Data and Information Quality

Many groups within ESIP have longstanding interests in providing quality measures for Federation products and services. Data quality has many dimensions (instrument accuracy, algorithm effectiveness, etc.) and is highly dependent upon the intended applications. For example, real-time applications have relatively low accuracy requirements, but service quality (% of time operational) is crucial. We will establish criteria for various dimensions and levels of services of data and service quality. Quality annotations will be elicited from both ESIP providers and the greater user community who can “rate” Federation of offerings (1 to 5 stars) and provide supporting comments.
ESIP community benefits: Better branding and usability of Federation products and services.
