Useful Data - Data management

In I.T. we are the custodians of the data. It is not ours. We look after it. CIA applies.

In defining systems and processes, the right level of detail and accuracy matters. CAR applies.

The information managers who managing the live data need to ensure its value is maximised. FAIR applies.

CAR data quality dimensions

  • Reasonable


FAIR data principles

Intended to optimise the reuse of data to gain the most value from it.
