Data Quality Testing at the service of Open Data
2023-05-19 , Seminar room 1

Last year we introduced the importance of Data Quality for the implementation of high quality software applications and algorithms and we developed some scripts that analyzed the completeness, validity and accuracy of the Open Data Hub datasets.

The journey in the data quality world did not end there.
Unknowingly, that day was the beginning of a new journey that has one destination: make data quality testing accessible to anyone.

The by-product of this path is a released open source software that gives the possibility of seeing the quality of the dataset based on initially proposed tests and criteria, verify what are the suggested warnings, modify the tests and automate the tests so that they are repeated periodically.

During the talk we will present our journey, what we have learned from it and the first version of the data quality testing software.
