Data quality dimensions
The Owl Insights utilises the below dimensions to inform the inclusion of data sources shared through the LGA Connect program. Only data that achieves a High or Moderate quality rating will be shared.
Accuracy - the extent to which data represents real-world observations and phenomenon from agreed-upon sources
Credibility - is it from a credible source (Government, Quasi-government, Peak body, Associations, Private providers in sport and recreation)
Integrity / transparency - has the method of data capture been shared, and has the raw data been shared / been made available
Validity - What is the sample size (is it a minimum of n=4 people qualitatively and minimum n=40 people quantitatively)
Completeness - is the data complete (for the information that is it presenting)
Consistency - is the data consistently captured over time (if tracking) and with other data that it is comparing / contrasting
Timeliness - has the data been captured in the last four years
Uniqueness - is the data primary or secondary (sourced from other sources), and is it providing a new perspective or simply replicating others
The key to assess the above:
HIGH
MODERATE
LOW
NOT PRESENT / UNKNOWN
All of the above information conforms to the definition of this quality parameter
Most of the information conforms
A proportion conforms
None of the information conforms and / or it can't be verified
