The Information Perspective of SOA Design, Part 6: The Value of Applying the Data Quality Analysis Pattern in SOA

Overview

For SOA services to be successful and reusable, it is important that the data they expose is of acceptable quality for all the consumers. Exposing quality data is necessary in any SOA initiative.

Data profiling and, in particular, quality analysis are traditional components of enterprise data architecture.
