With the Conformed Dimensions of Data Quality, Dan Myers has created a practicable basis for establishing data quality in companies. The concept goes far beyond the DQ dimensions. In addition, Underlying Concepts are described and named and some of the most relevant scenarios that occur in companies are described. The Conformed Dimensions thus represent a practical approach that makes dealing with data quality in companies manageable.
Dan Myers has been a recognized expert in data and information quality for many years. The development of the Conformed Dimensions, regular surveys on the use of the dimensions, practical reports at conferences and much more underline his expertise. During the direct cooperation in the context of IQ International, Dan was always an excellent discussion partner whom I personally still hold in high esteem.
Regarding Dan's Book, Data Quality Techniques:
“Data Quality Techniques provides an exceptionally well-founded yet highly practical approach to a topic that has become critical for modern organizations: data quality. It succeeds in presenting complex relationships surrounding data quality techniques in a clear and accessible way.
Particularly compelling is the book’s clear three-part structure: from a solid introduction to data quality and a structured presentation of Conformed Dimensions and implementation techniques, to the detailed description of individual DQ dimensions, and finally to concrete methods for measuring and managing data quality. The precise differentiation between the various DQ dimensions, the references to underlying concepts, and the illustrative explanations supported by numerous examples make this book a valuable practical reference.
This book is for anyone who needs to work with data quality techniques and wants to help their organization establish a reliable and trustworthy data foundation.”
