DQ-VORD: A methodology for managing and integrating data quality requirements into software requirement specification Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Providing data with an adequate level of quality, especially for Internet applications (e.g. Web Portals), has been increasingly becoming a very important issue for organizations, because data is a strategic asset for making decisions, or concretizing business. We posit that the raising and assurance of adequate levels of quality for data must be taken into account from the earliest phases of software development. To achieve this goal, we propose to introduce specific data quality requirements as new software requirements, more specific for Web Portals ones. For this goal, we have depicted a strategy consisting on identifying and integrating requirements corresponding to functionalities of Web Portals for the different kind of users (viewpoints), and their specific Data Quality requirements, for developing software enable to manage data with the adequate level of quality. To simplify the underlying complexity, in this paper we present a methodology based on viewpoints, DQ-VORD, which can be used to guide developers to build Data Quality aware-Web Portals. © 2009 IADIS.
