IAwDQ 2013 - Fourth Ibero-American Workshop on Data Quality (IAwDQ 2013)

Poor data quality is generally misunderstood and frequently ignored. The problem of poor data quality stored in information systems is widespread in the governmental, commercial and industrial environments. Alarming situations with various data quality problems cannot be ignored anymore. Theoretical as well as pragmatic approaches are urgently needed to be proposed and validated. As a consequence, data quality is nowadays one of the hot topics in the academic and industrial communities.
Data quality is not just their correctness. Data quality also includes dimensions, such as completeness, consistency, currency, interpretability, and many others, depending on the context where data is used and also on the data consumers. Obtaining and maintaining data of high quality is not an easy goal. Despite this complexity, data quality has a crucial role on the competitiveness of organizations, which means that we have to face and solve the data quality problems.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners, who are dealing with data quality issues, providing the opportunity to promote, present, stimulate and facilitate the discussion of ongoing work in this area. This workshop can also provide a forum to present latest research results, new technology developments and new applications in this area of data quality.
