COLLABORATIVE ASSESSMENT OF QUALITY INFORMATION
The quality assessment process was led by the ABS. The provision of quality information by ESA data custodians to the ABS was voluntary and done in a collaborative manner. The ABS worked with data custodians to populate quality assessment tools for ESA datasets and these remain the property of data custodians. Data custodians were encouraged to use the dataset quality assessment tools and results for their own planning purposes. Quality assessment tools were signed off by data custodians before the information was incorporated into the statistic assessment results. A high-level consultation process was used by the ABS to validate statistic assessment results. The consultation process compared the results for each statistic with the expectations of an expert community of ESA data custodians.
