Why Should We Care?
•Validity errors
–Ability to preserve information content is
compromised
•Consistency errors
–Reliance on external metadata to guide workflow
processes
–Inconsistencies
breed doubt: which one is correct?
•We work closely with vendors, who are highly technically
competent; what will happen when we
work with faculty, students,
and staff?
–Minimize the opportunities for these errors to occur
