4. The Areas_of_Land table of the CDM and are updated via the Land and Business Change Form.
5. The "All-b" nomenclature is used since both returns and imputed data are being used but only for those holdings that have been resolved to businesses.
6. The tables linking holdings to businesses within SIACS are land_interests and party_roles
7. While many of the 18080 orphan JAC(All) holdings appear in the SAF it is has not been possible to link these holdings to a business with a BRN. Not all areas of land, recognised as "holdings" in the JAC, form part of "agricultural businesses" for the purposes of payment administration. This may be on the basis of size(?) or since the owners/renters of the land are not applying for the particular support measures administered through the SAF.

9. Since the holdings cannot be resolved to a business - see Section 1.2.2.
10. Absolute Error is the sum of all the errors disregarding their sign.
11. Compensating Errors is the sum of all errors and allows over estimation (+ve numbers) in one holding to compensate for underestimation (-ve numbers) in another.
12. The nomenclature JAC or SAF = 0 is used in the chart for simplicity but in reality there is not a zero value recorded in these cases rather a null or no data value.
