Resource level  feature


Data quality report - Completeness commission
Measure description These data represent the authors' interpretation of the Quaternary geology of Sheboygan County and were digitized from analog sources. See the original published map and report for description of mapping techniques. The map boundary and shorelines for the digital data may differ somewhat from the original map base, but were selected for consistency and ease of use with other digital data for Sheboygan County and other surrounding counties.


Evaluation type  direct internal
Evaluation method Geologic line features and geologic unit area features were validated against geodatabase topology rules to ensure spatial consistency. Attribute values for fields "Type," "Feature," "Conf," and "UnitCode" were verified to be within the appropriate domain, and feature length and area measurements were checked for appropriate values based on map scale of data.
Conformance test results
Result explanation The positional accuracy of the features is based on their compilation to base maps that meet National Map Accuracy Standards. These geologic unit area features are bounded by geologic line features having a confidence qualifier which includes a positional accuracy component. Overall, these data are judged to be accurate at 1:100,000 scale and not intended for site-specific use.


Data quality report - Quantitative attribute accuracy
Evaluation type  direct internal
Evaluation method Attribute accuracy was tested by comparing the source materials to hard copy plots and symbolized on-screen displays of the digitized data.
