Spatial data quality, which helps minimize the risks of data misuse in a specific decision-making context, is explained in this book that provides perspectives on how to evaluate the quality of vector or raster data for both the data producer and the data user. Key concepts covered include describing the quality of vector or raster data, enhancing its quality, evaluating and documenting it using metadata, communicating it to users, and relating it to the decision-making process.
