C. Designing Databases
To create a database, you must understand the relationships among the data, the type of data that will
be maintained in the database, how the data will be used, and how the organization will need to
change to manage data from a company-wide perspective.
A. Establishing an Information Policy that specifies the organization’s rules for sharing,
disseminating, acquiring, standardizing, classifying, and inventorying information.
B. Ensuring Data Quality begins with a data quality audit, which is a structured survey of the
accuracy and level of completeness of the data in an information system. Then, data cleansing,
also known as data scrubbing, consists of activities for detecting and correcting data in a database
that are incorrect, incomplete, improperly formatted, or redundant.
