4.3.6 Data Quality

Because of the correlation between good data quality and maximizing the value of data as an economic good, the International Data Spaces explicitly addresses the aspect of data quality. Due to this premise, the International Data Spaces enables its participants to assess the quality of data sources by means of publicly available information and the transparency it provides with regard to the metadata brokerage functionality it offers. Especially in competitive environments, this transparency may force Data Providers to take data maintenance more seriously. By extending the functionality of the Connector with self-implemented Data Apps (see Section 3.2.4), the International Data Spaces lays the foundation for automated data (quality) management.
