package org.opengis.metadata.quality

Description of the quality of geographic data. A data quality evaluation can be applied to data set or a subset of data sharing common characteristics so that its quality can be evaluated.

Data quality objects are described in the ISO 19157 specification. The following table shows the class hierarchy, together with a partial view of aggregation hierarchy:
