Linked.Archi ISO/IEC 25012 Data Quality Model: Description back to ToC

Ontology of data quality characteristics from ISO/IEC 25012. DataQuality is the root owl:Class (subClassOf arch:QualityAttribute). The fifteen data quality characteristics are owl:NamedIndividual instances of DataQuality — vocabulary terms referenced by arch:QualityMeasure and ad:QualityAttributeRequirement. Grouped into inherent, system-dependent, and inherent/system-dependent categories via skos:note.
