Workshop Report: Affiliates Workshop on Data Quality (2001)

Workshop Purpose:

The purpose of the workshop was to bring to the fore current issues of data quality as they affect users and researchers dealing with large data sets in potentially complex settings. There are (at least) three overlapping constituencies that have a stake in these matters: computer scientists, statisticians, and users (especially in business and government). One aim was to create interactions across the constituent groups leading to collaborative efforts to resolve open questions; another goal was to disseminate more widely an awareness of the problems, methodologies and practices.
