Automation of Indonesian Topographic Data Quality Control Using Data Reviewer

Article 49 of Indonesian Law Number 4 Year 2011 states that Geospatial Information user has the right to know about the quality of data obtained. The statement shows that quality control (QC) must be done to every geospatial data produced by Geospatial Information Agency in order to ensure quality assurance (QA) to the data. Quality control is essential in spatial data production process to guarantee the data meet with specifications set. Implementation of QC achieved by fulfilling QC document of technical specification for each output. Spatial data QC can be done automatically and consistently using Data Reviewer in ArcGIS, by adapting to specification in QC document. This research mainly discusses the implementation of topographic mapping data quality control using ArcGIS Data Reviewer conducted by Geospatial Information Agency. These research results have been tested in QC implementation for Indonesian Topographic data production at medium scale in 2015 and proven by practices to support QC implementation in the steps of digitization and hypsography extraction.
