Researches on information quality standard is few both domestic and abroad, furthermore, there is no research on quality standard of rural information. In order to meet the need of China’s rural information construction, promote the development of information science, the research objects and difficulties in the study of quality standard of rural information have been analyzed by the authors. N...

Executive Summary/Abstract: Poor accounts payable data quality has a direct negative impact on an organization’s cash flow. Even so, many organizations still experience data quality problems in their accounts payable process. We have seen a variety of approaches used to assess and address this problem. However, these approaches tend to be applied in a “one off” manner and not in an integrated a...

Executive Summary/Abstract: The “Data Quality Act” is a recent law in the United States requiring every federal agency in the U.S. Government to produce information quality guidelines. It further implies that the agencies are required to follow those guidelines giving them the effect of standards. At the U. S. Department of Transportation we have written guidelines to comply with the Act, impro...

There is a repeatable series of phases that a data quality initiative will move through as an organization first attempts to achieve a corporate goal and ultimately implements a solution that rectifies the data quality problems that hinder the goal. The IQ Solution Cycle is the series of three phases, Awareness, Quantification, and Implementation that the data quality project team will implicit...

Information quality (IQ) problems can have severe consequences in the health care sector. Since its inception, the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) has recognized the importance of information quality and has implemented a framework designed to evaluate the data quality of the numerous CIHI data holdings. After one year of implementation, a metaevaluation of the CIHI data qualit...

The differences between software quality and information systems quality are discussed from three different viewpoints managerial, organisational, and engineering. The objective is to highlight the true meaning of information systems quality (ISQ) by considering its role in organisations and by comparing it with software quality (SWQ). An understanding of the relationship between software quali...

Wixom and Todd (2005) integrated the user satisfaction and the technology acceptance literatures to theorize about and account for the influence of the information technology artifact on usage. Based on Wixom and Todd’s integrated model of technology usage, we propose the 3Q model by investigating the role of service quality (SQ), in addition to system quality (SysQ) and information quality (IQ...

Recent theoretical developments in information quality research have focused on defining, understanding and assessing data quality. The frameworks are intended to further theoretical knowledge as well as inform practice. Prior experimental work on the impact of data quality upon management decision-making is not based explicitly on theoretically-grounded data quality frameworks. As a result, re...

During the last ten years numerous research instruments emerged for evaluating the service quality of Web-based information systems. B2C recommender systems are information systems that support users in selecting information, products, or services improving their decision making process. Unfortunately, the majority of these instruments do not acknowledge the full range of recommendation functio...

GIS professionals seem to assume that better data leads to better decisions. Is this true? An analysis to determine the effects of data quality on the quality of decisions reveals relations that are useful to consider before blindly investing in data quality improvement. This article analyzes data quality and how it influences the quality of a decision with an example of environmental engineeri...
