Data Quality Reporting Tool

The purpose of the Data Quality Reporting Tool is to create a Data Quality Statement (a description of the characteristics of your data).  

A data quality statement is valuable because it helps users: 

  • decide whether your data will be fit for their specific purpose 
  • understand how the data could be used
  • know whether it can be compared with other, similar data. 

All NSW government data that is released and shared should be supported by a Data Quality Statement to help your data users make an informed decision about their data use.  

The code for the Data Quality Reporting Tool is available via GitHub at:  https://github.com/NSWDAC/Data-Quality-Tool
