Data quality is a continuing conversation topic among professionals and users. What is its role? How does one use it? And always, how does one manage the ever-growing amount of data?

We found this topic on Information Management in their article, “Data Quality is Not Fitness for Use.” The author digs deep into the who, what, and why of data.
