In a global and increasingly competitive market where organizations are driven by information, the search for ways to transform data into true knowledge is critical to a business's success. Few companies, however, have effective methods of managing the quality of this information. Because quality is a multidimensional concept, its management must consider a wide variety of issues related to information and data quality. "Information and Database Quality" is a compilation of works from research and industry that examines these issues, covering both the organizational and technical aspects of information and data quality. It should be a useful reference for both researchers and professionals involved in any aspect of information and database research.
