- Data Quality Information
- Logical Consistency Report
- The shapefile is converted to SDC (Smart Data Compression) format using either ESRI SDC Data Development Kit Professional 2 (DDKP2) or tools in ArcGIS. The SDC data set is then loaded into ArcSDE to verify and validate the geometry.
- Completeness Report
- After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials.
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
- The positional accuracy ranges from sub-meter (GPS derived) to 5 meters (1:50,000 National Topographic Data Base (NTDB) areas) or greater, in the case of Northern areas in Canada not covered by NTDB, namely, most of Nunavut, much of Northwest Territories and northern parts of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec.
