Abstract

Evaluation of data quality in web information systems provides support for a correct interpretation of the contents of web pages. Data quality dimensions proposed in the literature need to be adapted and extended to represent the characteristics of data in web pages, and in particular their dynamic aspects. The present paper proposes and discusses a model and a methodological framework to support data quality in web information systems. The design and a prototype implementation of a software module to publish quality information are also described.
