Data Quality

 

Definition: Quality of data is defined by the match between the data and their acceptability for their intended purpose.

What This Means: To achieve data quality, an education agency must have metadata standards, quality assurance processes, and a high level of use of the data to ensure that everyone who touches the data has a stake in their quality. ESP’s Hierarchy of Data Quality is part of the U.S. Department of Education’s National Education Technology Plan. See our Optimal Reference Guides,“The Data Quality Imperative, Data Quality Series Part I” and “The Data Quality Manual, Data Quality Series Part II” at www.espsg.com/resources.)
