FAQs

How does the data quality of a SEDRIS object depend on the data quality of the sources used in its creation?

Each of the processing steps that is performed in the creation of a SEDRIS object has some effect on the quality of the result, but the individual impacts of the processing steps are not well understood, let alone the combined impacts.

How does the data quality of a Transmittal Root, or any other SEDRIS object within a transmittal, depend on the data quality of its components?

The data quality of the whole is certainly no better than the worst of its components.
