Q

briefly explain the six core dimensions of quality data (examples)

A

[CUTVAC]
1. completeness
all required data w/o any missing parts (ensure all fields in a student registration form are filled out)

  1. uniqueness
    each data entry is recorded once only, no duplicates (making sure each student has a unique record in the database)
  2. timeliness
    data accurately represents the current specific point in time it is meant to capture (update emergency contact details immediately when they change)
  3. validity
    data conforms to the expected format, type and range of values (ensure date of birth field only accepts valid dates)
  4. accuracy
    data correctly reflects the real-world object or event it is describing (correct spelling of a student’s name in database)
  5. consistency
    same data is represented uniformly across diff platforms or systems, w/o any contradictions (student’s database is consistent across the school’s administrative database and website)

Q

briefly explain the utility of the data

A

[KRANUST]

  3. navigable
    easy to find and access the info when needed
  4. understandable
    info must be presented in way that makes sense
  5. sufficient quality
    meet certain standards of completeness, accuracy and timeliness to be useful
