.org/en/si/ Value: Report: Completeness commission: Result: unknown Report: Completeness omission: Evaluation method description: Thalweg data are shown only for the major buried valleys. Result: unknown Report: Conceptual consistency: Measure description: Visual checks have been made of the data by the author and plotted versions of the data have been checked by a third party. Line directions match flow direction, features are attributed. Result: unknown Lineage: Lineage: Statement: Thalweg data are shown only for the major buried valleys. Process step: Process step: Description: The thalwegs were digitized in the paleoflow direction in ArcMap after completion of the bedrock topography contouring. Date and time: 2005-01-01T00:00:00
