Discussion from March 28, 2006

What dimensions of quality should be considered?

Quality control
Error bar
Contamination (weather, clouds)
Instrument error
Cross instrument consistency
Subjective scaling (e.g. quality judgement with range 0-5)
Quality assurance (someone tags it as valid)
  • How can we enforce these standards within the Earth Information Exchange?
  • What common data quality standards can the Federation offer within the Earth Information Exchange?
  • What 3rd party ratings can we support?
  • Are there similar ratings for "data services"?
