Quality Assessment

Assessing the quality of data is important because doing so enables users to assign credibility of data. However, it is not clear how to define quality nor how to measure it. Hence this workshop set out to: (1) develop a definition of data quality (2) suggest means by which data quality can be measured; and (3) suggest how the results of such assessments should be interpreted in terms of what they reveal about data quality. In doing so, the workshop bore in mind the diversity of travel survey methods used throughout the world and how this affects the assessment of data quality and whether universal measures of data quality are achievable or not. The workshop also considered whether the International Standards Organization (ISO) can usefully play a role in measuring, and ultimately in establishing and maintaining travel survey data quality.
