Data Quality Indicators and Their Use in Data Base Systems,

Abstract

A Data Quality Indicator (DQI) is a descriptor used in computer file systems to systems to record the quality attribute of the data. A DQI can be maintained at the file level to describe the quality of the file, at the record level to describe the quality of a record, or at the field level to describe the quality associated with a specific occurrence of a data element. Data Quality Indicators are process time variables and their settings can determine which values participate in a computation and how that computation proceeds. (Author)
