Abstract
This article will discuss ongoing research about Information Quality (IQ). Raters evaluating various IQ dimensions (accuracy, completeness, objectivity…) of same object showed low agreement level, therefore making IQ not measurable. Increase of IQ measurability to sufficient level would present an opportunity for guidelines to replace information of low with high quality. Speculations why IQ dimensions are not measurable have been made but at the same time mechanisms that improve agreement level have been proposed by researchers for validation. Moreover context in which information is being evaluated has not been yet addressed by existing research. This article will describe and explain a study that aims to create a robust model that will validate and measure effect of three different IQ aspects. Although this article is still work in progress, current results regarding research construction and preliminary testing will be presented as well as future steps.
