The dataset quality assessment tool allowed quality information to be assessed against standards set for the purpose of ESA for each dimension of the ABS Data Quality Framework. Dataset quality assessment tools were assessed according to the statistic that they contributed to on the 2013 ESA list. For example, the relevance section focused on the degree to which datasets produced information relevant to the essential statistics to which they contributed. This was assessed based on responses to questions generated from the description for the statistic. Where multiple datasets existed for an essential statistic, only one dataset needed to provide information on each aspect of that statistic, in recognition of the fact that not all aspects of a statistic can necessarily be derived from a single dataset source. The quality assessment tool also measured how and if datasets captured the critical elements of each essential statistic to which they contribute. This included whether they met specific critical spatial levels, critical disaggregations and the critical frequency of release identified in the 2013 list of ESA.
