Abstract

Geographic information is present in our daily lives. This pervasiveness is also at the origin of several problems, including heterogeneity and trustworthiness - of the data sources, of the data providers, and of the data products derived from the original sources. Most efforts to improve this situation concentrate on establishing data collection and cura-tion standards, and quality metadata. This paper extends these efforts by presenting an approach to assess quality of geospatial data based on provenance.
