This element ‘General description of origin’ describes the history of the process; the origin of data and/or how the dataset was made. Information about quality can be listed here too, in fact information about quality may be listed several times, however, only one set of quality information should be listed that is related to the complete dataset. In this set the element general description of origin is listed too.


Examples:

  1. Plans and projects are provided by the various authorities (government, Provinces, Municipalities and Water Authorities).
  2. Model calculations based upon drillings, soundings of the DINO database
  3. All the roads that are managed by road managers, such as the government, provinces, municipalities and water authorities are listed, as long as they have a street name or number. Separate walking or cycling paths and unpaved roads are also listed in the NWB National Highways, if they have a street name. If a road has separate lanes, as is most frequently the case for National Highways, then these are listed as separate road sections.
  4. The concentration maps which have a resolution of 1 x 1 km are based upon a combination of model calculations and measurements.
