Abstract
    Common data quality problems observed in OBIS are described. BSCAN, a density-based clustering algorithm for large spatial data bases is employed to identify geographical outliers in federated data from a public Web service on the OBIS Portal. The algorithm is shown to be effective and efficient for this purpose. The relationship between outliers and erroneous data points are discussed and the future plan to develop an operational data quality checking tool based on this algorithm is discussed.
