Collaborative Knowledge Management Through Product Lifecycle: A Computational Perspective

The authors, all leaders in the data quality field for many years, discuss how to make the economic case for data quality and the importance of getting an organization’s leaders on board. They outline different approaches for assessing data, both subjectively (by users) and objectively (using sampling and other techniques). They describe real problems and solutions, including efforts to find the root causes of data quality problems at a healthcare organization and data quality initiatives taken by a large teaching hospital. They address setting company policy on data quality and, finally, they consider future challenges on the journey to data quality.
