Data Quality provides an exposé of research and practice in the data
quality field for technically oriented readers. It is based on the
research conducted at the MIT Total Data Quality Management (TDQM)
program and work from other leading research institutions. This book is
intended primarily for researchers, practitioners, educators and
graduate students in the fields of Computer Science, Information
Technology, and other interdisciplinary areas. It forms a theoretical
foundation that is both rigorous and relevant for dealing with advanced
issues related to data quality. Written with the goal to provide an
overview of the cumulated research results from the MIT TDQM research
perspective as it relates to database research, this book is an
excellent introduction to Ph.D. who wish to further pursue their
research in the data quality area. It is also an excellent theoretical
introduction to IT professionals who wish to gain insight into
theoretical results in the technically-oriented data quality area, and
apply some of the key concepts to their practice.
