Use of Context in Data Quality Management: a Systematic Literature Review

The importance of context in data quality (DQ) was shown many years ago and nowadays is widely accepted. Early approaches and surveys defined DQ as textitfitness for use and showed the influence of context on DQ. This paper presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) for investigating how context is taken into account in recent proposals for DQ management. We specifically present the planning and execution of the SLR, the analysis criteria and our results reflecting the relationship between context and DQ in the state of the art and, particularly, how that context is defined and used for DQ management.
