About the GS1 GDSN Data Quality Challenge

The Data Quality Challenge

In the last months of 2007 and the first months of 2008, the GS1 Data Quality Steering Committee launched a new programme to boost data quality and support the Data Quality Framework.

This “Data Quality Challenge” aims to increase adoption of the Data Quality Framework, gather feedback for its improvement, and most importantly, create success stories.

Trading partners are collaborating through the Data Quality Challenge to identify key areas within their relationship that can become improved through the implementation of data quality principles from the Data Quality Framework.

The Data Quality Challenge builds upon the GS1 Data Quality Framework’s self-assessment procedure. This self-assessment (detailed in Chapter 4 of the GS1 Data Quality Framework) enables organisations to assess their compliance by positioning their current status in comparison to best practices. It also reveals important opportunities that can be further exploited by trading partners to enhance their processes for data management and data quality.
