validity
accuracy
consistency
[data quality] proportion of stored data against the potential of “100% complete”
completeness
[data quality] nothing will be recorded more than once based upon how that thing is identified
uniqueness
[data quality] degree to which data represent reality from the required point in time
timeliness
[data quality] data are valid if it conforms to the syntax of its definition
validity
[data quality] degree to which data correctly describes the “real world” object or event being described
accuracy
[data quality] absence of difference, when comparing 2 or more representations of a things against a definition
