According to the growing recognition of the importance of global environmental research, many global datasets are being produced.The common shortcoming of the existing global datasets is the lack of accuracy data and other auxiliary data.This paper describes accuracies in three types of information, i. e. space, time, and attribute, of the global land surface data, and shows what auxiliary data including accuracies need to be recorded.Moreover, some examples are given to show how accuracy data are used in data processing.
