# Quality indicator

## 1 Definition

A quality indicator shall provide sufficient information to allow all users to readily evaluate
the “fitness for purpose” of the data or derived product. A Quality Indicator may be a number,
set of numbers, graph, uncertainty budget, or a simple “flag”.

# Spatial completeness

## 1 Definition

The presence or absence of gaps, which are missing values in an otherwise continuous spatial data series.

# Spatial consistency

## 1 Definition

The spatial statistical properties of the data depend only on the underlaying physical processes and don’t depend on other factors such as fusing different products or sensors. Also, the validity of the assumptions of the procedure to produce information holds true across the whole spatial range.

# Spatial extent

## 1 Definition

The zone or region of space described by a geographic identifier in the form of a label or code, or by a bounding box. It consists in the maximum extent (the spatial boundary or limits) within which the user is requesting data.

The attribute represents the maximum spatial extent of the AOI, and in case the AOI is made of many discontinuous zones then it represents the maximum extent of the union of all the zones.

### Notes
- WIGOS metadata standard defines it as the typical spatial georeferenced volume covered by the observations

### Examples

- if a user is requesting information about degradation of African protected sites, then the AOIs are the protected sites, and the spatial extent is the African continent.

# Spatial reporting unit

## 1 Definition

The smallest spatial object of interest that may be used for reporting and for which the information should be aggregated.

### Notes
- WIGOS 2019 use ‘spatial reporting interval’ probably assuming the observations are reported on a grid with regular spacing/intervals.

# Temporal extent

## 1 Definition

The period during which data was collected, observations were made, or for which the model was run.

### Notes
- In W3C is the definition of temporal coverage
- Time period covered by a series of observations inclusive of the specified date/time indications (measurement history). Defined based on the beginning and end dates of observations.

# Timeliness

## 1 Definition

The period between the moment of requesting information to the moment of availability of information.

- Near Real-Time (NRT): delivered less than 3 hours after requesting information
- Slow-Time Critical (STC): delivered within 48 hours after requesting information
- Non-Time Critical (NTC): typically delivered within 1 month after requesting information

### Notes
- In some context also known as delivery time.
- C3S URDB describes timeliness as “the ability of the publish/subscribe middleware to provide the expected service within known time bounds”
