Abstract
There is a need to measure the quality of data to be able to determine if data are useful for different purposes and to be able to determine if different methods for protection of the quality of data are effective. Data are symbols from a given set which do not have a given meaning. The receiver interprets data in his context as information. If the interpretation is different from the collectors interpretation, data will from the receivers point of view have a poor quality. Data will not give a true image of the objects. Data quality is defined as the usefulness of data for a given purpose and a given user. In this thesis we present a reference model of data usage for decision making. The model is used to define data quality and to propose how data quality can be measured. We also propose some methods for utilising given data for a given purpose to achieve ideal decisions. We also make a brief philosophical study of the data quality problem and the proposed model. 18 refs
