Positional Assessment of the expected error or range of error, of the data

Accuracy: objects location. Described as the difference (in meters)
between measured quantities and true positions (horizontal
and vertical when applicable). Method to assess depends on
data type, e.g., RMS for image and grid data, GPS techniques.
If accuracy cannot be precisely determined, an intuitive
accuracy based on experience may be acceptable.
The project’s analysis on positional accuracy of the data shows
that it is accurate.

Attribute Assessment of values or attributes assigned to features in the

Accuracy: data in relation to the reality. Attribute accuracy can be
described as percentage of correct or incorrect values of
attributes. Usually based on a sample of the data (through field
