Method Detail

getNamesOfMeasure

@UML(identifier="nameOfMeasure",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
Collection<InternationalString> getNamesOfMeasure()

Name of the test applied to the data.

getMeasureIdentification

@UML(identifier="measureIdentification",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
Identifier getMeasureIdentification()

Code identifying a registered standard procedure, or null if none.

getMeasureDescription

@UML(identifier="measureDescription",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
InternationalString getMeasureDescription()

Description of the measure being determined.

getEvaluationMethodType

@UML(identifier="evaluationMethodType",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
EvaluationMethodType getEvaluationMethodType()

Type of method used to evaluate quality of the dataset, or null if unspecified.

getEvaluationMethodDescription

@UML(identifier="evaluationMethodDescription",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
InternationalString getEvaluationMethodDescription()

Description of the evaluation method.

getEvaluationProcedure

@UML(identifier="evaluationProcedure",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
Citation getEvaluationProcedure()

Reference to the procedure information, or null if none.

getDate

@UML(identifier="dateTime",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
Date[] getDate()

Date or range of dates on which a data quality measure was applied. The array length is 1 for a single date, or 2 for a range. Returns null if this information is not available.

getResult

@UML(identifier="result",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19115)
Result getResult()

Value (or set of values) obtained from applying a data quality measure or the out come of evaluating the obtained value (or set of values) against a specified acceptable conformance quality level.
