WI & Amendments (Quality Harmonization Project) Project Leader: Erik Stenborg Editor: David Danko Type: Preliminary Work (Stage 0 Project) Meetings: –Ad hoc meeting in Stockholm, –1 st meeting in Montreal, /13 –Discussion in WG9 meeting in Orlando,  Project Leader will draft a report : Report is made by PL, confirmed by Convenor : N2072 Review Summary –Discussion in WG9 meeting in Riyadh, Recommendation of Review Summary is confirmed

Report (p.4 in N 2072) (1) scope (concerns a quality report for a dataset) data quality scope (concerns, for a certain data quality subelement, homogenous parts of the dataset for which quality is reported difference This fundamental difference was evidently not satisfactorily explained in ISO 19113:2002 or ISO 19114:2003. ISO is less suited to deal with datasets with inhomogeneous quality than was envisioned by the teams working on ISO 19113/14 Several other differences have also been observed as a result of the initial one. Annex D contains some of the observed differences. This stage 0 project was initialised by Sweden as a result of observed discrepancies between ISO 19113:2002 and ISO 19115:2003.

Report (2) Future reviews of the standards concerned may well be accomplished during the systematic reviews. Review of ISO is however only meaningful if agreement is reached on harmonisation among Structure of Annexes: Annexes A, B and C show the intended work, Annex D some of the initially observed differences, Annex E a UML diagram illustrating the quality concept of ,

Recommendations Recommendations: this stage 0 project should be cancelled its intended work should be performed within the systematic reviews.  systematic review of sould be issued after the plenary voting period be shortened, from 6 to 5 months  new actions can be made in Rome timely.
