Description
Data is the new gold. Enterprises and public organizations are increasingly aware of the importance of data for continuity and improvement of their business processes. But how can one establish objectively whether the data of an organization matches required quality standards. The Software Improvement Group and Finavista have jointly developed a measurement model for determining the quality of enterprise data. The model operationalizes the ISO 25012 international standard for data quality. We are looking for good measurements of data quality, in particular for open data (for instance stored in JSON)
Goals
In this project, you will apply the data quality model in a number of case studies, study its statistical behaviour, and draw lessons about its strengths and weaknesses. If necessary, you will design improvements to the model based on your analysis.
You will be embedded in the Research team of the Software Improvement Group. One of SIG's researchers will be appointed as a daily supervisor. Apart from daily supervision, you will interact with the other researchers on a regular basis. SIG is a dynamic, demanding, and rewarding working environment.
Students are expected to perform solid scientific work that is at the same time relevant for practitioners. You will get ample support and supervision and in return we expect you to learn fast and take responsibility for obtaining excellent results.
