Self-Awareness in Data Quality

All too often, Data Quality is implemented via custom software developed for specific uses. This case study will show how metadata-driven approaches to Data Quality can be used to:

Enable generalized data quality engines which need minimal maintenance
Define data quality rules in broadly understood business terms
Facilitate (and even automate) the application of those rules in multiple contexts
Integrate real-time quality analysis into recurring data transmissions

While the primary intent of the presentation is to get people to begin thinking about data quality in innovative ways, it will also include specific reference architectures illustrating real-world implementations.
