Quality of Spatial Data

Open Data and Big Data are growing. Every day more open spatial data sets are made available. The very criterion to use or not use any data set is data quality. We define quality as: Fitness for Use. In other words: does the data serve the needs of the user? The quality of data becomes more important every day. Wageningen Environmental Research helps to assess that quality and to select the right data set for the user's needs.
