| Section 2 | Data Quality Information | Top of full metadata | Top of page | |
| Attribute Accuracy | The accuracy of the right of ways is based on the creation of the plat by referencing it to the section corners and quarter section corners. | |||
| Logical Consistency | Data is topologically correct where intended. Polygons are closed. | |||
| Completeness | Ongoing project associated with parcel mapping. | |||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | Unknown but creation based on coordinate geometry and certified section corners. | |||
| Lineage | Data is derived from Burlington Northern Santa Fe Right of Way Maps and Right of Way Maps obtained from the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Where applicable, legal descriptions of the parcel were created using coordinate geometry and referenced to established section or quarter section corners. The BNSF maps have a higher degree of accuracy and therefore were used when available. The MnDOT ROW maps with and location of changes in width at certain distances from a base point. Using both documents together, the accuracy has been increased. | |||
