**Note that version 1 of the Quebec building framework incorporates the data included in the raw building footprints originally released. However, the original data will remain accessible at the following link: https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/empreintes-de-batiments ** * * This first version of the Quebec building reference framework consists of a continuous layer, created from a bird's eye view and presented in the form of vector polygons. This work is part of the process aimed at providing Quebec with a rich and exhaustive database documenting the built environment. This version incorporates geometries from various partnerships and produced using artificial intelligence techniques. Geographic coverage corresponds to the information available at the time of publication and will be extended as new data becomes available. It can be viewed on** [geographic coverage map] (https://diffusion.mern.gouv.qc.ca/diffusion/RGQ/Vectoriel/Theme/Local/ReferentielBati_V1/Document/CouvertureGeographique_RefBati_v1.pdf) **. For more details on the production techniques and source data used, consult the** [list of attributes] (https://diffusion.mern.gouv.qc.ca/diffusion/RGQ/Vectoriel/Theme/Local/ReferentielBati_V1/Document/ListeAttributs_RefBati_v1.pdf) **. ## #Caractéristiques of the levels of completeness The quality of the geometric data may vary depending on the level of completeness (NC)\ * reached and could differ from the reality in the field, both in terms of representation and in terms of authenticity. Version 1 incorporates data from NC-0 and NC-1 corresponding to the following descriptions: * NC-0: Raw vector geometries, from various sources, with no quality control performed; * NC-1: Manually validated geometries (adjustments, additions, deletions).\ * _Each level of completeness (NC) characterizes the level of editing, validation, and descriptive content of the dataset. Thematic information will enhance the dataset_.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
