Examining data quality

A total data quality management for credit risk: new insights and challenges

“…While fitness for use captures the essence of DQ, it is difficult to measure DQ using this broad definition (Batini and Scannapieco, 2006;Kahun et al, 2002). Thus, it has long been acknowledged that data are best described or analysed via multiple attributes or dimensions (Maydanchik, 2007;Shankaranarayanan and Cai, 2006;Tayi and Ballou, 1998). Yet, despite broad discussion in the DQ literature, there is no one definite set and exact; definition of DQ dimensions because DQ is context dependent (see Table 1).…”

“…On the other hand, in the external view, timeliness, relevance, content, importance and sufficiency are defined as data-related and timeliness, flexibility, format and efficiency are defined as system-related DQ dimensions.

“…As a response, in the last two decades, the issues of DQ have received a lot of attention, both by organisations worldwide and in academic literature. Several studies are exploring DQ challenges, focusing on DQ measurement and improvement (Batini and Scannapieco, 2006;Cappiello et al, 2006;Chen and Tseng, 2010;Chengalur-smith et al, 1999;Dejaeger et al, 2010;Delone and McLean, 1992;Eppler and Wittig, 2000;Fisher and Ballou, 2003;Jarke and Vassiliou, 1997;Kahun et al, 2002;Lee et al, 2002Lee et al, , 2006Madnick and Zhu, 2006;Maydanchik, 2007;Moraga et al, 2009;Paul et al, 1996;Panse and Ritter, 2009;Parssian and Jacob, 2004;Pipino et al, 2002;Raghunathan, 1999;Rahm and Do, 2000;Redman, 1998;Shankaranarayanan and Cai, 2006;Shankaranarayanan et al, 2003;Strong et al, 1997;Tayi and Ballou, 1998;Wand and Wang, 1996;Wang, 1998;Wang et al, 1995;Wang and Strong, 1996;Ware and Gandek, 1998;Watts et al, 2009). In practice, decision makers differentiate information from data intuitively, and describe information as data that has been processed.…”

Towards Quality-Oriented Data Warehouse Usage and Evolution

“…There has ben much research on the definition and measurement of data quality dimensions [18,15,17,13]. A very good review is found in [16].…”

“…Data quality has been defined as the fraction of performance over expectancy, or as the loss imparted to society from the time a product is shipped [3]. We believe, though, that the best definition is the one found in [13,11,17,14]: data quality is defined as "fitness for use". The nature of this definition directly implies that the concept of data quality is relative.…”
