AUTHOR(S):

TITLE

ABSTRACT

The Open Data goal is similar to the other open data movements – Open Sources, Open Access etc. Although the Open Data philosophy is defined long time ago, the term gains popularity with the Internet and World Wide Web - WWW rise and mostly with the Open Data initiatives Data.gov and Data.gov.uk. The curiosity of the world enforces the Big Data to become Open and then to connect the available open data in linked. In this article is presented a comprehensive review of established methodologies for assess the data quality. It is proposed a multistep integrated approach for quality assessment of Open data as the methodology for its evaluation.

KEYWORDS

Open data, linked data, open knowledge, open data cloud, methodology, assessment
