- DQ: fit for purpose; formally, degree to which relevant DQ dimensions meet requirements.
- DQ Management: ongoing planning, implementation and control of activities applying quality-management techniques so data meets consumer needs.
- Different consumers/uses can require different quality dimensions or thresholds.
- It requires continuing standards, monitoring, issue management, training and improvement as data/processes change.
- Stakeholder experience/reputation; organizational effectiveness; reduced risk/cost; efficiency/productivity.
- Govern fitness for purpose; lifecycle DQ controls; measure/monitor/report; improve processes/systems.
- Criticality; standards-driven; objective measurement/transparency; prevention; root-cause remediation; embedded in business processes; systematically enforced; connected to service levels.
- Focus on data most important to enterprise/customer outcomes and highest risk.
- Express stakeholder DQ requirements as measurable standards/expectations.
- Measure consistently and share results and methods with relevant stakeholders.
- Prevention stops future defect creation/propagation; correction repairs bad data after the fact.
- Find/remove the underlying process/system cause rather than repeatedly treating symptoms.
- Business process owners, supported by Stewards/DQ and systematic controls.
- System owners implement DQ requirements through systematic edits/controls.

- A measurable characteristic used to express DQ requirements and measurements.
- Validity, Completeness, Consistency, Integrity, Timeliness, Currency, Reasonableness, Uniqueness/Deduplication, Accuracy.
- Conformance to defined type/range/format/precision/domain/time-frame rules.
- Required values/records are present under applicable conditions.
- Values/representations agree where shared meaning/relationship requires it.
- Values and relationships are coherent; parent-child/reference links are intact.
- Delay between capture/update and availability to the consumer.
- Currentness relative to last update, volatility and consumer need.
- Plausibility against fixed, statistical or benchmark expectations.
- Each real-world entity is represented once under identification logic.
- Correct representation of real-world entity/event.
- Validity = allowed by rule/domain; Accuracy = true to reality.
- Timeliness = availability delay; Currency = currentness/staleness.
