Reference metadata describe statistical concepts and methodologies used for the collection and generation of data. They provide information on data quality and, since they are strongly content-oriented, assist users in interpreting the data. Reference metadata, unlike structural metadata, can be decoupled from the data.

4.2. Quality management - assessment
Information for the UOE questionnaire is based on register data.
In Liechtenstein there exists an obligation for the Office of Education to register all children in compulsory education (art. 80 para. 1 Education law). Pupils who do an apprenticeship (ISCED 3, vocational) are registered at the Office for Vocational Training and Career Counseling, which is supervising this area of education (art. 27, para. 1, Vocational education law). Most pupils are registered by these two Offices. All other - mainly private - institutions send information to the Office of Statistics every year.
Concerning personnel data, most teachers are also registered at the Office of Education with all the necessary details. Additional data is sent to the Office of Statistics by different institutions on a yearly basis.
All the information was available in time and complete. Consistency checks did run without any noticeable problems. The general quality of the register data used can be rated as very good.
