Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
All attributes created during the data generation phase were verified by comparing the lines in both the dataset and the spatial coverage, but no formal tests were performed.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
These data are believed to be logically consistent, though no tests were performed. Line geometry is topologically clean.
Completeness_Report:
The coastline is dependant on the numerous sources used by the San Diego Association of Governments to constuct the bi-national coastline. The coastline might change as more accurate sources become available.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The data were obtain from the San Diego Association of Governments. The accuracy of the sources and compliation methodology is unknown, therefore, the horizontal accuracy is unknown.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The data were obtain from the San Diego Association of Governments. The accuracy of the sources and compliation methodology is unknown, therefore, the vertical accuracy is unknown.

Process_Description:
The San Diego Association of Governments Coastline coverage was obtained and re-projected into UTM, NAD83, Zone 11. The coverage was then compared to the SPOT image of the region. The coastline arcs were shifted where necessary to match the SPOT image.

While this data have been collected for use in spatial analysis and decision making, and for use in Geographic Information Systems, San Diego State University, Department of Geography, the Center for Earth Systems Analysis Research, and El Colegio de la Frontera Norte cannot guarantee the accuracy of the data. As with any spatial data, issues of scale, taxonomic classification, resolution, and precision will affect the perceived accuracy of the data. Users are ultimately responsible for the appropriate application of and use of this data.
