DATA_QUALITY_INFORMATION
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Data are based on Landsat TM immagery over the period
20000421 to 20030430. Paved and Major Roads are acurate.
Other Roads are more than 90% acurate. Accuracy of tracks
can not be assessed. Tracks also includes various classes
from small, all-weather roads to footpaths.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Completeness_Report:
Paved and Major Roads are 99% complete. Other Roads are
more more than 90% complete. Completeness of tracks can not
be assessed.
