Information Quality

The terms “information quality” and “data quality” are often used synonymously.

However, “information” and “data” from an academic perspective are different, as information is seen as using data in a given context.

From a philosophic angle, data and information are the lowest levels in a hierarchy where knowledge and wisdom are the highest levels (the DIKW hierarchy).
