Data Quality Information:
Logical Consistency Report:
The digital vector data are contiguous, topologically correct polygons as built and enforced using ArcGIS software. Feature boundaries have been adjusted so they align with like features in adjacent study areas (edgematched). Line features intersect only where intended. The authoring geologist made visual checks of the attributes and a third party checked plotted versions of the data.
Completeness Report:
Data were compiled initially through air photo interpretation and were verified in selected locations during field mapping. No fewer than 300 field sites were visited during the course of mapping.
Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
Accuracy of the surface feature interpretations is estimated 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 was done to verify 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 RMS error during georeferencing of the scanned image was less than +/- 35 m.
Lineage:
Process Step:
Process Description:

Process includes

1. air photo interpretation

2. scanned each 1:60 000 air photo in full colour at 300 dpi JPEG

3. georeferenced and edgematched images using 1:20 000 scale provincial digital base data (i.e.: hydrography and roads) for control

4. digitized line features from each image individually, reconciled edge discrepancies

5. labelled spatial features

6. quality check, proofreading
