任何组织如果想要采取信息产品(IP)方法,不仅需要一套支持理论,而且需要模型、工具和技术。尽管已经有很多文章探讨了组织如何培养数据质量意识以及识别根本原因的方法,但这些方法只是信息产品管理员和数据质量分析师工具箱中的一部分,只有与信息产品图的构想相结合才能真正为信息质量项目提供支持。文章提出信息产品图,然而开发信息产品图的标准方法正在修订,信息产品图的构成还在不断完善。一个由来自学术界和数据质量专家组成的特别委员会(在本文中称之为标准组织)正在制定绘制和维护信息产品图的标准。
To implement the information product(IP) approach, an organization needs not only a supportive philosophy but also models, tools, and techniques. Despite many papers have discussed a number of ways in which an organization can foster data quality awareness and identify root causes. Those methods are part of the tool kit of the information product manager and data quality analysts. Those in conjunction with the construct of information product maps provide a formidable set of tools to implement the IP approach and support a viable data quality program. It is important to make clear at the outset that the development of a standard methodology for producing IP- Maps is an ongoing project and that the ideas and constructs presented here are evolving. Nevertheless, the constructs are usable and useful. Work is ongoing to establish standards for the creation and maintenance of information product maps. An ad hoc committee of academics and data quality practitioners has been working to establish these standards. We refer to this committee as Standards Group throughout this paper.
