Data quality

Skills and Competency Framework, Supporting the development and adoption of the Information Management Framework (IMF) and the National Digital Twin, published by the Centre for Digital Built Britain (CDBB) in 2021, defines data quality as: ‘Data that is fit for the purposes and context in which it will be used.'

The GIIG Glossary, published by the Government & Industry Interoperability Group in 2022, defines data quality as: ‘The degree to which a set of inherent characteristics of data fulfils requirements.’
