A foliation is called Riemannian if its holonomy pseudogroup consists of local isometries for some Riemannian metric. The main result of this paper is the following purely topological characterization of Riemannian foliations with dense leaves on compact manifolds: Suppose \((X,\mathfrak{F})\) is a transitive compact foliated space. Then \(\mathfrak{F}\) is a Riemannian foliation if and only if \(X\) is locally connected and finite-dimensional, \(\mathfrak{F}\) is strongly equicontinuous, and the closure of its holonomy pseudogroup is quasianalytic. This theorem is directly connected to the authors' result for pseudogroups [Math. Z. 263, No.~4, 725--774 (2009; Zbl 1177.53026)].
