The National Data Repository: Data Quality Metrics Workgroup-Part 1. Background and Case for Change. Energistics 2017
When we look at implementing new methodologies, processes or tools, we need to have a good business case that is based on an understanding of the current situation and its shortfalls compared with the benefits that the new approach will bring. The net result must show a positive difference, perhaps not immediately but certainly over the short to medium term.
This guide is about developing the case for change for a data quality initiative.

The National Data Repository: Data Quality Metrics Workgroup-Part 1-Part 2. Business Rules Fundamentals. Energistics, 2017
A business rule is a statement that describes a valid condition of a data attribute with respect to how it supports one or more business activities. A single data attribute can have several valid conditions that occur as one or more of the data quality dimensions. Each of these valid conditions can be described as a business rule.
Thinking through a particular business activity and working out the various valid conditions for a given data attribute defines how the quality of that data attribute can be improved. When implemented, business rules collectively check all valid conditions for all data attributes defined and report the exceptions that are found.
