Abstract


Information quality (IQ) on the web has become a critical concern of organizations and individuals. The growth of data warehouses and the direct access of information from various sources on the web by managers and information users have increased the need for, and awareness of, high quality information. Yet, despite a decade of active research, Information quality lacks comprehensive methodology for its assessment and improvement and a few researches have presented practical way for measuring IQ criteria. This paper attempts to address some of the issues involved in information quality by classifying and discussing a wide ranging set of quality of information frameworks. In our classification, we consider three origins: criteria, models and validation methods of the models and criteria. This classification prepares a bed for developing practical and at the same time valid information quality model.
