Abstract

We want to better understand geo-information production lines so that we can represent data quality concerns on our maps. And, we must be concerned that not only do we get the right data to the user but that the user gets the data right. We need research to find optimal geo-information production lines, to assess data quality, to link quality to intended uses, and to visualize the results in effective ways. This may involve using fuzzy and crisp symbols, or employing possibility and probability values.
