Abstract

Nowadays, data play a paramount role in organizations. Due to this fact, data quality management is becoming into one of the most important activities. As part of this management, and in order to obtain useful measurements, organizations need to develop data quality measurement plans. These plans must be developed taking into account the nature of the data and any other organizational factors that can affect to its use. This paper presents a methodology, MEPLAMECAL, aimed at developing such as plans. MEPLAMECAL is based on ISO/IEC 15939, which, in spite of being a software quality standard, we consider that can be applied to data because of the similarities among them. The proposed methodology is composed by two main activities: (1) establish and maintain the commitment of the organization with the data quality measurement process, and (2) the development of the plan itself.
