Metadata & Quality
ISO/IEC 25012
Data Quality Model
Defines a general data quality model with fifteen characteristics (accuracy, completeness, consistency, credibility, currentness, accessibility, compliance, confidentiality, and others), split into inherent and system-dependent views.
Useful as the dictionary behind your data quality checks: when a contract or regulation says data must be "accurate and complete", 25012 is where those words have an agreed definition.
