Specification of Initial Requirements

Abstract

This chapter specifies the requirements for an ontology-based data quality management framework, called Semantic Data Quality Management Framework (SDQM), which shall be developed to support data quality management activities by the use of ontologies. We thereby apply the Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM, cf. Peffers et al., 2008) process as explained in section 2.4. We start with describing the required artifacts with a motivating scenario that illustrates the needs related to data quality management. Based on the motivating scenario, we derive initial requirements for the framework.
