LCMS Levels Guidance

Introduction

LCMS employs a number of cross-walking methods to combine classes in different ways to meet the need for varying levels of thematic detail. In general, products with higher numbers of classes exhibit lower levels of accuracy. Users should use the level that best matches their error tolerance and need for thematic detail.

This document will provide guidance for crosswalking the delivered LCMS products to these standard Levels. Each level will also have a respective accuracy report provided.


Levels Tables

Below are tables illustrating the relationship between the levels and how they are binned
