Verification
Current Methodology:
- Automated verification checks are executed against each record in LRT.
- The automated verification checks compare the reported location to the reported state, county and
postal code. The location is compared against the following geometries using Oracle Spatial:
- bounding box of the reported state-county
- polygon of the reported state-county
- bounding box of the reported postal code
- polygon of the reported postal code - Passing an automated verification check will reduce the MOD_SCORE value of the record. The Pick Best Process is more likely to return a record with a lower MOD_SCORE value than a higher mod_score value.
- Manual verification checks are executed as necessary.
- Currently, there is a single manual verification check. Records with the manual verification check will always be identified through the Pick Best Process.
