Abstract

Characteristics of Web services such as interoperability and platform independence make Web service a promising technique to manage data quality effectively in inter-organizational information exchanges. In this paper, we describe an application of Web services for managing data quality in the B2B information exchange that is typically characterized by large volumes of information, widely distributed data sources, and frequent information interchanges. In such environments, it is important that organizations are able to evaluate the quality of information they get from other organizations. We propose a framework for managing data quality in inter-organizational settings using the information product approach. We highlight the requirements for data quality management and the developing Web service standards to show why Web services offer a unique, yet simple platform for managing data quality in inter-organizational settings.
