Propuesta de una guía para la evaluación de la exactitud posicional de datos espaciales

Abstract

The participants in the Technical Assistance Project (TAP2018) of the Pan American Institute for Geography and History entitled "Proposal for the adoption of methodologies and procedures for the evaluation of the quality of the geographic information for the Member States of the PAIGH", have decided to address the realization of a generic guide proposal for the evaluation of spatial data positional accuracy. In the elaboration of the proposal, the Deming cycle and a specific method have been applied to develop evidence-based guides. The assumed lineaments are, the alignment with the international standards of the ISO 19100 family and with the most widespread positional accuracy assessment methods in Latin America stand out. Likewise, the different assumed scopes are presented, both in terms of content and the generic perspective developed. In relation to the contents, the propositive part of the guide, which includes: a general method for the evaluation of positional accuracy, aspects related to execution, aspects related to statistics and meta-quality and a proposal for evaluation report; is the one that receives more dedication in this presentation.
