Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Attributes for the 110th Congressional District data set were created in a consistent manner using similar tolerances.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Value: unknown
Logical_Consistency_Report:
All node-link and polygon topological relationships were created and verified using ARC/INFO, a Geographic Information System. The unique identifiers were verified using ARC/INFO. The data was then converted to a shapefile format.
Completeness_Report:
This data set is composed of the 437 Districts having voting representation plus seven districts without voting rights including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
