028 * Accuracy and correctness of attributes and classification of features.
029 * More specifically:
030 *
031 * <ul>
032 *   <li>accuracy of quantitative attributes,</li>
033 *   <li>correctness of non-quantitative attributes,</li>
034 *   <li>correctness of the classifications of features and their relationships.</li>
035 * </ul>
036 *
037 * Instances should be one of the following subtypes:
038 * <ul>
039 *   <li>{@link ThematicClassificationCorrectness}: comparison of the classes assigned to features or their attributes to a universe of discourse;</li>
040 *   <li>{@link NonQuantitativeAttributeCorrectness}: measure of whether a non-quantitative attribute is correct or incorrect;</li>
041 *   <li>{@link QuantitativeAttributeAccuracy}: closeness of the value of a quantitative attribute to a value accepted as being true.</li>
042 * </ul>
