Measuring quality in the production of databases

Abstract: Quality, quality control and assurance, and especially quality management are becoming more and more important in using online information services. In this paper, we will focus on the production of online bibliographic databases and discuss possible attributes responsible for the quality of this kind of online database. Starting with the acquisition of the original document, the quality of document analysis in the selection of the document, subject and bibliographical analysis are considered, whereby we give … Show more

“…Computer science and information technology (IT) communities have discussed and developed general criteria for database platform/system quality [Kuhn et al, 1994; Wang and Strong, 1996; Rittberger and Rittberger, 1997; Hoxmeier, 1998; Blakeslee and Rumble Jr, 2003]; however, there are no widely accepted systematic criteria and evaluation systems. Each domain has developed its own.…”

Mintz (1990) also covered various issues involved in database production, including the importance of documentation as a quality factor.…”
