Course description:

Adoption of theoretical knowledge and empirical skills of determination, valuation and presentation of geoinformation and geodata quality. Active empirical application of processes, procedures and methods of determination, valuation and presentation of geoinformation and geodata quality. Learning outcomes at the level of the programme to which the course contributes <ul><li>Demonstrate competences in theoretical principles, procedures of computing and visualising the surveying data. <li>Demonstrate competences in regulations and administrative framework important for geodesy and geoinformatics, the regulations related to copy right, publishing and exchange of spatial data. <li>Apply knowledge of mathematics and physics for the purpose of recognizing, formulating and solving of problems in the field of geodesy and geoinformatics. <li>Exercise appropriate judgements on the basis of performed calculation processing and interpretation of data obtained by means of surveying and its results. <li>Communicate the results obtained by means of geodesy and geoinformation to clients and experts of geodetic and other related professions <li>Take responsibility for continuing academic development in the field of geodesy and geoinformatics, or related disciplines, and for the development of interest in lifelong learning and further professional education.</ul> Learning outcomes expected at the level of the course <ul><li>Define the general framework of international and national processes related to manufacturing quality of surveying products with a focus on the production of geospatial information and geodata; and taking into account the aspect of analogue and digital production technologies. <li>Use appropriate technical terminology in the field of geoinformation and geodata quality in Croatian and English. <li>Declare contemporary principles, concepts, methods and procedures for determining the quality and presentation of geoinformation and geodata quality. <li>Explain the methodology, concepts and content of standardization processes in products production and products definition as a prerequisite for determining and presenting the quality of geoinformation and geodata. <li>Compare the different types and ways of standards systematization and relations between the standards and specifications of geoinformation, geodata and geoinformation products. <li>Systematize in accordance with ISO and Croatian standards quality components to describe the quality of geoinformation and geodata (numerical and descriptive), the quality elements of geoinformation and geodata, descriptors and measures of the quality of geoinformation and geodata. <li>Systematize in accordance with ISO and Croatian standards methods of samples determining for the purpose of evaluating and labeling geoinformation and geodata quality (direct and indirect, non-automatic and automatic, internal and external). <li>Develop a plan to evaluate the quality of geoinformation and geodata, including definition of processes, procedures and methods to evaluate the quality with the refinement of relevant numerical and descriptive elements of quality. <li>Implement the evaluation of the geoinformation and geodata quality, and reporting on the outcome of quality determination using a standardized framework for reporting (report on quality, metadata). <li>Describe the Croatian national geoinformation and geodata production system, the specifics of the system, national geoinformation products, data sets and Croatian national quality control system.</ul> Course content broken down in detail by weekly class schedule (syllabus) Lectures (15 weeks with two lecture hours per week): <ol><li>Overview of the teaching process methodology and implementation, an overview of the course theoretical content, an overview to the teaching performance and evaluation standards. Operational details necessary for the teaching. <li>Introduction to the quality of geodata and geoinformation. <li>Methodological and technological basis for the creation and collection of geoinformation: yesterday, today and tomorrow. <li>Basic definitions of geodata, geoinformation and GIS, relationship and properties of analog and digital sets of geodata. <li>The fundamental concepts and methodologies for determining and evaluating of the geodata and geoinformation quality. <li>Standardization of geodata and geodata production. National and internacional standards and their classification. <li>Principles and quality components for determining and assessing the quality of geodata and geoinformation. <li>Definition and classification of quality elements and sub-elements of geodata and geoinformation. <li>Geodata and geoinformation quality elements and sub-elements descriptors. <li>Procedures and processes for determining and evaluating the quality of geodata and geoinformation. <li>Direct and indirect methods of determining and evaluating the quality of geodata and geoinformation. Manual and automatic methods. <li>Principles and methods of sampling geodata in order to determine and evaluate the quality of geodata and geoinformation. <li>Measures of quality and their classification. Geodata and geoinformation specifications as a necessary basis for determining quality. The relationship between internal and external quality. <li>Croatian national model of geodata and geoinformation production, geodata national specifications and quality control system. <li>Review and analysis of the results of the teaching process.</ol> Exercises (15 weeks, 2 excercise hours per week): <ol><li>Overview of the teaching process methodology and implementation, an overview of the course exercises content, an overview to the teaching performance, evaluation standards and operational details necessary for the exercises. <li>Project no. 1: Analysis of the Law of State Survey and Real Estate Cadastre from the viewpoint of geodata and geoinformation and quality standards. <li>Project no. 2: Bylaw of topographic surveying and state maps production from the viewpoint of geodata and geoinformation and quality standards. <li>Project no. 3: Public and private sector in the production of geodata and geoinformation. <li>Project no. 4: Standardization of geodata, geoinformation and geodata products. <li>Project no. 5: Analysis of geodetic spatial reference systems from the viewpoint of absolute and relative positioning quality <li>Colloquium no. 1. <li>Project no. 6: Evaluation and presentation of geodata quality in accordance with the quality element "positional accuracy" and quality subelement "absolute accuracy". <li>Project no. 6: Evaluation and presentation of geodata quality in accordance with the quality element "positional accuracy" and quality subelement "absolute accuracy". <li>Project no. 7: Evaluation and presentation of geodata quality in accordance with the quality element "completeness" and quality subelement "omission". <li>Project no. 8: Evaluation and presentation of geodata quality in accordance with the quality element "completeness" and quality subelement "comission". <li>Project no. 9: Evaluation and presentation of geodata quality in accordance with the quality element "thematic accuracy" and quality subelement "accuracy of classification". <li>Project no. 9: Evaluation and presentation of geodata quality in accordance with the quality element "thematic accuracy" and quality subelement "accuracy of classification". <li>Colloquium no. 2. <li>Review and analysis of the results of the exercises teaching process.</ol> Screening student work <ul><li>Class attendance - 1 ECTS <li>Tests - 1 ECTS <li>Oral exam - 1 ECTS <li>Written exam - 1 ECTS <li>Project - 1 ECTS</ul>
