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: We estimate the accuracy of the surface-feature interpretations to be better than +/- 100 m on the ground, based on informed judgement of the effects of all combined map-production errors. No formal accuracy check verified the interpretation; however, field-site data provided control on interpretation. Site locations were measured with handheld GPS units, whose error is estimated at better than +/- 10 m on the ground. The root mean-square error during georeferencing of the scanned image was less than +/- 35 m. 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: We initially compiled the data for the entire study area through LiDAR interpretation and verified them by direct field observations of about 400 field sites distributed across the map area. Result: unknown Report: Conceptual consistency: Measure description: The data comprise the surficial features for NTS 84D/NW derived from fieldwork and LiDAR, bare-earth digital elevation model data (unpublished) interpretation. Result: unknown Lineage: Lineage: Statement: We initially compiled the data for the entire study area through LiDAR interpretation and verified them by direct field observations of about 400 field sites distributed across the map area. Process step: Process step: Description: Our processes included 1. making a mosaic and relief shading the LiDAR for complete coverage of NTS 84D/NW; 2. digitizing polygons and line features across the LiDAR image of NTS 84D/NW using ArcGIS; 3. labelling spatial features; 4. checking the quality of the digital file; and 5. proofreading the text.
