Field Summary
`static EvaluationMethodType` `DIRECT_EXTERNAL` Method of evaluating the quality of a dataset based on inspection of items within the dataset, where reference data external to the dataset being evaluated is required.
`static EvaluationMethodType` `DIRECT_INTERNAL` Method of evaluating the quality of a dataset based on inspection of items within the dataset, where all data required is internal to the dataset being evaluated.
`static EvaluationMethodType` `INDIRECT` Method of evaluating the quality of a dataset based on external knowledge.

Method Summary
`CodeList[]` `family()` Returns the list of enumerations of the same kind than this enum.
`static EvaluationMethodType` `valueOf(String code)` Returns the EvaluationMethodType that matches the given string, or returns a new one if none match it.
`static EvaluationMethodType[]` `values()` Returns the list of `EvaluationMethodType`s.
