Positional Accuracy | As the coordinates are most likely not the true licence coordinates but rather simplified bounding box coordinates, the user must be aware that this dataset is a rough approximation only. Suggested maximum use scale is 1:250.000. |

Process Step | Version 2020-12-08: Data downloaded from MEITI http://www.myanmareiti.org/files/uploads/license_information2017-2018.xlsx on 2020-05-15. Data columns cleaned and standardized by OneMap Myanmar (obvious typos corrected, removal of whitespaces and line breaks, standardize value domains where possible, etc.). Matching of descriptive location information with island names from topographic maps where possible. Geometry created based on coordinate information columns by conversion of coordinate values to GIS data and connecting the coordinates with straight lines (in ArcMap using SRS EPSG4326) to pearl cultivation licence area polygons. Linking the MEITI 5th report attribute data to the licence block geometries. As OneMap Myanmar (as well as MEITI) has no access to the underlying individual licence contracts nor other verified reference data, the completeness and correctness of the data and cross-checking or reliable corrections cannot be undertaken. Preliminary assessments indicate that many coordinates in the licence information annex are simplified, inaccurate, wrong or completely missing. Thus, the generated licence geodata data inherits those data quality problems. In some cases OneMap Myanmar corrected obviously wrong coordinates using a “best-guess” approach. |
