TL;DR
The goal of this chapter is to show and discuss the perspectives that make data and information (D&I) quality an issue worth being investigated and understood.
Abstract
The Search query "data quality" entered into Google Google returns about three million pages, and searching similarly for the term "information quality" (IQ) returns about one and a half million pages, both frequencies showing the increasing importance of data and information quality. The goal of this chapter is to show and discuss the perspectives that make data and information (D&I) quality an issue worth being investigated and understood. We first (Sect. 1.2) highlight the relevance of information quality in everyday life and some of the main related initiatives in the public and private domains. Then, in Sect. 1.3, we show the multidimensional nature of information quality by means of several examples.

Data mining is the search for new, valuable, and nontrivial information in large volumes of data, a cooperative effort of humans and computers that is possible to put data-mining activities into one of two categories: Predictive data mining, which produces the model of the system described by the given data set, or Descriptive data mining which produces new, nontrivials information based on the available data set.

The tutorial is focused on some of the theoretical issues that are relevant for data integration: modeling a data integration application, processing queries in data integration, dealing with inconsistent data sources, and reasoning on queries.

It is argued that keeping in mind all five of these roles that a representation plays provides a usefully broad perspective that sheds light on some longstanding disputes and can invigorate both research and practice in the field.

A framework for analysis of data freshness
154 Citations2004Mokrane Bouzeghoub
This paper proposes a taxonomy based upon the nature of the data, the type of application and the synchronization policies underlying the multi-source information system, and analyzes the way freshness is defined and used in several types of systems.
What Is Knowledge Representation?
110 Citations1987Nick Cercone, Gordon McCalla
This chapter overviews eight major approaches to knowledge representation: logical representations, semantic networks, procedural representations, logic programming formalisms, frame-based representations, production system architectures, and knowledge representation languages.

This paper presents a meta-modelling procedure called “superparameterization”, which automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive process of manually cataloging data into discrete-time chunks.
Exploiting relationships for object consolidation
55 Citations2005Zhaoqi Chen, Dmitri V. Kalashnikov +1 more
This paper addresses one of the data cleaning challenges, called object consolidation, and views datasets as attributed relational graphs (ARGs) of object representations (nodes) connected via relationships (edges), and applies graph partitioning techniques to accurately cluster object representations.
