“There are a number of theoretical frameworks for understanding data quality. According to the Government of Canada’s Quality of Information Guideline, a draft document developed in support of the former 2003 Policy on Management of Information, there are seven attributes of quality information: relevancy, accuracy, reliability, completeness, understandability, accessibility, and timeliness.”
