Why do You Need Trusted Data?
Limited, confusing, outdated, inaccurate, and unreliable data causes users not to trust their company’s data.
Using unreliable data affects all aspects of your organization like operational efficiency, customer experience, increases risk and, compliance.
This is why managing data access and assuring data understanding, validity, and quality is crucial. In this way, you create trusted data sources that you don’t need to question every time.
Carefully Monitor These Five Metrics
It is crucial to monitor and measure the different metrics of the data and combine them into a single number called a Data Trust Score, which represents the level of confidence in the data.
And that’s exactly what The Talend Trust Score™ does. It aggregates five metrics into a single and easy-to-understand score, that scales from 0 to 5. These metrics are:
Data Validity
measures the quality of the dataset itself, with the number of valid and invalid values across the dataset sample, as well as the use of semantic types.
Data Completeness
measures the number of empty records in your sample.
Data Popularity
measures the reliability of the dataset, based on user ratings and certification level.
Data Discoverability
reflects how well-documented your dataset is, with the use of proper metadata such as a description, tags, custom attributes, as well as the presence of an API. A well-documented dataset is easier to find.
Data Usage
shows how much your dataset is used as a source for pipelines or preparations.
The Talend Trust Score™ is updated every time an action impacting those parameters is performed.
You can improve the Talend Trust Score™ of your dataset by using Talend Cloud Data Preparation, Talend Cloud Pipeline Designer, and Talend Cloud Data Inventory.
