Abstract
The ‘Provincial Boundary’ layer, as part of the ‘Saskatchewan Administrative Boundary’ data set, contains the annual copy of the GIS layer taken from Information Services Corporation of Saskatchewan’s live geospatial database at the end of each calendar year. The data is comprised of the geospatial location and attributional information for the provincial boundary of Saskatchewan. This data is suitable for use in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Computer Aided Drawing Systems (CAD).
-
Purpose
The ‘Saskatchewan Administrative Boundary’ data set is distributed as the annual release of the provincial boundary as well as all provincial/national parks, rural municipalities, urban municipalities and Indian reserves that reside within the province of Saskatchewan. The data set is produced from Information Services Corporation’s live integrated geospatial database at of the end of each calendar year and is produced in conjunction with the ‘SaskGIS Cadastral’ and ‘SaskGrid TFM’ data sets.

Data Quality
- Attribute Accuracy:
-
- Attribute Accuracy Report:
- Attributes have been created by two means, depending on the attribute. Some, like the PPID, are generated by the system according to a set of rules. Others, have been manually entered (transcribed) from the source documents.
Transcribed values are checked manually on a sampling basis to identify errors. As well external sources of information have been used to validate the values wherever possible.
There is no independent quantification of the accuracy rate for the attribute values but it is believed to be very good.
- Logical Consistency Report:
- The data is free of duplicates and overlapping features.
- Completeness Report:
- The data is complete as of the production date for the current year (January 10th). Any changes made after the production date will be reflected in the following year's release.
- Positional Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
- The positions in this data set are correct to within 5-10 metres in the rural portions of the province and to within 1-2 metres in the urban portions. The relative accuracies are better than 5 metres in the rural areas and 1 metre in the urban areas for points that are near each other. The relative accuracies decrease as the distance between points increases.
-
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Value:
varies
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Explanation:
- The accuracy of the coordinate varies with the age of the survey, the quality of the survey and the quality of the control in the area of the survey. There has been no attempt to quantify these contributing factors. The coordinates were calculated using ties to geodetic control and information shown on legal plans of survey. If the error between the various plans was within acceptable limits, the ‘least squares’ adjustment method was applied to the data so as to manipulate it into the fabric. Where the error between plans was deemed unacceptable according to tolerance standards, other sources of information were used for adjustment, including but not limited to, historical survey plans, field measurements and aerial photographs.

Horizontal positional accuracy
The positions in this data set are correct to within 5-10 metres in the rural portions of the province and to within 1-2 metres in the urban portions. The relative accuracies are better than 5 metres in the rural areas and 1 metre in the urban areas for points that are near each other. The relative accuracies decrease as the distance between points increases.
Estimated accuracy: varies
How this value was determined:
The accuracy of the coordinate varies with the age of the survey, the quality of the survey and the quality of the control in the area of the survey. There has been no attempt to quantify these contributing factors. The coordinates were calculated using ties to geodetic control and information shown on legal plans of survey. If the error between the various plans was within acceptable limits, the ‘least squares’ adjustment method was applied to the data so as to manipulate it into the fabric.
