Synopsis and Future Work

Abstract

The research goal of this thesis was the investigation of the usefulness of ontologies for data quality management. In this thesis project, we created an ontology, called the Data Quality Management vocabulary (DQM vocabulary), to collect and store data requirements in a structured and linkable format. Moreover, we configured a wiki, called data requirements wiki, which contains standard forms to capture data requirements and to store them based on the elements of our ontology, the DQM vocabulary.
