Abstract

An acceptable level of quality in data is nowadays one of the main objectives for any kind of organization that wishes its business processes to prosper. Thus, introducing mechanisms or artefacts focused on the data quality management is a crucial requirement for the analysts if the level of quality of data for the functionality at hand is to be ensured. Considering the benefits offered through the use of web applications, and knowing that a high percentage of companies worldwide use this type of applications. The main objective of this work is to provide the developers with a methodology necessary to specify data quality requirements, in order to prevent data quality issues.
