Transparency It is About the Data - the Quality of the Data

From American National Standards Institute, Inc.
 

 

We live in a data centric environment where the real world is increasingly viewed not first hand but through the data that represents it. Very few of us actually touch, or even see the tangible objects, or participate in the events we report on, instead we rely on the data and we contribute to its quality. Today, more than ever before, our access to data, the ability of our computer applications to use it and the ultimate accuracy of the data determines how we see and interact with the world we live and work in.
