A data quality statement is a report on multiple quality dimensions to assess the quality of the data for reporting against the indicator or data source.

The fields in this item are based on the ABS Quality Declaration and can be linked to either an indicator or a data source. This enables metadata in the form of the data quality statement to be associated with data collections for indicators and data sources.

It is not compulsory to use a data quality statement with a data source or indicator, but is highly recommended.

The linking of indicator with a data quality statement provides more robust information to the user of METEOR.
