Section 2 Data Quality Information Top of full metadata Top of page
Attribute Accuracy Station origin and destination segments are generally reflective the branded name of the station. Mileages are based on the GIS software measurements of the polylines.
Logical Consistency The dataset is topologically 'clean'.
Completeness Entire corridor is covered.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy The positional accuracy of the dataset has not been tested under the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy. The positional accuracy of the dataset is estimated to be +/- 30 meters. As the dataset was created using heads-up digitizing from aerial orthophotography, the positional accuracy will be lower for the portions of the LRT line that travel underground.
Lineage The dataset was created by using heads-up digitizing referencing aerial photography.
