Abstract
In the paper an Open Platform of Data Quality Monitoring developed to audit data maintained in any enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is presented. Data quality of a database is verified according to a control schema defined in XML. Elementary tests can be developed using external test library written in .NET code embedded in XML and therefore can be easily incorporated into the Platform. Openness of the Platform makes it possible to use complex control techniques without the necessity to introduce any specific meta language. In order to evaluate the Platform tests for six different ERP systems were carried out using several data quality metrics. Results of the investigation proved the usefulness and flexibility of the Platform.
