Out of 575 Cepheids and 2322 RR Lyr candidates from the Gaia DR1 samples located in the OGLE footprint in the sky, 559 Cepheids and 2302 RR Lyr stars are genuine pulsators of these types. The number of misclassified stars is low indicating reliable performance of the Gaia data pipeline. The completeness of the Gaia DR1 samples of Cepheids and RR Lyr stars is at the level of 60-75% as compared to the OGLE Collection dataset. This level of completeness is moderate and may limit the applicability of the Gaia data in many projects. Description: To assess the Gaia dataset of Cepheids and RR Lyr stars presented in the Gaia DR1 (Clementini et al., 2016A&A...595A.133C 2016A&A...595A.133C, Cat. I/337) we cross-identified the sample of 3194 variable stars presented on the final Gaia pipeline list (599 Cepheid and 2595 RR Lyr candidates) with the OGLE detected objects using RA/DEC coordinates provided within Gaia DR1.
