Quality Assessment – Mapping Quality
Mapping Qualitiy
Why?
Knowledge about quality necessary to find out
losses of e.g. qualifier
ambiguity of single mapping (e.g. field „creator“ can be mapped to „author“ or
„publisher“)
When?
Idea: get feedback directly during mapping creation or editing process
How?
Roundtrip Mapping
Transform source format A to target format B
Transform B to format A‘ with vice versa transformation
Ideally: A = A‘
Result: Table with exact clarification and explanation of potential errors
Meta Data Quality

Quality Assessment – Meta Data Quality
Mapping Qualitiy
Meta Data Quality
Why?
Feedback regarding e.g.
Is field empty?
Is there a structure?
Feedback regarding meta data changes during transformation and enrichment process
Optimise mapping creation process
Feedback for data provider regarding in-house repositories
How?
Check of transformation and enrichment
Analysis of results coming from single partner recommender
Check within in-house repositories
Result:
Web application: http://eexcess-dev.joanneum.at/DataQualityWebApp
Statistics regarding data changes
Statement regarding data structure (e.g. pattern)
Degree of filling in of data fields
