Understanding mappingprecision and accuracy
Precision implies the degree to which a measurement is refined
Accuracy that the measurement taken is correct within the precision indicated

Understanding mappingscale
Precision and accuracy are functions of how data are produced or gathered
The perfect map is not 100% accurate or precise. It is FIT FOR PURPOSE

Understanding mappingrepresenting the world
The map is only a representation of the world. There are 3 main transformations that are required to transform the world into a map:
•projection•generalization•referencing
![Page 8: This power point presentation and its contents are copyright of the Archaeology Data Service and WGK (2002) Recap Mapping and Error Law and IPR Metadata](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cdc5503460f949a7016/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Understanding mapping:projection
There are a variety of different projections used to turn the 3-dimensional world into 2 dimensions
![Page 9: This power point presentation and its contents are copyright of the Archaeology Data Service and WGK (2002) Recap Mapping and Error Law and IPR Metadata](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cdc5503460f949a7016/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Understanding mapping:projection
•Flat Earth models are appropriate for local survey mapping up to about 10km in range•Spheroid transformations are appropriate for navigation across longer distances•Ellipsoid transformations are necessary for large scale mapping (or mapping that uses GPS)
BUT
•The earth is irregular so there are different reference ellipsoids, spheroids and datums used for this transformation

Understanding mapping:projection
Azimuthal projectionCylindrical projection
Conic projectionDifferent projections have their own characteristics and uses. They all distort the properties of the Earth, but do so differently.

Understanding mapping:error
There are six main types of distortion in mapping:
•shape•distance•area•direction•scale•angle
![Page 12: This power point presentation and its contents are copyright of the Archaeology Data Service and WGK (2002) Recap Mapping and Error Law and IPR Metadata](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cdc5503460f949a7016/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Understanding mapping:error
Different types of mapping handle map distortion differently
•conformal maps can be used to describe shape well, but not area•equal distance maps compromise everything but distances•azimuthal maps protect angles

Understanding mapping:error
distortion is not constant
Azimuthal projections distort from the centre
Cylindrical projections distort from the equator
Scale is only exact on OS mapping at 2 central axes 180km either side of the central meridian
180 KM W 180 Km E
Error at central meridien = !:0.9996
Error = 1:1
Error = 1:1
Error increases as a function of distance from the equator
Error increases as a function of distance from the equator

Understanding mapping:error
The point is that the geo-spatial footprint necessarily contains error. It can’t be avoided, but can be managed.
This impacts on any questions we ask of our GIS and the nature of the answers that we get back.

Understanding mapping:generalisation
For mapping to be useful certain known elements of the world are discarded. The greater the scale, the more is discarded. Shape, direction and connection may be lost.
