Re: DQV Comments

Hi Antoine,

I think we could look at constructing an architecture for DQ that focuses
on corroboration and validation, in which all sources of Data on the Web
should at least be doubted without x number of corroboration sources, some
lineage validation, and some data decay formula.  The architecture could
focus on the technical characteristics of linked data corroboration and
lineage validation and we could insert methods for using the architecture
into the BP document.

Happy to discuss on the next DQV call.  When is it?


Best Regards,

Steve

Hi Steve,

You're reading it fully right.

The first answer is that we need to have a very general framework, so that
everyone can create data that represent their own metrics or subjective
assessments, which they think should be done. It is very difficult to
anticipate the diversity of needs, and we don't want to create a
straitjacket that would prevent too many people from extending our DQV in
the way they need it.

The second answer is that such an abstract framework is not very
satisfactory for us editors, too. This is why we've created a section on
example usage [1], if just to give ideas to readers on how to use the
generic framework. This is still work in progress, as you can see.

The problem is that we don't have much input from the DWBP use cases and
best practices. They too mention quality in a very abstract way, as we've
found in our analysis [2,3]. I've repeatedly asked for more input (e.g.
during the last F2F), but it seems really not easy for the group to do it.

So if we want to add stuff now, we have to look outside the current UCs and
BPs, as I think our investigations on completeness has showed [4].
In fact we have some leads. For example, a colleague from VU, Davide
Ceolin, works on expressing ISO quality criteria for datasets as RDF.
But doing more requires time, which the editors alone don't have. Actually
for the last F2F we had even started to create a questionnaire [5] but none
of us could push it further.

And in any case, it will not provide a mandate for including properties and
classes for specialized metrics or subjective assessments (annotations) in
DQV itself, if this is what you're after.
Fitting specialized classes and properties as part of the standard is
possible only if we find evidence of general need for them, preferably
based on the material the group has gathered.

But of course if you have ideas (and it seems you have some) to extend the
current material we must start with, it's more than welcome!

Kind regards,

Antoine

in which a percentage can be applied.  One can also apply subjective
assessments by comparing one data set to other sources.  One can even
assert that data without comparative sources can't be trusted - no unbribed
journalist would ever publics a story without corroborated sources...

have been a smart move to have the doc self-contained, earlier than later.
