This presentation shows how well FME works with ISO standards in quality control and how an FME Server validation service can be used to support data management in a data distribution workflow.

How do I
know if the data
meet my quality
demands?

3. Definition of quality
 “The degree to which
a set of inherent
characteristics fulfills
requirements”
 ISO 9000:2000

4. Best quality?

5. Swedish Technology Journal
 “Short wheelbase and minimal overhang at the front and
rear, combined with high ground clearance makes it
extremely well suited to continue the drive where the road
ends. Indeed the Niva outperform the Porsche
Cayenne, which in comparison is clumsy as an
elephant with a backpack in a supermarket”.
(Teknikens värld, 2006)
 Comment:
 “If it is the terrain capabilities that is evaluated, the Niva
fulfils the quality requirements better than the Porsche.”

6. Best quality?
Which one of these view services delivers data with the
highest positional accuracy?

7. How to manage quality in my
SDI?

13. Data QC service - Pilot project
Objectives:
1. The QC service shall in a
standardized and traceable way
describe the quality of data
2. The QC service shall automatically
perform the controls
3. The QC process shall be the link
between the EPA:s manuals and
the result published by the data
host.

14. Applies to both
cars and bikes
Choose the right track for the solution

22. Finally
• During 2014 the validation service will
be launched in version 1.0.
• In Sweden a number of agencies have
started to work with Product
specifications and quality controls
according to ISO standards.
• Private companies are also showing
much more interest in data quality
issues than they did a couple of years
ago.
