Principle 7 - Data Accuracy.
University administrative data must be accurate and collected in a timely way.
 Rationale
Performance and decision making, at all levels of the University, require dependable
data.
Implications
- Applications must adhere to data policies, standards, and documentation
when presenting, creating, and modifying data.
- Each individual that presents, creates or modifies data has a personal responsibility
for the accuracy and timeliness of that data.
- Data needs a steward, and policies and plans will be required for assigning
stewards.
- The data steward and those responsible for systems that use, create, or
modify the data must agree on what constitutes accuracy and timeliness of the
data.
- Each organizational unit that uses, creates or modifies data has operational
responsibility for data accuracy, validity, completeness, and consistency.
- In addition to data security, ease of use and ease of administration must
be considered in determining security policy implementation strategies.
- Data validity rules must be applied where they will be most effective (for
example, at the physical level of data, within the application, etc.)
