Abstract
We use the term database to refer to all data captured, stored, organized, and made available for access and processing. A large collection of data is often heterogeneous, as it is the result of data integration, the merging of data from different and diverse data sources. When planning to build a large and/or heterogeneous database (buzzword: big data) while ensuring the quality of the collected data, special challenges arise that we address in this chapter.
