2 DATA QUALITY INFORMATION

   2.1 Attribute Accuracy  
       2.1.1 Attribute Accuracy Report: Attributes assigned to polygon features consist of
       unique User-Ids, quadrangle identification codes, and wetland labels. Linear attributes
       include a User-ID (to distinguish between quadrangle borders, the study area
       boundary, and wetland arcs), ARCVALUE to uniquely identify the quadrangle borders
       throughout the study area, and wetland labels.  Polygon and linear wetland labels were
       derived from photointerpretation techniques. Wetland labels were entered by
       superimposing the orthophoto label overlay upon a hard copy of the wetland coverage
       arcs and labels on a digitizing table. To minimize typographical errors, both polygon
       and linear wetland labels were entered utilizing a digitizer menu consisting of columns
       representing wetland label components. Label columns were concatenated in dBase IV
       to create a unified wetland cover type label.  Hard copies of wetland coverages were
       printed and labels were individually checked against the orthophoto overlays.  Arc
       User-IDs and ARCVALUE were visually checked on the computer screen for integrity
       and labeling accuracy.  
 
       2.1.2 Quantitiative Attribute Accuracy Assessment 
          2.1.2.1 Attribute Accuracy Value: Unknown 
          2.1.2.2 Attribute Accuracy Explanation: Polygon and linear wetland cover type
          labels were derived from photointerpretation techniques.  All photo overlays
          were checked by an independent interpreter for missing wetlands, uplands
          delineated as wetland, incorrectly delineated polygons, missing wetland labels,
          and incorrect wetland labels.  Photo overlays were directly compared to
          orthophoto overlays utilizing a Kail Reflecting Reducer/Enlarger. This process
          helped to verify the transfer of wetland cover type labels and to discover missing
          arcs. Digitized and scanned coverage hard copies were directly compared to
          orthophoto overlays to check for missing arcs. The process of digitally labeling
          the wetland coverages also helped to resolve some missing, incomplete, and
          nonsensical labels. A hard copy was made of each coverage and both arc and
          wetland labels were compared to the orthophoto overlays. Linear wetlands were
          color-coded to facilitate proofing. Finally, all wetland labels were printed in
          tabular form and proof-read to ensure both complete labeling of the coverage and
          logical label content. 
 
   2.2 Logical Consistency Report:  
       Polygons: All polygons within the study area were required to possess either a wetland
       or upland cover type (i.e., a SYSTEM entry and therefore a final NWILABEL entry
       were mandatory). During the labeling process, coverage polygons were checked for
       the presence of a label point and incomplete polygons were repaired. All wetlands
       were digitized (or for scanned files, transformed) into a blank quadrangle file
       containing quadrangle boundaries and tics and therefore only linear wetlands were
       allowed to exhibit a dangle nodes. 
       Arcs: Only linear wetlands received a wetland label.  Printouts were made
       color-coding linear wetlands to help discover those linear wetlands missing a label or
       those which were labeled improperly. 
       General: PC ARC/INFO's Dissolve program was used to identify adjacent polygons
       inappropriately possessing the same wetland label and to identify arcs that should have
       received a wetland label but did not. 
       Inter-coverage consistency: PC ARC/INFO's Edgematch routine was utilized to match
       arcs between coverages.  Wetland labels along adjacent coverages were proof-read
       using ARCVIEW 2.0 and corrected in PC ARC/INFO ARCEDIT.  
 
   2.3 Completeness Report: 
       Extensive quality assurance/quality control measures were taken for all steps of dataset
       creation.  It is expected however, because of the dataset complexity and the derivation
       of data from photointerpretation techniques, incorrectable error and a few mistakes
       may be present. Identifiable mistakes will be corrected periodically or as needed.  All
       wetland labels were reviewed for conformance to National Wetlands Inventory
       standards.  
 
   2.4 Positional Accuracy 
       2.4.1 Horizontal Positional Accuracy 
          2.4.1.1 Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: The outer arc of all individual
          quadrangle-based wetland files correspond to USGS 7.5' quadrangle boundaries.
          Wetlands were digitized or transformed (scanned files) into the quadrangle
          template with a UTM Zone 18 projection and metric coordinates.      Horizontal
          positional accuracy has error potential from several different steps:
          photointerpretation, transfer to orthophotos, and digitizing techniques. Maximum
          allowable RMS error was 0.003 for each digitizing session. While great care was
          taken at every step, no formal quantitative accuracy assessment was conducted.
          An attempt was made in all mapping operations (delineation, transfer, digitizing)
          to have horizontal accuracy to be correct to plus or minus one pencil width (about
          12 meters).

              2.4.1.2.1 Horizontal Positional Accuracy Value: (see section 2.4.1.1)

                 no formal assessment conducted (see section 2.4.1.1)  
 
       2.4.2 Vertical Positional Accuracy 
          2.4.2.1 Vertical Positional Accuracy Report: No vertical coordinates are
          associated with this data set. Topographic displacements of air photo delineations
          were corrected to match USGS orthophoto quadrangles using a B&L Stereo
          Zoom Transfer Scope.

/* John W. Barge  10/17/95 
 
/* Use this to snap coverage neatlines to a master quad index 
/* coverage.  If the coverage is single precision, it's better 
/* to snap to a single precision index coverage. 
/* Things to note: 
/*   Nodesnap and snapping tolerances should be the same. 
/*   Keep weedtolerance very low. 
/*   IntersectArcs MUST be off to avoid having existing arcs  
/*     split into new arcs. 
/* Procedure: 
/*   Start Arcedit, establish your edit coverage and your edit feature. 
/*   Select all arcs. 
/*   Run this macro to set up the environment. 
/*   Snap nodes to snap cover neatline arcs. 
/*   Select ONLY the neatline arcs.  Note: lpoly# and rpoly# = 1 won't 
/*     work at this point because polygon topology no longer exists. 
/*     Add a temporary item or use the user-id and give the neatlines 
/*     a unique value before the first snap (when poly topology exists) 
/*     to aid in selecting all of them. 
/*   Set SnapFeature to ARC ARC. 
/*   Snap the neatline arcs to the snap cover arcs. 
/*   There should be no additional arcs, and no arcs deleted. 
/*   Check that the number of arcs snapped equals the number of 
/*     neatline arcs selected.  If there are fewer arcs snapped, 
/*     it's probably because the snapping tolerance is too low. 
/*     Reselect internal# greater than 0 (snapped arcs get reset to 0) 
/*     Reset the mapextent to the selected set, clear display,  
/*     drawselect, then zoom it to the problem areas.  Measure the 
/*     distance to determine a new snapping tolerance.  Aselect 
/*     connected arcs, set snapfeature to 'node arc' or 'arc arc' 
/*     depending on what seems to be beyond the original tolerance. 
/*     Then snap the selected set and re-check the areas. 
/*   Save the changes.
