Method Detail

getNamesOfMeasure

@UML(identifier="nameOfMeasure",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
Collection<? extends InternationalString> getNamesOfMeasure()
Name of the test applied to the data.


getMeasureIdentification

@UML(identifier="measureIdentification",

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

Date[] getDate()
Deprecated. Replaced by getDates().

Date that the metadata was created. The array length is 1 for a single date, or 2 for a range. Returns null if this information is not available.


getDates

@UML(identifier="dateTime",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
Collection<? extends Date> getDates()
Date or range of dates on which a data quality measure was applied. The collection size is 1 for a single date, or 2 for a range. Returns an empty collection if this information is not available.

Since:
GeoAPI 2.1

getResult

Result getResult()
Deprecated. Replaced by getResults().

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.


getResults

@UML(identifier="result",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19115)
Collection<? extends Result> getResults()
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.

Since:
GeoAPI 2.1
