Metadata for Data Quality (MDQ)

Metadata for Data Quality (MDQ) Version: 1.0

mdq

Description

MDQ 1.0 is an XML Schema implementation derived from ISO 19157, Geographic Information - Data Quality, Clause 6.4. It includes elements for describing the quality of resources. The XML schema was encoded using the rules described in ISO/TS 19139:2007, Clause 8 and implementation approach from ISO/TS19115-3, Clause 8.

XML Schema for mdq 1.0

mdq.xsd is the XML Schema document to be referenced by XML documents containing XML elements in the mdq 1.0 namespace or by XML Schema documents importing the mdq 1.0 namespace. This XML schema includes (indirectly) all the implemented concepts of the mdq namespace, but it does not contain the declaration of any types.

Note
The XML Schema for mdq 1.0 are available here. A zip archive including all the XML Schema Implementations defined in ISO/TS 19115-3 and related standards is also available.

dataQualityElement.xsd implements the UML conceptual schema defined in ISO 19157, Geographic Information - Data Quality, Clause 6.4. It was created using the encoding rules defined in ISO 19118, ISO 19139, and the implementation approach described in ISO 19115-3 and contains the following classes (codeLists are bold): DQ_AbsoluteExternalPositionalAccuracy, DQ_AccuracyOfATimeMeasurement, AbstractDQ_Completeness, DQ_CompletenessCommission, DQ_CompletenessOmission, DQ_ConceptualConsistency, DQ_DataInspection, DQ_DataQuality, DQ_DomainConsistency, AbstractDQ_Element, DQ_FormatConsistency, DQ_GriddedDataPositionalAccuracy, AbstractDQ_LogicalConsistency, DQ_MeasureReference, DQ_NonQuantitativeAttributeCorrectness, AbstractDQ_PositionalAccuracy, DQ_QuantitativeAttributeAccuracy, DQ_RelativeInternalPositionalAccuracy, DQ_StandaloneQualityReportInformation, DQ_TemporalConsistency, AbstractDQ_TemporalQuality, DQ_TemporalValidity, AbstractDQ_ThematicAccuracy, DQ_ThematicClassificationCorrectness, DQ_TopologicalConsistency, and DQ_UsabilityElement

dataQualityEvaluation.xsd implements the UML conceptual schema defined in ISO 19157, Geographic Information - Data Quality, Clause 6.4. It was created using the encoding rules defined in ISO 19118, ISO 19139, and the implementation approach described in ISO 19115-3 and contains the following classes (codeLists are bold): DQ_AggregationDerivation, AbstractDQ_DataEvaluation, DQ_EvaluationMethod, DQ_EvaluationMethodTypeCode, DQ_FullInspection, DQ_IndirectEvaluation, and DQ_SampleBasedInspection

dataQualityImagery.xsd implements the UML conceptual schema defined in ISO 19157, Geographic Information - Data Quality, Clause 6.4.

metaquality.xsd implements the UML conceptual schema defined in ISO 19157, Geographic Information - Data Quality, Clause 6.4. It was created using the encoding rules defined in ISO 19118, ISO 19139, and the implementation approach described in ISO 19115-3 and contains the following classes (codeLists are bold): DQ_Confidence, DQ_Homogeneity, AbstractDQ_Metaquality, and DQ_Representativity
