Review and discuss adiwg_evaluationMethod codelist

[hmaier-fws]

This issue is a placeholder to review and discuss any outstanding issues related to the adiwg_evaluationMethod.yml codelist (see original isssue #40 and PR #53). It seems that this codelist is intended to represent the DQ_EvaluationMethod class names, however, in a more user friendly manner, intended to populate a mdEditor pick-list.

Items for review/discussion

• DQ_IndirectEvaluation is not in codelist
• DQ_EvaluationMethod is in the codelist, is that correct?

See:

• https://wiki.esipfed.org/DQ_EvaluationMethod
• https://standards.iso.org/iso/19157/-2/mdq/1.0/dataQualityEvaluation.xsd

DQ_IndirectEvaluation

The codelist does not include a DQ_IndirectEvaluation equivalent, however, it is described in the schema. See:

• https://wiki.esipfed.org/DQ_IndirectEvaluation
• https://standards.iso.org/iso/19157/-2/mdq/1.0/dataQualityEvaluation.xsd
• New Class - EvaluationMethod mdJson-schemas#226

DQ_EvaluationMethod

The DQ_EvaluationMethod seems to be an abstract parent class that must be one of:

• mdq:DQ_AggregationDerivation
• mdq:DQ_FullInspection
• mdq:DQ_SampleBasedInspection
• mdq:DQ_IndirectEvaluation

Can DQ_EvaluationMethod stand on it's own without specifying any of the above? If not, should it be in the codelist?

[dwalt]

Yes, EvaluationMethod is needed as a class. All the sub-classes are conceptual "type" classes. Only SampleBasedInspection contains elements: samplingScheme, lotDescription and samplingRatio. As a result, Stan denormalized these elements at the EvaluationMethod level. EvaluationMethod does not belong in the codelist, only the sub-classes. See adiwg/mdJson-schemas#226.

DataEvaluation is missing, please add. 19157:2023 has removed prefixes from class names. The current list is as follows:

• DataEvaluation
• AggregationDeriviation
• FullInspection
• SampleBasedInspection
• IndirectEvaluation
