Which action is NOT part of the georeferencing workflow?

Creating a new dataset is not typically considered part of the georeferencing workflow. Georeferencing involves aligning spatial data to a known coordinate system, which is usually achieved through processes such as creating links between control points in the source image and their corresponding points in a reference map, as well as evaluating these links for accuracy. Resampling data may also be involved if there is a need to adjust the resolution or to rectify the data after georeferencing.

In georeferencing, the focus is on manipulating existing datasets to achieve spatial accuracy, rather than generating new datasets from scratch. The primary goal is to ensure that the spatial data you are working with can be properly analyzed in conjunction with other geographic data layers, ultimately improving the reliability and usability of the GIS project. Therefore, while creating links and evaluating them are integral parts of this process, generating a new dataset does not fit within the traditional steps followed in georeferencing.
