Data Quality vs. Data Integrity
At JCMB, we differentiate Data Quality and Data Integrity:
Data Quality is ensuring a high-fidelity reproduction of source Data that adheres to a clearly defined corrective action plan for error/omission resolution. The deliverable is subject to an independent QA/QC test and validation with respect to mutually agreed standards and procedures with the customer.
The result is a sound rendition of the Distribution Network with:
-
A Data Model that supports full connectivity
-
Accurate complex device behavior and manipulation
-
Consistent attribution
-
Standardized symbology
-
A certified product that conforms to the specification
Data Integrity goes beyond Data Quality. It is an on-going business practice that aims to achieve Data symmetry with the real-time state of the Distribution Network.
The screenshot below demonstrates one example of a Data Integrity effort. The white symbols represent two types of poles. Notice that the transformers and streetlights mounted on the poles cast a recognizable shadow.
