Abstract

The spread of electronic use of data in various areas has put importance of data quality tohigher level. Data quality has syntactic and semantic component; the syntactic component isrelatively easy to achieve if supported by tools (either off-the-shelf or our own), while semanticcomponent requires more research. In many cases such data come from different sources, aredistributed across enterprise and are at different quality levels. Special attention needs to bepaid to data upon which critical decisions are met, such as medical data for example. Thestarting point for research is in our case the risk of the medical area. In the paper we will focuson the semantic component of medical data quality.
