Design for quality; Schema normalization
Definition
The design for data quality (DQ) is the process of designing data artifacts, such as information systems, databases, and data warehouses where data quality issues are considered relevant.
In information systems different types of data are managed; these may be structured such as relational tables in databases, semi-structured data such as XML documents, and unstructured data such as textual documents. Information manufacturing can be seen as the processing system acting on raw data of different types, whose aim is to produce information products. According to this approach, the design for data quality aims to design information-related processes (e.g., creation, updating, and delivering of information) taking into account data quality dimensions.
In the database field, the design for data quality has the objective of producing good (with respect to a given set of quality dimensions) conceptual and relational schemas and...
