Goals and results

The aim was to increase the usability and uniformity of data and extend the use of data for decision-making in society and by enterprises. The project made a study about the current state of data quality management and on this basis, preliminary quality criteria formed already in the course of 2020. The piloting started in 2021. The purpose is to describe the quality of data in a uniform manner.
With the help of the model developed in the project, government agencies will together produce more easily utilised and higher-quality data for public data resources.
