The method has been used to perform a farm-based analysis, revealing a wide heterogeneity of factors and levels that show the existence of specific data ‘patches’. The work proved to be able to increase awareness regarding effective data availability as a preliminary analysis to queries performed on relational data-bases which are not designed from a systems basis, and that can be considered valid for any survey-supplied data.</p> ER -
