Reviewing Information Quality

Abstract

Revisiting a concept is a mandatory approach when new technologies emerge. This chapter presents a reviewed study, based on a previous publication, about information quality. As it happened in the first attempt to study and develop this concept, it remains challenging, as this context contemplates both tangible and intangible observations for two unlimited parts—information and quality—researched isolated, with its own alternatives, methods and objectives for several years and from different points of view. This chapter's approach is to bring additional work published since the original one and develop conclusions reached at that time, providing a new level of comprehension, which allows the continuity of this debate of information quality, considering the emerging strong trend of analytics processing and informational service offering.
