Certainly one key to dealing with "the subjective matter of data quality" is to start to make data quality issues more *objective*. Yes, and go one step further by making the *objectivity* part of the data. Basically, discussion/conversation/debates about the data should be part of the zeitgeist of any Data Object or collection of Data Objects. > Everyone can have their own opinion about what constitutes quality, but in the Web of linked data those opinions should be documented, in the form of metadata on evaluation criteria, metrics, processes, etc. (PICS anyone?) associated with the data. Yep! As stated above. > Even if there isn't agreement on what those criteria, etc. are, there would be a better basis for grappling with the disagreements. Agreeing to Disagree is one of the most powerful aspects of the Web and the emerging Web of Linked Data :-) > > -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen President& CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca: kidehen
