Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Data access standards are not a type of geospatial data standard. Geospatial data standards typically include data content standards, data format standards, and data quality standards.

What is the purpose of data quality standards in geospatial data?

  1. To ensure that geospatial data is accurate, complete, and consistent

  2. To facilitate the integration of geospatial data from various sources

  3. To promote the use of geospatial data and technologies in India

  4. To coordinate the activities of various government agencies involved in geospatial data collection and dissemination

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The purpose of data quality standards in geospatial data is to ensure that geospatial data is accurate, complete, and consistent.

Which of the following is not a type of data quality standard?

  1. Accuracy standards

  2. Completeness standards

  3. Consistency standards

  4. Timeliness standards

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Timeliness standards are not a type of data quality standard. Data quality standards typically include accuracy standards, completeness standards, and consistency standards.

What is the role of metadata in geospatial data quality?

  1. To provide information about the data, such as its source, accuracy, and completeness

  2. To facilitate the integration of geospatial data from various sources

  3. To promote the use of geospatial data and technologies in India

  4. To coordinate the activities of various government agencies involved in geospatial data collection and dissemination

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Metadata provides information about the data, such as its source, accuracy, and completeness, which is essential for assessing the quality of the data.

Which of the following is not a type of metadata standard?

  1. Content standards

  2. Format standards

  3. Transfer standards

  4. Discovery standards

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Transfer standards are not a type of metadata standard. Metadata standards typically include content standards, format standards, and discovery standards.

What is the purpose of data quality assessment in geospatial data?

  1. To identify errors and inconsistencies in the data

  2. To ensure that the data meets the requirements of the intended use

  3. To facilitate the integration of geospatial data from various sources

  4. To promote the use of geospatial data and technologies in India

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The purpose of data quality assessment in geospatial data is to identify errors and inconsistencies in the data.

Which of the following is not a type of data quality assessment method?

  1. Visual inspection

  2. Statistical analysis

  3. Topological analysis

  4. Metadata analysis

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Metadata analysis is not a type of data quality assessment method. Data quality assessment methods typically include visual inspection, statistical analysis, and topological analysis.

What is the role of data quality assurance in geospatial data?

  1. To ensure that geospatial data meets the requirements of the intended use
